Frequently
Asked Questions
What type of cases does Feiz Law, P.C. handle?
We exclusively represent injured plaintiffs in personal injury matters — including car accidents, rideshare accidents, motorcycle and bicycle crashes, pedestrian injuries, commercial vehicle and trucking accidents, premises liability (slip and falls), dog bites, wrongful death, and other negligence-based injury claims.
How do I pay for a personal injury lawyer?
There are no upfront costs. We work solely on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we win — and our fee comes out of the settlement or verdict, never from your pocket.
What if I don’t have health insurance?
We regularly help clients access medical care with no out-of-pocket costs, including chiropractic treatment, physical therapy, orthopedic care, pain specialists, and imaging like MRIs. Providers are paid later from the settlement.
Will I have to go to court?
Most cases settle without ever filing a lawsuit. If litigation becomes necessary, we handle all court filings, negotiations, and proceedings — and keep you informed every step of the way.
How long will my case take?
Every case is unique, but typical timeline ranges are:
- Soft-tissue injury cases: ~4–8 months
- Moderate injury or surgical-recommendation cases: ~6–12+ months
Cases with more severe injuries or disputed liability may take longer.
What is my case worth?
Case value depends on multiple factors:
- Severity and duration of medical treatment
- Long-term impact or disability
- Lost income
- Property damage
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
We perform a detailed damages analysis once your medical treatment stabilizes.
What should I do after a car accident?
- Call 911 if injured
- Take photos of the scene and visible injuries
- Exchange insurance information
- Do not admit fault
- Get medical attention right away
- Contact Feiz Law before speaking to any insurance company
Should I talk to the insurance company?
Not before you get legal advice. Insurance adjusters aim to limit payouts and may use your statements against you. We handle all communication once retained.
How much does it cost to hire Feiz Law, P.C.?
Zero dollars upfront. We cover all case costs including investigation, medical record retrieval, expert analysis, and litigation expenses. You only pay if we recover for you.
What if the person who hit me doesn’t have insurance?
We investigate all potential coverage, including:
- Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist policy (UM/UIM)
- Household/umbrella policies
- Employer or commercial insurance if a business vehicle was involved
We fight to maximize every available source of compensation.
What makes Feiz Law different from other firms?
- Direct access to your attorney — no being passed off to an assistant
- Strategic negotiation backed by real litigation experience
- We move quickly to maximize case value while preventing delay
- We take a personal approach, understanding the financial pressure injuries create and eliminating stress for our clients
Do you handle wrongful death and minors’ claims?
Yes. We have experience with:
- Wrongful death claims for families who lose a loved one due to negligence
- Minor’s Compromises requiring court approval to protect a child’s settlement funds
Do I still have a case if the accident was partly my fault?
Yes. California is a comparative negligence state — meaning even if you are partially at fault, you can still recover damages. Your compensation is simply reduced by your percentage of fault.
What if I didn’t feel pain at the scene, but now I’m injured?
Adrenaline often delays symptoms. Many clients do not feel pain until hours or days later. You should still seek medical attention immediately and contact us — delays can hurt your claim.
How do property damage claims work?
We help with:
- Repair scheduling and rental car
- Total loss valuation disputes
Diminished value claimsInsurance companies try to rush or underpay — we make sure the full value is accounted for.
Can I post on social media about my accident?
We strongly recommend no social media about your injuries or activities. Insurance companies monitor posts and may use them to minimize your injuries.
What if the police report is wrong?
It’s common for reports to contain incomplete or inaccurate info. We gather:
- Witness statements
- Surveillance footage
- Vehicle data
Scene investigationA bad police report doesn’t kill your case.
Will my medical bills be paid during the case?
Yes — bills can be:
- Paid by your med-pay coverage (if available)
- Deferred by lien doctors
- Covered by your health insurance
We coordinate everything so your treatment continues with no stress.
Can I choose my own doctors?
Absolutely. You can use your own doctors or we can connect you with trusted providers who specialize in accident trauma injuries and accept liens.
What if I was a passenger in a rideshare (Uber/Lyft)?
Rideshare companies carry $1M liability coverage in most cases. We handle all claims involving:
- Passenger injuries
- Rideshare drivers hit by others
- Pedestrians struck by rideshare vehicles
How often will I receive case updates?
Our clients receive regular proactive updates throughout treatment and negotiation — and you can call or text anytime for immediate answers.
Do I need an attorney if the insurance company already made an offer?
Yes. Early offers are typically 10–20% of true case value. Once we are involved, offers typically increase significantly once full damages are documented.
What if I don’t want to go to a chiropractor?
Treatment is based on your comfort and needs — we arrange orthopedic, neurological, or physical therapy alternatives tailored to your injuries.
How do liens and medical balances work after the case?
We negotiate your medical balances down, so more of the settlement goes to you, not providers.
Can I switch attorneys to Feiz Law if I already hired someone else?
Yes. If another lawyer isn’t communicating or moving your case forward, you can transfer your case:
- No fee penalties to you
- We handle the entire transition
Your recovery shouldn’t suffer because of poor representation.
