What you can recover
Medical bills (past and future), chiropractic and physical therapy, lost wages and earning capacity, property damage, and pain and suffering. California is a pure comparative fault state, so even if you were partly at fault, you can still recover.
Uninsured and underinsured drivers
If the at-fault driver has no insurance or too little, your own UM/UIM coverage may pay. Insurers treat you like an adversary even under your own policy — we make them honor it.
Why treatment matters
We work with a network of top California chiropractors and physicians who treat on a lien, so you can get care now and pay when the case resolves.
What to do after a car accidents injury
- Get medical care right away — and keep every appointment. Gaps in treatment are the first thing an insurer attacks.
- Photograph everything: the scene, vehicles or hazard, your injuries, and any visible cameras.
- Get names and numbers of witnesses before they disappear.
- Don't give a recorded statement to the other side's insurance company.
- Call Eisner Law before you sign anything or accept a quick offer.
Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
Generally two years from the date of injury (Code of Civil Procedure §335.1). If a city, county, or state agency is involved, you usually have only six months to file a government claim. Don't wait — evidence disappears fast.
What if I was partly at fault?
California follows pure comparative negligence. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, but it isn't eliminated.
Can I see a chiropractor after a car accident without paying out of pocket?
Often yes. Many of the providers we work with treat on a lien, meaning they're paid from the settlement.
How much does it cost to hire Eisner Law?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee — we only get paid if we recover money for you. Consultations are free.
