Does this sound like you?
If one of these describes your situation, it is worth a conversation. If none of them quite fit, call anyway, because the list is not exhaustive.
- Car, motorcycle, or other vehicle collisions
- Injuries caused by another party's negligence
- Serious or long-term injuries requiring future care
- An insurance company disputing or lowballing your claim
What the law protects
A personal injury claim can recover medical expenses, lost wages, future care, and compensation for pain and suffering. Insurance companies move quickly to protect their own interests, and early decisions often shape the entire claim, so it helps to have someone on your side from the start.
You should not have to fight an insurer alone while you are trying to recover.
What you may be able to recover
Depending on the facts, a personal injury claim can recover medical costs, lost income, future medical care, and compensation for pain and suffering. What a claim is worth depends on the severity of the injury and the specific circumstances.
| What | Covers |
|---|---|
| Medical costs | Treatment for the injury |
| Lost income | Earnings you missed |
| Future medical care | Care the injury will still require |
| Pain and suffering | Compensation beyond the financial loss |
How long you have
These are the dates that can end a case before anyone looks at what happened to you. Many claims have two. One to tell a government agency, and a second to file in court after that agency responds.
- Sue over an injury someone else caused
- 2 years
These are the general limits, not advice about your situation. Exceptions can make them shorter or longer, and the clock does not always start on the day you think. If you are close to one of these, or you think you are already past it, it is still worth asking.

Questions workers ask
Do you only take cases in Southern California?
No. Justin represents workers anywhere in California. These pages speak to Southern California because that is where the office is, but where in the state you work does not decide whether he can take your case.
What does it cost to hire Justin?
The consultation is free, and these cases are handled on a contingency basis. There is no fee unless we win, and if there is no recovery you owe no costs either.
Will my employer find out I called?
The consultation is confidential. Talking through what happened does not put your employer on notice, and nothing is filed because you called.
Other ways I help workers

Claims for workers hurt on the job, plus the retaliation and disability claims a comp case alone cannot reach.
