The Personal Injury Claims Process

Then, we handle negotiations with insurance companies, working diligently to reach a fair resolution without the need for court involvement.
If negotiations fail to result in a satisfactory settlement, we seamlessly transition to litigation. At this stage, our attorneys file lawsuits, gather any additional evidence needed, and manage pre-trial procedures such as discovery.
We prepare rigorously for trial, looking over every detail, and advocate zealously for our clients in court. Whether the case resolves in weeks, months, or longer, we remain committed to achieving justice.

Compensation We Could Help You Receive
Our firm assists clients in pursuing compensation for various economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages often include medical expenses, lost income, and rehabilitation costs. These damages are tangible and can be calculated based on documentation like bills, pay stubs, and treatment plans.
Non-economic damages address the emotional and psychological toll caused by an injury, such as pain and suffering or loss of quality of life. These damages reflect the profound personal impact that goes beyond financial losses.
Many factors affect compensation amounts. The severity of injuries, the extent of medical treatment, and future care needs often play a role. The strength of the evidence and the degree of negligence involved also influence outcomes.
Our firm leverages legal knowledge and resources to build a comprehensive case designed to convey the full extent of damages. By presenting a well-documented claim, we help recover fair compensation that addresses immediate and long-term needs.

Manning Law FAQ

What Damages Can I Receive Compensation For?When your injury is caused by the actions or negligence of another person, you can take legal action to recover costs resulting from your injury. We represent clients seeking damages for the following:
Past and future medical bills:
Oftentimes medical bills can extend far beyond the individual's initial accident. The victim may require extended hospital stays, operations, and even regular checkups during their recovery process. If you were injured due to someone else's negligence, we will fight to ensure that you receive compensation for these expenses.Rehabilitation:
For injuries resulting in long-term side effects, it is important for the victim to be able to focus on their recovery and rehabilitation, rather than worrying about how they will pay for their recovery process.Lost income:
Most serious accidents will be accompanied by significant amount of time off of work. If someone else's negligence has rendered you unable to work, they should be held responsible for your loss of income during that time.Mental anguish:
Mental anguish can include various forms of depression and anxiety that someone may experience as a result of their accident, or even the loss of someone close to them.Physical pain and suffering:
This type of compensation can be pursued in regards to the physical injuries a victim has experienced and the pain and suffering that those injuries have caused them.General inconvenience

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?Under California’s personal injury statute of limitations, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a civil lawsuit in court against the responsible party. If the at-fault party is a government agency, you have an even tighter deadline of six months. If you do not seek legal action within this timeframe, the court will likely refuse to hear your case at any time to the future and you will lose your right to seek compensation. These deadlines can sometimes be extended under specific circumstances, such as if the injured party is a minor, the injury or the cause of the injury was not immediately apparent, or the injured individual suffers mental or physical incapacitation due to the injury. Regardless, if you are unsure how the statute of limitations applies to your case, it is important that you get an attorney involved promptly to guard your legal rights.

If I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer, Will I Have to Go to Court?While going to court is certainly a possibility, many personal injury claims are settled out of court through negotiations between your attorney and the responsible party’s insurance company. A trial may only be necessary if these negotiations should fail, such as in circumstances where fault is disputed or if there is a disagreement over the value of your claim. Our attorneys prepare each case as if it were going to trial to give us the best positioning possible during settlement negotiations.

How Long Will My Personal Injury Case Take?Your case could take several months or even years to settle depending on the situation. The timeline of your case will vary depending on factors such as the severity of your injuries, the amount of medical treatment you need, complications of liability, and the level of cooperation of the responsible party’s insurance company.

How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?Your case’s value will be based on factors such as the severity and long-term impact of your injuries, the amount of medical treatment you need, the strength of evidence proving the other party’s liability, and the amount of insurance coverage available in your case. It is best to discuss your case with a skilled attorney to get a more accurate picture of your case’s potential value.
