Legal information
Legal disclaimer
Every page on this site works under the rules below. This page states them all in one place.
This website provides general legal information and attorney advertising. It is not legal advice or medical advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Submitting information or speaking with the intake assistant does not make you a client of any attorney unless and until an attorney agrees to represent you in writing. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or seek emergency medical care.
Attorney advertising
This website is attorney advertising. Attorneys or law firms may pay for advertising, sponsorship, or site and domain management. The site does not select, recommend, or match counsel and does not receive referral fees. The full disclosure is at /attorney-advertising.
Legal information, not legal advice
The content here describes how California personal injury matters generally work. It is not advice about your situation, because advice requires knowing your facts. Reading a page, completing a checklist, or submitting a case review is not a substitute for speaking with a licensed California attorney about your own circumstances.
No attorney-client relationship
Using this site does not make you anyone's client. Submitting a case review, speaking with the intake assistant, calling a number on the site, or attending a video follow-up does not create an attorney-client relationship. Representation begins only if and when an attorney agrees to represent you in writing.
No medical advice
Nothing on this site is medical advice, and no page can evaluate a symptom. Only a qualified medical professional who examines you can do that. If you may be experiencing a medical emergency, stop reading and get help now.
Medical emergency? Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room now. This website cannot help with emergencies.
No promises about outcomes
No result is promised or implied — not a settlement, not a case value, not a timeline, and not that any attorney will take your case. Past results in other cases say nothing reliable about yours, and this site will not estimate what a claim is worth.
Deadlines exist, vary, and are strict
California sets time limits for injury claims, and claims involving government entities can follow different procedures with shorter windows. The specific deadlines depend on the facts, which is why this site does not quote numbers: a figure that is right for one case can be wrong for another. Missing a deadline can end a claim regardless of its merits, so if timing matters to you, ask an attorney about your dates early.
How sponsored relationships are disclosed
If a single law firm sponsors a page or the site as a whole, that advertising relationship is disclosed on the sponsored page. Sponsorship does not change the editorial standards described on the about page. Questions can be sent to intake@calegalinjury.com.
