The Insurance Company Is Not Your Friend
After an injury, you’ll likely receive a call from an insurance adjuster who seems helpful, even sympathetic. They may offer a quick settlement, promising to “take care of everything.” Here’s what they won’t tell you: their job is to protect the insurance company’s bottom line, not your best interests.
That seemingly generous offer? It’s likely a fraction of what your case is truly worth. Those friendly questions about your accident? They’re searching for ways to minimize or deny your claim. That request for a recorded statement? It could be used against you later. Do not speak with any insurance company before consulting with an attorney.
No Fee Unless We Win — Contingency Fee Representation
Here’s our promise: you pay nothing unless we secure compensation for you. No upfront costs. No hourly fees. No financial risk. We advance all case expenses — investigations, medical expert fees, filing costs — because we believe everyone deserves exceptional legal representation regardless of their current financial situation.
While you focus on healing, we handle everything: investigating your accident, dealing with insurance companies, gathering evidence, consulting medical and economic experts, and taking your case to trial when necessary. We’ve recovered over $50 million for our clients because we refuse to let insurance companies dictate what your pain is worth.
Frequently Asked Questions: Personal Injury in Southern California
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
In California, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury (California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1). However, claims against government entities — cities, counties, the state, Caltrans — require a government tort claim filed within six months of the incident. If you were injured on government property or by a government employee, contact us immediately so we can protect your deadline.
What compensation can I recover after an accident in Southern California?
Personal injury victims in California may recover: past and future medical expenses, lost wages and lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, and in egregious cases, punitive damages. The value of your case depends on the severity of your injuries, the strength of evidence establishing liability, and the available insurance coverage. Our attorneys calculate the full value of your damages before any settlement negotiation.
How much does a personal injury attorney in Los Angeles cost?
Personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis — there is no upfront cost and no fee unless we win your case. At Mann & Elias, we advance all litigation costs including investigations, expert witnesses, and filing fees, and recover them only if we obtain a settlement or verdict in your favor. You never pay out of pocket for our representation.
Should I accept the insurance company’s first settlement offer?
No. First settlement offers from insurance companies are almost always far below the true value of your claim. Once you accept a settlement and sign a release, you cannot pursue additional compensation — even if your injuries worsen or new medical needs emerge. Always consult with a personal injury attorney before accepting any settlement offer. Our consultation is completely free.
What should I do immediately after an accident in Los Angeles or Orange County?
(1) Seek medical attention immediately — even if you feel fine, symptoms often appear days later; (2) Call the police and obtain a report number; (3) Photograph the scene, your injuries, and any property damage; (4) Collect witness names and contact information; (5) Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company; (6) Contact an experienced personal injury attorney before speaking further with adjusters. Call Mann & Elias at (323) 301-3219 — we’re available 24/7.
