Fees, Costs and Case Results
Where representation is offered on a contingency basis there is no attorney fee unless we recover, and the firm advances case costs — filing fees, expert witnesses and medical records — which are then repaid out of any recovery. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee. The specific terms that apply to a matter are set out in the written fee agreement for that matter.
Where this site refers to a verdict, settlement or court order, that result was dependent on the facts of that case, and results will differ if based on different facts. Past results do not predict or guarantee the outcome of any other matter, and no particular outcome is promised or guaranteed.

- How much does a personal injury lawyer in California cost?
- Trembach Law works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and no attorney fees unless we win your case. Our free initial consultation allows us to evaluate your case at no cost. If we take your case, our fee is a percentage of the recovery — typically 33-40% depending on complexity. You never pay out of pocket for legal fees.
- What is the statute of limitations for personal injury in California?
- In California, the general statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 335.1. However, there are important exceptions: claims against government entities must be filed within 6 months, medical malpractice claims have a 1-year discovery rule (up to 3 years maximum), and minors have until their 20th birthday to file. Contact us immediately to ensure you do not miss any deadlines.
- How much is my personal injury case worth in California?
- Personal injury case values depend on many factors including severity of injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the degree of the defendant's fault. California allows recovery of both economic damages (medical bills, lost income, property damage) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life). What a claim is actually worth turns on the documented medical course and prognosis, proven lost earnings, the share of fault attributed to the claimant, and the insurance limits available to pay a judgment. Contact us at (818) 514-7680 for a free case evaluation.
- Do I need a lawyer for my personal injury case?
- While not legally required, having an experienced personal injury attorney significantly increases your compensation. Studies show that represented claimants receive 3.5 times more in settlements than unrepresented individuals. An attorney handles all negotiations with insurance companies, gathers evidence, retains experts, calculates damages, and fights for maximum compensation. Trembach Law offers free consultations so there is no risk in speaking with us.
- What should I do immediately after an accident in California?
- After an accident in California: (1) Call 911 and seek medical attention, (2) Document the scene with photos and video, (3) Exchange information with other parties, (4) Get witness contact information, (5) File a police report, (6) Do not admit fault or give recorded statements to insurance companies, (7) Keep all medical records and receipts, (8) Contact a personal injury attorney before speaking with insurance adjusters. Call Trembach Law at (818) 514-7680 for immediate guidance.
- What is comparative negligence in California?
- California follows a pure comparative negligence system under Civil Code Section 1714. This means you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the accident. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you can still recover $80,000. This makes it important to have an attorney who can minimize your share of fault and maximize your recovery.
- How long does a personal injury case take in California?
- Most personal injury cases in California settle within 6-18 months. Simple cases with clear liability may resolve in 3-6 months. Complex cases involving catastrophic injuries, multiple defendants, or litigation can take 1-3 years or more. The timeline depends on the severity of injuries, time needed for maximum medical improvement, complexity of liability issues, and whether the case goes to trial. Trembach Law works efficiently to resolve your case as quickly as possible while maximizing your compensation.
