Personal injury lawyers serving Brentwood

The legal rules are the same, but the investigation often is not. Vasco Road runs through unincorporated land, so the California Highway Patrol usually handles the crash rather than a city police department, and rural crashes tend to involve higher speeds and more serious injuries. The core questions — who was negligent, what are your damages — are the same ones we work up in every case.

For most injury claims in California, two years from the date of injury, under Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. If a public entity may be responsible — a government vehicle, or a dangerous condition of public property — a government claim is generally required within six months. Two years sounds like plenty of time; the six-month deadline is the one that catches people off guard.

Disputed fault does not end a California injury claim. The state uses pure comparative negligence, so even a person found mostly at fault can recover the other side's share of the damages. What matters is the evidence — the report, the physical damage, witnesses — not who talked loudest at the scene.

Yes. Most of our Brentwood clients start with a phone or video call, and nearly everything after that can be handled remotely too. If an in-person meeting helps, we will find a time and place that works with your recovery, not against it.

Nothing out of pocket. We take injury cases on a contingency fee: the fee is a percentage of what we recover, agreed in writing up front, and if we recover nothing you owe us nothing. The initial case review is free.
