Two questions decide almost every claim.
Liability and damages. If someone else was at fault and you were actually hurt, you have a case worth looking at. We tell you honestly on the first call.
1Liability — was someone else at fault?
Police reports, traffic camera footage, skid marks and witness memory all decay fast. The sooner someone preserves them, the stronger the claim.
- Police report obtained and reviewed
- Scene photographs and camera footage preserved
- Witnesses contacted while memory is fresh
- Vehicle damage documented before repair
2Damages — how badly were you hurt?
A claim is worth what you can prove. Consistent treatment records are the difference between a token offer and full value.
- Medical records from every provider
- Lost wages and time off documented
- Future care costs estimated by specialists
- Pain and daily impact recorded properly
More than the repair bill.
Most people think a claim covers the car and the emergency room. It covers considerably more than that, and the pieces people forget are often the largest.
Medical bills, past and future
Everything already billed, plus the surgery or therapy a doctor says you will still need.
Lost income and lost earning capacity
Wages while you were out, and the difference if you can no longer do the job you used to do.
Pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment
The part the insurer values at as close to zero as you will let them.
Property damage and out-of-pocket costs
Repair or total value, rental car, prescriptions, mileage to appointments.
You pay nothing unless we win.
No retainer, no hourly rate, no invoice while the case is open. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery, and if there is no recovery there is no fee.

Evidence disappears and deadlines run.
Three clocks start the moment a crash happens, and two of them are short.
The insurer calls within days
Usually before anyone knows how badly you are hurt, and often asking for a recorded statement. Do not give one.
Evidence decays within weeks
Camera footage is routinely overwritten in 14 to 30 days. Vehicles get repaired or scrapped. Witnesses move.
The statute of limitations ends the claim
In California most injury claims expire two years from the date of injury, and claims against public entities in six months.
The attorney you meet is the attorney who handles your case.
Marisol Vega has recovered more than $40 million for injured clients and takes every call personally.
Straight answers.
Honestly, nobody can tell you on day one — it depends on how your injuries resolve. Anyone who quotes a number before you have finished treating is guessing.
Most cases settle without a trial. We prepare every case as though it will be tried, which is a large part of why they settle well.
California reduces your recovery by your share of fault rather than barring it. Being partly at fault does not end a claim.
Generally two years from the injury, but only six months for claims against a public entity. Those deadlines are strict.
