What Our Clients Say
Compensation We Will Help You Recover
When pursuing a personal injury claim in California, clients may be entitled to various types of compensation to address the damages they have suffered:
- Lost Wages: Clients receive compensation for income lost during the recovery period and any future injury-related earnings.
- Medical Expenses: This covers emergency room visits, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical treatment necessary for recovery.
- Punitive Damages: Awarded in exceptional cases where the defendant’s conduct is reckless or egregious, punitive damages serve as punishment and a deterrent against similar behavior.
- Pain and Suffering: These damages, separate from economic damages, aim to provide reparation for the intangible harm endured by the victim. Physical pain, emotional anguish, mental distress, and a diminished quality of life are all factors considered when determining the amount of financial recompense for pain and suffering.
Conducting a thorough investigation into each case to gather evidence of the full extent of our client’s damages is always beneficial. This process may involve consulting with medical experts, gathering financial loss documentation, and obtaining witness testimonies.
Additionally, we utilize our negotiation skills to advocate for fair and just payouts during settlement negotiations with insurance companies, or pursue litigation in court if necessary. Our goal is to ensure that our clients receive the maximum compensation they are entitled to based on the specifics of their case.

Key Steps to Take After Your Accident
Experiencing an injury can be overwhelming, but taking the right steps afterward is crucial. Here’s what you should do:
- Seek Medical Attention: Your health and safety should be your top priority. Seek medical attention immediately, even if your injuries seem minor. Prompt medical treatment ensures your well-being and creates vital documentation of your injuries for your personal injury claim.
- Document the Incident: Take photos of the accident scene, including any hazards or contributing factors. Gather contact information from any witnesses who saw the incident occur. Keep thorough records of your medical treatment, including doctor’s visits, prescriptions, and rehabilitation appointments.
- Contact a Personal Injury Lawyer: Reach out to our qualified Southern California trial lawyers as soon as possible to discuss your case. We provide valuable guidance on your legal rights and options for pursuing compensation. Early legal consultation is key to preserving evidence, meeting deadlines, and protecting your rights.
- Avoid Speaking to Insurance Companies: After consulting with your lawyer, avoid discussing the details of the accident with insurance adjusters or providing recorded statements. Insurance companies may try to minimize your claim or shift blame onto you, so it’s essential to have legal representation before engaging in any discussions.
By following these steps, you can protect your health, gather essential evidence, and position yourself for a successful personal injury claim.
Don't Delay - The Clock is Ticking!
In California, the statute of limitations sets a strict deadline for filing personal injury claims. Generally, individuals have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. This time frame may vary depending on the specifics of the case, such as claims against government entities, which have shorter deadlines.
Delaying the initiation of your claim can have significant negative consequences. Evidence can degrade or disappear over time, witnesses may become harder to locate or their memories might fade, and critical documentation can be lost.
Starting your claim promptly ensures that your attorney has ample time to gather and preserve evidence and build a strong case. Additionally, early legal action allows your lawyer to meet all necessary deadlines and procedural requirements, maximizing your chances of a favorable outcome.
Fees to Expect for Your Personal Injury Case
Contingency fees are a common payment arrangement in personal injury cases, where the attorney’s fees are contingent upon the successful resolution of the case. This means that the lawyer only gets paid if you win your case or receive a settlement. The fee is typically a percentage of the amount recovered, which can range from 25% to 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the agreement between you and your attorney.
Benefits of Contingency Fees
We operate on a contingency fee basis only, which brings the following benefits:
- No Upfront Costs: We understand that dealing with an injury can be financially burdensome. This allows you to access top-tier legal representation regardless of your financial situation.
- Motivated Representation: Our payment is directly tied to the success of your case. This structure ensures that our team is highly motivated to work diligently on your behalf to secure the maximum possible compensation.
- Risk-Free: If we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing. This eliminates the financial risk for you and demonstrates our confidence in the strength of your case.
- Aligned Interests: Our contingency fee arrangement means our interests are aligned with yours. We benefit only when you benefit, encouraging us to work tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for you.
At Feher Law, we are committed to transparency and fairness. Before proceeding, we will discuss the specific terms of our contingency fee agreement with you, ensuring you fully understand the percentage that will be taken from your settlement and any other potential costs or expenses that might be deducted. Our goal is to provide you with the best legal representation without adding to your financial stress.
