Personal Injury Cases We Handle in the Bay Area & California

Protecting Injury Victims in the Bay Area Since 1980

Rouda Feder Tietjen & McGuinn (RFTM) represents people who have been seriously injured, and families who have lost a loved one, in personal injury cases across the Bay Area and California. Below you'll find the types of cases we handle and how a personal injury claim works in California.

Personal injury is a complex area of law. Protecting your rights often requires the attention and oversight of a true professional with years of experience in the field. If you or your loved one has recently suffered a serious injury, speaking with a member of our team could give you the perspective you need to have peace of mind, as well as the counsel you need to move ahead.

What Is a Personal Injury Claim?

A personal injury claim seeks compensation from the person or company whose negligence caused your injury. These claims are also intended to provide a measure of compensation when such injuries lead to chronic suffering or even the loss of a loved one. Depending on the case, a claim may resolve through a settlement or go to trial.

Our team is trusted and highly rated, and we are members of the American Board of Trial Advocates, the American Association of Justice, the Consumer Attorneys of California, and the San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association.

How a Personal Injury Claim Works in California

Most personal injury claims move through the same basic steps, though every case is different.

  1. Free consultation. You meet with an attorney to discuss what happened. Bring medical records, accident reports, insurance policies, witness information, and any communication with insurance adjusters.
  2. Investigation. Your attorney determines who is liable and gathers the evidence to support your claim, which may include expert testimony.
  3. Negotiation with the insurance company. Your attorney negotiates on your behalf for a settlement that covers your medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
  4. Litigation, if needed. If the insurance company offers too little, your attorney can advise whether to take the case to court.

How long do I have to file? In California, injured people have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit, so it is important to speak with a lawyer promptly.

What if I was partly at fault? Under California's comparative negligence rule, you can still recover damages if you were partly responsible; your compensation is reduced by your share of the fault.

What Compensation Can You Recover in a Personal Injury Claim?

People injured in an accident can seek compensation for economic and non-economic damages from the at-fault party and their insurer. What you may be able to recover depends on your situation. RFTM has a long history of successes and a strong track record of impressive settlements and verdicts. When you contact our attorneys, we can discuss what you may be able to recover and how we can help you.

We work tirelessly to help our clients obtain full and fair compensation for:

  • Medical costs, including ongoing medical treatment, surgeries, medical devices, and other associated costs
  • Lost earnings and lost earning capacity. If you are disabled and no longer able to return to the same line of work, you can recover damages for wages you would have been able to earn prior to your accident.
  • Property damage, such as damage to your vehicle or other property
  • Pain and suffering, mental anguish or trauma caused by the accident. This includes loss of enjoyment of life, grief, anxiety, and other emotional distress.
