Personal Injury FAQ

Get Answers to Your Personal Injury Questions
  • Q:Do I have a case?

    A:Personal injury claims arise from negligence. If you have suffered physical, emotional, psychological, or financial harm due to another’s recklessness or carelessness, you may have grounds to file a personal injury claim. Contact our Los Angeles personal injury attorneys at Greene Broillet & Wheeler to discuss a potential case.

  • Q:What is my case worth?

    A:The value of your personal injury case is determined by assessing the damages you incurred as a result of someone else's negligence. There is no predetermined value, and there are no limits on the amount of compensation you can recover; all case values will vary. Some of the factors that may be used to calculate damages include your lifestyle and how it’s been affected by the injuries, whether or not you share fault for the accident, and whether or not you have insurance coverage.

  • Q:What can I be compensated for?

    A:In California, personal injury cases cover economic losses, non-economic losses, and punitive damages. This may include compensation for past and future medical expenses related to your injury, costs for assistance with your daily life, property loss, salary or wage loss, loss of consortium, pain and suffering, and more.

  • Q:How long do I have to file a claim?

    A:In California, you have two years to file an injury claim and three years to file a property damage claim.

  • Q:How much will it cost to hire your firm?

    A:Your initial consultation with Greene Broillet & Wheeler is always free of charge. We also work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we advance the cost of proving your case, and you do not pay any legal fees unless we are successful in recovering compensation on your behalf.

  • Q:Should I accept a settlement offer?

    A:You are not obligated to accept a settlement offer from the other party's insurance company, especially their initial offer. You always have the option to negotiate a higher amount or take your case to trial, which is something your Los Angeles personal injury lawyer can advise you on. If you have already received a settlement offer from the insurance company, it would be wise to discuss your options with an attorney before accepting.

  • Q:Are you prepared to take my case to trial?

    A:At Greene Broillet & Wheeler, we are always prepared to take a case to trial. Since 1970, we’ve developed a reputation for taking on the toughest cases in personal injury law. We are not afraid to take on major corporations and businesses, and have obtained many multi-million-dollar verdicts for clients. In fact, we’ve obtained more million-dollar verdicts and settlements than any other law firm in California. We use state-of-the-art resources to do what other injury firms cannot. We have a secure evidence warehouse, where our in-house experts can perform demonstrations for juries and judges to strike deeper connections to our cases, and we also conduct mock trials and focus groups to prepare for trial.

  • Q:Why should I hire your firm?

    A:Why are we the right firm to handle your case? We offer free initial consultations and are available 24/7. We work on contingency, meaning you don’t pay us unless we win your case. We have taken on major corporations and businesses, and we are not afraid of complex cases. We have a full-time investigator on staff to uncover and develop important evidence for cases. We work with a vast network of credible experts who can prove causation and substantiate damages that our clients may be entitled to. We’ve obtained more million-dollar verdicts and settlements than any other law firm in California history. And, other law firms come to us for insight on complex cases.
