California Personal Injury Attorney

A major injury can disrupt a person’s life in immeasurable ways. They often seem to happen immediately, without warning. And suddenly, the injured person is left to deal with intense pain, wondering how to pay medical bills, how to be productive at work, and, in many cases, how to cope with the trauma they’ve suffered.

At the Shamsi Law Firm, we believe that when another party is responsible for our client’s injury, it is only right that they, or their insurance company, compensate the victim in order to bring some semblance of normalcy back to the victim’s life.

The Shamsi Law Firm has helped many Californians fight for the compensation that they deserve. Sometimes, the responsible party refuses to adequately compensate the victim for their losses. Frequently, insurance companies do their best to minimize the amount they’ll pay the victim.

The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim in California is two years, but time is often of the essence, and the sooner you can move forward with your case, the better. In the case of vehicle collisions, for example, a case can be won or lost by the actions taken in the days following the incident. When facing major medical bills and intimidating insurance companies, remember that you don’t have to go it alone.
