Why You Need a Skilled Pasadena Injury Lawyer
After an accident, it can be easy to think that an insurance company will come through for you. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. Insurance companies are usually on their own side instead of yours, meaning they typically care more about their bottom line than ensuring you are properly compensated for your injuries. A skilled Pasadena injury attorney from The Law Offices of Paul P. Cheng & Associates can help you recover the compensation you deserve and need to cover your medical expenses and move on with your life.
Additionally, a lawyer can:
- Navigate you through the legal process, ensuring all the correct procedures are followed along the way
- Thoroughly investigate your case so no important information or evidence is left behind
- Determine who the correct liable parties are
- Negotiate with the insurance companies on your behalf
- Represent you at trial, if necessary

Statute of Limitations for Pasadena Personal Injury Claims
According to California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years. The statute of limitations is a law imposed on a state level that sets a time limit on how long an injury victim has to file a personal injury claim. There are some exceptions that can change this two-year time limit, but in general, once the statute of limitations is up, you will no longer be able to file a claim or recover compensation. Therefore, it is important to speak to an experienced attorney about your case as soon as you can.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Should I Do Immediately After a Personal Injury in Pasadena?
Immediately following a personal injury, it is crucial to prioritize your health and safety. Seek medical attention, even if your injuries seem minor, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent. After attending to your health, document everything related to the incident. This includes gathering contact information of witnesses, taking photographs of the scene, and ensuring that an official report is filed if appropriate, such as a police report.
It is also advisable to refrain from making any official statements to insurance companies before consulting with a personal injury attorney. This precaution helps protect your rights and ensure your case is not inadvertently compromised. Our team at Law Offices of Paul P. Cheng & Associates is ready to offer guidance and help navigate the steps following an injury.
How Are Settlements Typically Handled in Pasadena?
In Pasadena, the settlement process for personal injury cases typically involves negotiation with the at-fault party's insurance company. This process is guided by the assessment of damages such as medical expenses, loss of income, and emotional distress. It is common for initial settlement offers to be lower than what is fair or deserved. Therefore, having knowledgeable legal representation is crucial.
At Law Offices of Paul P. Cheng & Associates, we skillfully negotiate with insurers to pursue a settlement that truly reflects the extent of your injuries and the impact on your life. Should negotiations not result in a fair settlement, we are prepared to advance to litigation, advocating fiercely for your rights in court.
What Factors Affect My Personal Injury Claim?
Several factors can influence the outcome of a personal injury claim in Pasadena. These include the extent of your injuries, the clarity of evidence, and the determination of liability. The insurance policies involved and the defendant's actions post-accident are also significant.
Our firm meticulously evaluates each of these factors to construct a robust case strategy. By understanding these dynamics, we improve the accuracy of the claims process and work towards achieving the most favorable outcome possible for our clients.
