- Witness names and numbers — collected before everyone scatters.

How a participating law firm may review your situation
After you submit a free case review, your request is delivered to a participating California law firm — participating firms are paid advertisers, and each firm independently determines whether it can assist you. The firm may contact you to learn more and explain how California claims generally work. There is no cost to request a review, and submitting the form does not create an attorney-client relationship.
What information to prepare
- The date and location of what happened
- Any report or exchange of information, if you have it
- Photos of the scene, vehicles or equipment, and any injuries
- Names and contact info for any witnesses
- Records of medical treatment you have received
- Insurance or employer information, as applicable
Why quick action matters in California
California generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit (Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1), but shorter deadlines can apply — especially for claims involving a government entity, which may require a formal claim within six months. Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
Personal injury in San Diego, CA: choose the right next conversation
An accident claim or an existing lawsuit?
Explain whether you are reporting a new accident, responding to an insurer offer, or dealing with papers already filed. Identify each insurer separately rather than treating all correspondence as one claim.
Connect the issue to its location
The place of the collision, fall or other event; the report number and issuing organization; and where any lawsuit was filed.
Location reference: San Diego County. Verify the relevant office using your notice and address.
Ask before agreeing to representation
What records do you need to assess fault, insurance coverage and the treatment timeline?
Ask who will handle the matter, what work is included, how fees and expenses are calculated, and whether the firm has agreed to protect any upcoming date. A free inquiry does not establish representation.
