Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Re: restaurant injury

Cohen and Martin gave the best advice.

Re: restaurant injury

Zero, unless you timely filed a lawsuit, i.e. within one or two years of your injury, depending on the date of the accident.

Re: restaurant injury

Hi,

I need a lot more information to accurately determine what a reasonable settlement might be in your case because many factors must be analyzed. Next, I would have to fully research similar cases in your area to determine a range of reasonable settlement amounts. This would take too much time and money for me to undertake before you hire me. From what you wrote, you probably have a viable case so I strongly recommend that you consult me (415/364-1604 / [email protected]) or another lawyer before making another move. Having a lawyer also improves your negotiating position since insurers are far less inclined to lowball an attorney. Tragically, a lot of people unwittingly settle their claims for ridiculously low sums that won�t even cover reasonable future medical expenses. Don�t let yourself be a victim. Call me for assistance. We both live in the North Bay, so we could easily meet locally for a free consultation. Here�s a web page with more information about my practice and some general tips: http://www.lawguru.com/users/law/litigator/index.html.

Please be advised that your claim can be lost forever if you fail to file it with the court in time. As of January 1, 2003, the general statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years. This means that a lawsuit must be filed with the court within two years of the date of the accident or it will be lost forever. Previously, the statute of limitations for such lawsuits was one year. (Note, different rules apply to cases involving minors or government entities.) Be careful because it is possible for your claim(s) to be barred forever even if you are in the process of negotiating a settlement with the insurance companies. Trust me, they will not show any mercy.

There is a reason why professional licensing is required to litigate personal injury cases. Legal issues involved in such claims can get complicated if you lack the requisite knowledge and experience. Consequently, it is imperative that you get the strong, aggressive representation you need to win. I am available to help.

Best of Luck!!!
