What Does Personal Injury Mean?
Personal injury simply means that you’ve been involved in an accident that affected you physically, mentally, or emotionally. It typically happens because of someone else’s carelessness, recklessness, or intentional actions. If you’ve been injured and someone else is at fault, you may be entitled to compensation if the accident happened recently. Yet, it can be hard to collect what you’re owed without the help of a lawyer who understands California personal injury law.

Work With a Lawyer
Hiring a personal injury lawyer significantly increases your chances of a fair outcome. A lawyer can:
- Outmaneuver insurance professionals whose job is to minimize accident payouts to victims.
- Prove the full value of your claim.
- Gather hidden evidence.
- Handle complex legal procedures.
Some people think they are saving money by handling their recovery themselves, but they may end up making costly mistakes. Consider hiring a lawyer to protect your rights and, when necessary, take your case before a judge and jury.
FAQs
Do Many People Experience Personal Injuries Each Year?
Yes, many people experience personal injuries each year. Car accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injuries; in just a single recent year, 2.44 million Americans were hurt in crashes across the country. Each day, about 6,500 people are hurt in car accidents. Sadly, in 2024 alone, crashes claimed the lives of 39,254 people in this country. Our firm believes this is far too many people experiencing preventable injuries or fatalities each year.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?
You only have a short period of time to file a personal injury claim with the California courts, although there are some exceptions. You can file an insurance claim to start to pursue compensation against the person responsible for your injuries, but that may not be sufficient to cover your losses. In that event, you may want to meet with a lawyer to discuss filing a court case where other compensation may be available for your accident-related losses.
What Does It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer in Fairfield?
It is challenging to provide specific information about the cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer in Fairfield, as each lawyer can determine their own costs for their clients. If you’re ready to hire a lawyer for your accident recovery, many lawyers offer a free initial consultation. That is an excellent time to discuss any questions you may have and to ask what is included in the cost of their services. Guenard & Bozarth, LLP, offers free initial case reviews.
Can I Just Handle My Personal Injury Recovery Myself?
While you technically can just handle your personal injury recovery yourself in California, it is not usually recommended to do so because most people are not equipped with the know-how to handle a complicated personal injury case. You may accidentally file incomplete legal paperwork or miss an important deadline that impacts your case.
When you work with a lawyer, they file complete paperwork on time and streamline your case to pursue the most money possible.
