At Perliss Law Firm, we fight tirelessly to secure compensation and justice for injury victims and their families. You pay nothing unless we win your case. Reach out today for a completely free consultation and understand your next steps toward the compensation you deserve.
Personal injury law protects individuals who suffer harm due to another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions. Common types of personal injury cases in Los Angeles include:
A successful claim can help you recover medical expenses and compensation for pain and suffering.
Getting timely legal representation is one of the most important decisions you can make after a serious injury. Acting quickly protects your health, strengthens your claim, and gives you an advocate while you focus on recovery.
Time is critical in personal injury cases because evidence can disappear and witnesses can become harder to locate. California also has strict filing deadlines that apply for the period of time you can file an injury claim in Los Angeles.
The sooner you contact an experienced personal injury attorney at Perliss Law Firm, the sooner you can:
Protect your rights from insurance company tactics
Secure and preserve vital evidence
Receive guidance on medical treatment and documentation
Understand the value of your case and available damages
Perliss Law Firm provides every client with over 30 years of legal experience and hundreds of cases won. Together, we will fight for the closure you deserve during this difficult time.
California law generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, but there are important nuances that make acting quickly essential. Certain claims may have even shorter deadlines, such as:
Claims against government entities
Injuries on public school property
Exceptions also apply for minors, delayed discovery of harm, or cases where the responsible party is out of state.
Acting promptly ensures you don’t miss critical deadlines and preserves vital evidence while it is still fresh. A knowledgeable attorney can calculate the exact deadline for your case, identify any exceptions, and file all necessary paperwork on time so your right to compensation is not lost.
For more information, see California Code of Civil Procedure Section 335.1.
Many injury victims unintentionally weaken their cases by making common mistakes. These include:
Giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters without legal counsel
Signing quick settlement offers before knowing the full extent of injuries
Failing to seek immediate medical care
Not preserving evidence or witness information
Posting about the accident on social media
Perliss Law Firm helps clients avoid these pitfalls by guiding them through every step of the process and handling communications on their behalf.
Each category of personal injury has unique legal elements and evidence requirements. For example:
Collect police reports, medical records, photographs, and insurance information.
Preserve evidence quickly, including driver logs, electronic logging device data, maintenance records, cargo records, and black box data. These cases often involve multiple liable parties, so early investigation is critical.
Document the scene thoroughly, including road conditions, visibility, helmet damage, and vehicle damage. Medical records are especially important to connect serious injuries directly to the crash.
Gather traffic camera footage, witness statements, crosswalk signals, and police reports. Injury documentation is essential, as pedestrians often suffer severe trauma even at lower speeds.
Document dangerous conditions with photos and incident reports, and secure maintenance records from property owners.
Collect funeral expenses, proof of financial support, and family impact statements. We know this can be a very difficult time, but whatever you can gather will help your case and give your family the closure they deserve. We're here to help in any way we can.
Compile comprehensive medical records, specialist evaluations, rehabilitation plans, and documentation of long-term or permanent impact on daily life, work ability, and future care needs.
