Frequently Asked Questions

Q : What Happens if I’m Partially at Fault for the Accident?

California uses a pure comparative negligence standard for personal injury cases. If an injured party is partially to blame for the accident, the law does not bar them from recovering compensation. However, it does reduce the money they receive for damages.

For example, suppose a jury awards you $500,000 for a truck accident claim. However, the jury also states you are 30% at fault for the cause of the crash. Therefore, the amount you receive would be $350,000, which is the total award of less than 30% or $150,000.

Q : Will My Personal Injury Case Go to Trial?

Most personal injury cases settle without going to trial. Even if we file a personal injury lawsuit, there are several opportunities to settle the case before it goes to trial. At Nordean Law, we work to settle claims without filing a lawsuit because it is less costly and quicker to settle out of court.

However, our Orange County accident lawyer is a skilled litigator. If we need to file a lawsuit to protect your best interests, we are prepared to do so. Since the insurance companies know our reputation, they know we do not hesitate to go to court when necessary

Q : How Long Does a Personal Injury Lawsuit Take to Get a Settlement?

The timeline for a personal injury case depends on the facts of the case. A primary factor that determines how long it takes to settle a personal injury lawsuit is your injuries. If you settle the claim before completing your medical treatment, you might not receive all of the compensation you are entitled to receive.

A personal injury case takes about one year to settle after the injury date. If we need to file a lawsuit, it could take longer to obtain a jury verdict.
We understand you need to settle your personal injury case as quickly as possible. Our legal team works to settle your claim quickly, but we do not rush to a settlement to close a case. Instead, we want to get you the most money possible for your damages.
