The Cohn & Swartzon Difference: Dedicated California Personal Injury Lawyers
A Law Firm Built on Trust and Loyalty

Frequently Asked Questions for California Personal Injury Lawyers
Accidents and injuries happen in unique and unexpected ways
At Cohn & Swartzon Injury Attorneys, we handle a wide range of personal injury claims, from car accidents and slip-and-fall incidents to catastrophic injuries and wrongful death cases. While we highlight many common types of injury cases on our site, your situation may involve different circumstances.
-
Do I need a California Personal Injury Lawyer after a minor crash?
Even if your accident seems minor, injuries and insurance complications can still arise. Working with a California Personal Injury Lawyer ensures you understand your rights and have someone on your side if the situation escalates. A quick consultation can protect you from future legal and financial stress—even if you ultimately choose not to file a claim.
-
How much does it cost to hire our California Personal Injury Lawyers?
At Cohn & Swartzon, we represent injury clients on a contingency fee basis—meaning you pay nothing upfront, and we only collect if we win your case. This ensures everyone has access to trusted California Personal Injury & Car Accident Lawyers, regardless of financial situation.
-
What should I bring to a free consultation with your firm?
When meeting with California Personal Injury Lawyers for the first time, it helps to bring accident reports, photos of the scene or injuries, medical records, insurance information, and any correspondence with other parties. This allows us to better understand your case and offer meaningful next steps during your free consultation.
-
How long do I have to file a claim in California after a car accident?
In most cases, the statute of limitations to file a personal injury claim in California is two years from the date of the accident. However, deadlines can vary—especially if a government entity is involved. That’s why it’s important to speak with qualified California Personal Injury Lawyers as soon as possible to avoid missing your chance for compensation.
-
Can I still file a claim if I was partially at fault in the accident?
Yes. Under California’s comparative negligence law, you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. Your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault, but you’re not automatically disqualified. A skilled California Personal Injury Lawyer can help you navigate these complexities and fight for a fair outcome.
-
Do I need to go to court to resolve my personal injury claim?
Not necessarily. Most personal injury cases in California are resolved through settlement negotiations without ever going to trial. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, going to court may be the best way to secure what you’re owed. Our team is fully prepared to represent you in both settlement talks and litigation.
-
How long does a California personal injury case take to resolve?
The timeline depends on the complexity of your case. Some claims may resolve in a few months, while others involving serious injuries or disputes can take a year or longer. While we aim to resolve cases efficiently, we never rush to settle for less than what you deserve.
-
What if I feel okay after the accident—should I still see a doctor?
Yes. Some injuries, such as whiplash or internal trauma, may not show symptoms right away. Getting a medical evaluation immediately after your accident protects your health and creates a medical record that supports your personal injury claim. Delaying care can hurt both your recovery and your case.
Additionally, if you have further questions or want to discuss your situation in detail, contact us directly for a free case evaluation.
