Pricing & attorney fees in Los Angeles

Personal injury representation in Los Angeles is almost always handled on a contingency fee — you pay nothing unless your attorney recovers compensation.

Initial consultation: Free
Contingency fee: typically 33⅓% pre-suit, 40% if litigation is filed
Case costs (filing, expert witnesses, medical record retrieval): reimbursed from the settlement
No upfront cost to start your Los Angeles injury claim

Always request a written fee agreement before signing. CA bar rules require fee transparency.

CA statute of limitations

Most CA personal injury claims must be filed within a strict window — often 2 to 3 years from the date of injury. Government and medical-malpractice claims can have shorter deadlines. Speaking with a Los Angeles attorney early preserves your right to recover.

Demand Genie cut our demand drafting time from 6 hours to 18 minutes — and our average settlement went up 22%. — Los Angeles Plaintiff Firm Partner
