Disclaimer
The short version of everything important, in one place.
Not yet reviewed by a lawyer
This policy has been drafted for completeness so the site is structurally finished. It must be reviewed and approved by a qualified lawyer, and the organisation details completed, before launch.
We are not a law firm
CalAccidentHelp is an informational resource and attorney-connection service. It is not a law firm, it does not practise law, and it does not provide legal advice or representation.
No attorney-client relationship
Reading this site, using the Case Check, or sending us information does not create an attorney-client relationship with us or with any attorney. Do not send confidential information expecting it to be protected by privilege.
General information only
Everything here describes how things usually work in California. Your situation may differ in ways that change the answer entirely. Law changes, and no page can be guaranteed current.
No promises about outcomes
We do not promise that an attorney will review or accept your matter, that a claim will succeed, or that any particular result is achievable. We publish no case results and no settlement figures, and any site that promises you an outcome should be treated with caution.
Not medical advice
Nothing here is medical advice. If you are injured, seek medical attention. In an emergency, contact emergency services.
Sources
We cite the statute, agency or dataset behind each statement so you can check it. Where a source could not be verified to our own standard, that is disclosed on the page.
Deadlines
Legal deadlines are strict and missing one can end a claim permanently. The deadlines described here are general and there are exceptions. Do not rely on a website to work out your own deadline.
