Common questions

Does it cost anything to check?

No. The review is free, and most accident attorneys work on contingency, which means they're paid from the settlement only if they win your case. Tofer & Associates will confirm its fee terms before you sign anything.

The insurance company already made me an offer. Is it too late?

Not necessarily, as long as you haven't signed a release. Once you sign, the claim is usually closed, so it's worth getting a second opinion first.

What if the other driver didn't have insurance?

You may still have options, such as uninsured motorist coverage on your own policy. An attorney can tell you what applies to your situation.

How long do I have to file?

California sets deadlines for injury claims, and some claims, such as those against a government agency, have much shorter ones. The sooner you check, the more options you usually have.

Who will contact me?
