Fighting for Your Rights & Recovery After an Injury

Everything You Need to Know About Personal Injuries

Personal injuries can happen anywhere—on the road, at work, or even in public spaces. Whether you’ve been injured in a car accident, slip-and-fall, or workplace incident, the physical, emotional, and financial toll can be overwhelming. At The Soliman Firm, we understand the challenges you’re facing. Our team will guide you through the legal process, ensuring you receive the compensation you need to recover and move forward.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?

In California, personal injury victims have two years from the date of the injury to file a claim. However, it’s important to act quickly to preserve evidence and build a strong case.

If you are mobile and able to fully assess the situation, here are seven things you must do following a car accident:

1. Ensure Safety First

Move to a safe location if possible. Seek medical attention immediately if you’re seriously injured.

2. Document the Scene

Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any property damage. Gather contact information from witnesses.

3. Seek Medical Attention

Even if your injuries seem minor, see a doctor as soon as possible. A medical record will strengthen your claim

4. Report the Incident

Notify the appropriate authorities (e.g., police, employer, or property owner). File an incident report if applicable.

Do not apologize or make statements that could be interpreted as admitting fault.
