Frequently Asked Questions
If you have been injured, it is normal to have questions about your rights, the legal process, and what to expect next. At Tavakoli & Ivosevic LLC, we believe clear information helps you make confident decisions.
Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive.
General Personal Injury Questions
What should I do after an accident
Seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if your injuries seem minor. Document the scene if you can and avoid speaking with insurance companies before getting legal advice.
Do I need a lawyer for my case
Not every case requires legal representation, but having a lawyer can help protect your rights and improve your chances of receiving fair compensation.
How much is my case worth
The value of a case depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost income, and the overall impact on your life.
How long do I have to file a claim
California law sets deadlines for filing personal injury claims. Acting early helps preserve evidence and strengthens your case.
Compensation and Costs
What compensation can I recover
You may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, future care, pain and suffering, and other related damages.
Do I have to pay upfront legal fees
No. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not pay unless we recover compensation for you.
How long does a case take
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the case, the severity of injuries, and whether the case is settled or goes to court.
Insurance and Liability
What if the insurance company contacts me
You are not required to provide a recorded statement without legal guidance. It is best to speak with a lawyer before responding.
What if I was partially at fault
California follows a comparative fault system, which means you may still recover compensation based on your level of responsibility.
How is fault determined
Fault is determined using evidence such as accident reports, witness statements, photos, and expert analysis.
