Frequently Asked Questions

Personal Injury
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
In California, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions - for example, claims against government entities have shorter deadlines. It's crucial to consult with an attorney immediately after an accident to protect your rights.
Personal Injury
What is California's comparative negligence rule?
California follows a pure comparative negligence system. Even if you are partially at fault for an accident, you can still recover damages. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For instance, if you're 25% at fault, you can recover 75% of your damages.
Personal Injury
What damages can I recover in a California personal injury case?
In California, you may recover economic damages (medical expenses, lost wages, property damage) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress). In cases involving gross negligence or intentional misconduct, punitive damages may also be available.
Personal Injury
Do I need to pay upfront for a personal injury attorney?
Most personal injury attorneys in California work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don't pay attorney's fees unless we win your case. This allows injured parties to pursue their claims without upfront costs or financial risk.
Personal Injury
Should I accept the insurance company's first settlement offer?
Generally, no. Insurance companies typically make low initial offers to settle claims quickly and cheaply. Before accepting any offer, consult with an experienced personal injury attorney who can evaluate the true value of your claim and negotiate for fair compensation.
Real Estate
What are California's seller disclosure requirements?
California requires sellers to complete a Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS) revealing known material defects. Sellers must also disclose lead-based paint hazards, natural hazard zones, and provide a preliminary title report. Failure to properly disclose can result in legal liability.
Real Estate
How long is the inspection period in California?
California doesn't mandate a specific inspection period - it's negotiated in the purchase agreement. Typically, buyers have 7-17 days to complete inspections and decide whether to proceed, negotiate repairs, or cancel the contract and receive their deposit back.
Real Estate
What is California's cooling-off period for real estate purchases?
California does not have a cooling-off period for standard real estate transactions. Once you sign a purchase agreement, you're bound by its terms. However, certain types of sales (like timeshares or door-to-door sales) may have rescission rights.
Real Estate
What is California's transfer tax on real estate sales?
California charges a state transfer tax of $1.10 per $1,000 of the sales price. Additionally, many counties and cities impose their own transfer taxes, which can vary significantly. Your attorney can help calculate the total transfer tax obligations for your transaction.
Real Estate
Can a seller back out of a real estate contract in California?
Once both parties sign a purchase agreement, sellers cannot simply change their mind and back out. Sellers can only cancel under specific circumstances outlined in the contract, such as buyer breach or failure to meet contingencies. Wrongful cancellation can result in legal liability.
Lemon Law
What qualifies as a lemon under California's Lemon Law?
A vehicle may qualify as a lemon if it has a substantial defect covered by warranty that impairs use, value, or safety, and the manufacturer cannot repair it after a reasonable number of attempts (typically 2-4 attempts) or the vehicle is out of service for 30+ days for warranty repairs.
Lemon Law
How long do I have to file a Lemon Law claim in California?
You must file a Lemon Law claim within four years of discovering the defect or within the warranty period, whichever comes first. However, it's best to start the process as soon as you suspect you have a lemon to preserve all your rights and documentation.
Lemon Law
Does California's Lemon Law cover used vehicles?
Yes, California's Lemon Law covers used vehicles if they're still under the manufacturer's original warranty or a dealer's written warranty. The law also applies to certified pre-owned vehicles and some leased vehicles, provided warranty coverage exists.
Lemon Law
What remedies are available under California's Lemon Law?
If your vehicle qualifies as a lemon, you're entitled to either a replacement vehicle or a refund of the purchase price, including taxes, registration, and other official fees. You may also recover attorney's fees and costs, and the manufacturer typically pays for your legal representation.
Lemon Law
Do I need to pay attorney's fees for a Lemon Law case?
No, California's Lemon Law requires the manufacturer to pay your attorney's fees and costs if you win your case. This means you can pursue your lemon law claim without any out-of-pocket expenses for legal representation.
Lemon Law
What should I do if I think I have a lemon vehicle?
Document everything: keep all repair orders, correspondence with the dealer/manufacturer, and records of days out of service. Give the manufacturer a reasonable opportunity to fix the problem, then consult with a Lemon Law attorney to evaluate your case and protect your rights.
