Petrosian Law, PC works on a contingency fee basis — clients do not pay upfront legal fees. Attorney fees are paid only if compensation is recovered in the client's case. The contingency fee structure allows clients to obtain legal representation without worrying about paying attorney's fees at a time that needs to be spent on their physical and emotional wellbeing.

California generally follows a pure comparative fault rule. This means that even if you were partially at fault, you may still be able to recover damages, typically reduced in proportion to your degree of fault. Do not assume that partial fault bars your claim, and do not let an insurance company use it to deny your claim outright.

Depending on the specifics of your case, recoverable damages can often include medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and property damage. In some cases involving egregious conduct, punitive damages may also be available. What applies to your situation generally depends on the facts.

Many personal injury cases resolve before trial. That said, Petrosian Law, PC prepares every case with the same rigor and depth regardless — because that preparation is often what encourages insurance companies to offer fair settlements rather than roll the dice.

While you have the right to represent yourself, personal injury law is often considerably more complex than it may appear from the outside. Insurance companies, large corporations, and other entities frequently retain teams of experienced adjusters and defense attorneys focused on reducing or eliminating what they pay — and those who navigate that process without legal representation can find themselves at a significant disadvantage, whether by accepting settlements below the value of their case, missing deadlines that generally cannot be undone, or unknowingly giving up rights they might otherwise have pursued. It is also important to understand that deadlines can vary depending on who is at fault and the type of claim involved — what applies in one case may not apply in another, and the consequences of missing them can be severe. Should your matter require the filing of a lawsuit, the process tends to grow more complex: litigation is generally governed by strict procedural rules, mandatory court deadlines, discovery obligations, and legal standards that leave little margin for error. The earlier you seek guidance, the more options tend to remain available to you. For these reasons, we strongly recommend consulting with a licensed legal professional as soon as possible to protect your rights and make informed decisions about your claim.
