Question 1

How much does it cost to hire your firm?

Accepted Answer

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay anything unless we win your case. There are no upfront costs, no hourly fees, and no out-of-pocket expenses. Our fee is paid as a percentage of your settlement or verdict. We also offer free consultations so you can understand your rights before committing.

Question 2

What if I’m partially at fault for the accident?

Accepted Answer

Under California’s comparative negligence law, you can still recover compensation even if you were partly at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. Torem & Associates helps protect your rights and maximize recovery by managing complex fault determinations.

Question 3

How long will my personal injury case take?

Accepted Answer

The length of a personal injury case depends on factors like injury severity, fault clarity, and case complexity. Some cases resolve in a few months, while others may take a year or more—especially if they go to trial or involve ongoing treatment. We work efficiently and keep you informed every step of the way.

Question 4

What should I do immediately after an accident?

Accepted Answer

Seek medical attention first. Then, file a police report, document the scene, exchange information, collect witness contacts, and avoid admitting fault. Before speaking with insurance adjusters, contact a personal injury attorney to protect your rights.

Question 5

How much is my personal injury case worth?

Accepted Answer

Case value depends on the extent of your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, disability, and more. At Torem & Associates, we carefully evaluate all damages to pursue the maximum compensation you are entitled to.

Question 6

Do I need a lawyer to file a personal injury claim?

Accepted Answer

While you can file a claim on your own, an experienced attorney increases your chances of a fair outcome. Torem & Associates will manage communication, gather evidence, calculate damages, negotiate with insurers, and go to trial if needed.

Question 7

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in California?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, you have two years from the date of injury. Some exceptions apply, such as delayed discovery or government entities (which may have a six-month limit). Contact an attorney as soon as possible to avoid missing deadlines.

Question 8

What if I was injured in a hit-and-run accident?

Accepted Answer

If you’re injured in a hit-and-run, you may still recover compensation through your uninsured motorist coverage or by identifying other liable parties. Torem & Associates can help you navigate these claims and coordinate with law enforcement.

Question 9

Can I still file a claim if the at-fault party doesn't have insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You may be able to recover damages through your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. We’ll review all available insurance policies and legal options to help you pursue compensation.

Question 10

Will I have to go to court?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Most personal injury claims are settled out of court. However, if the insurance company doesn’t offer a fair settlement, we’re fully prepared to go to trial. Torem & Associates prepares every case with trial in mind to improve your leverage.
