Wilshire Law Firm is an award-winning, nationally recognized team that has recovered billions of dollars for injured Californians. Our attorneys investigate how your accident happened, handle every conversation with the insurance companies, and build your case for maximum recovery — all with personalized attention. There are no fees unless you get paid.
Our attorneys handle the full range of injury claims that arise across Los Angeles. These commonly include car, truck, motorcycle, and rideshare accidents, pedestrian and bicycle collisions, premises liability and product liability claims, and catastrophic injury and wrongful death matters. A legal professional can tell you which claims may apply during a free case review.
Most serious Los Angeles accidents trace back to preventable negligence in a dense, high-traffic environment. We frequently see multi-car collisions on the I-10, I-405, and U.S. Route 101, pedestrian and bicyclist crashes near transit corridors and commercial areas, rideshare crashes near airports and event venues, and premises incidents at shopping centers, hotels, and venues. Establishing who was negligent is central to your claim, and our attorneys handle that investigation for you.
Protect your health and your claim by documenting everything you can. Seek medical attention right away and keep records of your follow-up care, photograph the vehicles, hazards, and your injuries, collect witness contact information and any incident reports, and gather the insurance details for every party involved. It is best to speak with a personal injury lawyer before giving a recorded statement to any insurer.
Injured people in Los Angeles can generally recover both economic and non-economic damages. These commonly include medical expenses (current and future), lost wages and lost earning capacity, property damage, and pain and suffering. Because every case is unique, a legal professional can review your specific losses during a free case review.
In most California personal injury cases you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit (California Code of Civil Procedure §335.1). Claims against a public entity carry much shorter deadlines — generally a six-month government claim requirement before you can sue. 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 Los Angeles?
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 property repairs. Proof includes incident reports, photos, medical records, and witness statements. California's statute of limitations applies, so contact Wilshire Law Firm for a free case evaluation.

Los Angeles 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.
Los Angeles combines a dense freeway network, including the I-405, I-10, and US-101, with heavy pedestrian and rideshare traffic, which raises the risk of collisions. Many serious crashes trace back to preventable negligence such as distracted, speeding, or impaired driving.
Most injury lawsuits arising in Los Angeles are filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, with many civil matters heard at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse. Freeway collisions may also involve reports from the California Highway Patrol.
In California you generally have two years from the date of the injury to sue. When a public entity such as a city or transit agency is involved, a much shorter claim deadline usually applies, so it is important to confirm yours quickly.
California follows pure comparative negligence, so you can recover compensation reduced by your share of fault, even in a multi-vehicle collision where blame is split several ways. Your percentage of responsibility lowers your recovery but does not wipe it out.
Injuries involving a public transit vehicle or agency in Los Angeles generally require a written government claim within six months before a lawsuit can move forward. Because that deadline is short, prompt action is important when a public entity may be responsible.
