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.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the symptoms of whiplash after a car accident in Los Angeles?
- Whiplash symptoms typically appear within 24-72 hours after a car accident and include neck pain and stiffness, headaches starting at the base of the skull, dizziness, blurred vision, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, memory problems, ringing in ears, and shoulder or upper back pain. Some victims experience chronic symptoms lasting months or years.
- How much is a whiplash injury claim worth in California?
- Case value is fact-specific and cannot be estimated from a range: it depends on the evidence of liability, the documented treatment and prognosis, provable economic loss, and the limits of the available insurance. Minor whiplash with quick recovery may settle for $10,000-$25,000. Moderate cases requiring physical therapy average $25,000-$50,000. Severe whiplash with chronic pain, herniated discs, or permanent damage can exceed $100,000 to $500,000.
- How long do I have to file a whiplash injury claim in California?
- California law gives you 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit for whiplash. However, evidence disappears and memories fade over time. Contact our Los Angeles whiplash injury lawyers as soon as possible after your accident to preserve your claim.
- Can I get compensation for whiplash if symptoms appeared days later?
- Yes. Delayed whiplash symptoms are medically documented and common. Insurance companies may dispute delayed symptoms, but our LA whiplash lawyers know how to prove causation. We work with medical experts who can establish the connection between your accident and delayed symptom onset.
- Do I need an MRI to prove whiplash injury?
- While X-rays often appear normal with whiplash, MRIs can reveal soft tissue damage, disc bulges, and ligament injuries that support your claim. Our Los Angeles attorneys work with medical providers who understand the importance of proper diagnostic imaging for whiplash cases.
- What treatment do whiplash victims typically need?
- Whiplash treatment often includes rest and ice initially, pain medication, physical therapy, chiropractic care, massage therapy, and in severe cases, injections or surgery. Treatment duration ranges from weeks to months. Our LA whiplash attorneys ensure all medical costs are included in your claim.
- Will insurance pay for my whiplash injury treatment?
- The at-fault driver's insurance should cover your medical treatment, but insurers often undervalue or deny whiplash claims. They may argue symptoms are exaggerated or pre-existing. Our Los Angeles whiplash injury lawyers fight insurance companies to ensure you receive full compensation for all treatment.
- What if my whiplash becomes chronic or permanent?
- Chronic whiplash affecting you for more than 6 months significantly increases your claim value. You may be entitled to compensation for future medical care, ongoing pain management, lost earning capacity, and permanent impairment. Our LA attorneys work with medical experts to document long-term prognosis and maximize recovery.
