Understanding Your Irvine Personal Injury Case
Explore essential resources on your rights, your options, and what to expect — everything you need to navigate the legal process, all in one place.
Wilshire Law Firm is an award-winning, nationally recognized team that has represented thousands of injured Californians. Our attorneys investigate your accident, preserve the evidence, handle every conversation with the insurance companies, and build your case for maximum recovery — with personalized attention from a legal professional. There are no fees unless you get paid.
We represent people hurt in a wide range of Irvine accidents caused by someone else's negligence. These commonly include vehicle collisions on I-5, I-405, and State Route 133, truck accidents involving commercial traffic, motorcycle and lane-splitting crashes, rideshare (Uber and Lyft) accidents, pedestrian and bicycle injuries, premises liability incidents at retail centers and office complexes, and catastrophic injuries such as spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injury, and severe burns.
Protect your health and your claim by acting quickly. Seek medical treatment right away so your injuries are documented, preserve evidence with photos, witness contacts, and the police report, and avoid giving a recorded statement to any insurer before speaking with a lawyer. In California, vehicle accidents involving injury or property damage over $1,000 must be reported to the DMV within 10 days. A legal professional can review your next steps during a free case review.
Injured people in California can generally recover both economic and non-economic damages. Economic losses commonly include medical expenses (current and future), lost income and lost earning capacity, property damage, and out-of-pocket costs. Non-economic damages cover pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and disfigurement. Because every case is unique, a legal professional can review your losses during a free case review.
In most California personal injury cases you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit (California Code of Civil Procedure §335.1). Claims against a government entity have much shorter deadlines — generally a six-month administrative filing deadline. Because missing a deadline can end your case, it's best to speak with a legal professional early.

How Do I Know If I Have a Personal Injury Claim in Irvine?
Three factors determine whether you have a valid personal injury claim — fault, damages, and proof. Fault means another party's negligence caused your accident. Damages are your losses, such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Proof includes police reports, photos, medical records, and witness statements. California's two-year statute of limitations generally applies, so contact Wilshire Law Firm for a free case review with a legal professional.

Irvine Personal Injury FAQs
Our Most Frequently Asked Questions
We've answered the most common ones below. If yours isn't here, call us — we're available 24/7.
Irvine's wide master-planned arterials and busy commuter routes near its corporate campuses and UC Irvine see vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle collisions. When a driver or property owner acts negligently, an injured person may be entitled to compensation.
Personal injury lawsuits from Irvine are generally filed in the Orange County Superior Court, with civil matters handled in Santa Ana. Many claims are resolved through insurance negotiation before litigation.
If an at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may help pay for your injuries, subject to your policy terms and California insurance law. Reviewing your policy early helps you understand what coverage applies.
California generally provides two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Certain claims, such as those against public entities, follow shorter deadlines, and exceptions can apply, so confirm your timeline early.
