Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
I was Rear ended!
over a month ago, I was rear ended by a federal agent. We exchanged information and since he was at fault, I decided not to call an attorney, and since he was a federal officer, I didn't call the local police. How long should I wait before I call an attorney to get a settlement since the officer and the agency are giving me the run around. Also once I call an attorney can I sue for more such as legal fee's?

You should contact a PI attorney at your earliest convenience. I can refer you to a good one. You are not likely to recover your attorneys' fees, but a PI attorney on this kind of case should work on contingency.

YOu should not wait at all. There are government claims statutues that must be complied with to sue the government. Of course, the agent will be personally liable. If it is property damage only, sue in small claims. If you were injured, contact an attorney now.
