If the firm accepts the case, the legal team may:

• Obtain police reports and incident reports where available.
• Collect witness statements.
• Review photographs, video and other physical evidence.
• Analyze medical records and treatment plans.

Documenting Damages

To support a claim, Mova Law Group works to document the full impact of the injury, which may include:

• Past and future medical expenses.
• Rehabilitation and long-term care needs.
• Lost income and reduced earning capacity.
• Pain and suffering and other non-economic harms.

Mova Law Group handles communications and negotiations with insurance carriers on the client's behalf, with the goal of obtaining a fair settlement that reflects the full impact of the injuries.

Litigation if a Fair Settlement Is Not Reached

If a reasonable settlement cannot be achieved, the firm is prepared to pursue litigation.

The specific steps and timelines in any case can vary. Clients receive individual guidance from the firm about what to expect in their particular situation.

Comparative Negligence

• California follows a comparative negligence system.
• An injured person may still recover compensation even if they were partially at fault for an accident.
• Any compensation may be reduced based on the percentage of fault assigned to each party.

Statute of Limitations

• California law generally imposes a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims.
• This usually means a lawsuit must be filed within two years of the date of injury.
• Certain exceptions may apply, and different deadlines can exist for particular kinds of claims or defendants.

Because deadlines are critical and can be complex, injured people should contact an attorney as soon as possible to find out which time limits apply to their situation.

Purpose of Personal Injury Law

According to the firm's materials, personal injury law exists to help people who have been harmed by negligence recover compensation for losses such as:

• Medical expenses and future medical care
• Rehabilitation and long-term care needs
• Lost income and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering and other non-economic harms
• Property damage

Compensation cannot undo an accident, but it can provide resources to help an injured person move forward.
