Common Questions

YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, WE HAVE ANSWERS.

We listen to our clients because we care about their needs. It’s why our clients trust us. Here are the questions clients frequently ask:

When you’ve been injured, you have so many things to worry about. Knowing if you have a case or not isn’t one of them. That’s why the personal injury lawyers at KM offer a free, no-obligation consultation with prospective clients. We’ll listen to your story and then together, we’ll decide what legal solutions are right for you.
Our attorneys in California help you build a case by establishing a link between someone’s negligence and your injury or damages. We review witness statements and police reports, talk to experts and examine medical records to prove your case.
If you've been in a truck accident, suffered a personal injury, received property damage or been the victim of medical malpractice in California, you may be entitled to compensation. The compensation depends on many factors, but compensation may include current and future medical expenses, lost wages, loss of income, and compensation for pain and suffering.
At KM, we treat each client as an individual, so we review each client’s situation on a case-by-case basis. We procure various personal injury areas, antitrust, medical malpractice and other civil legal matters. The team can assist you if you're dealing with the consequences of a car accident, a slip and fall injury, a boat accident, injury or damage from a defective product, a pedestrian accident, an injury on business premises, a trucking accident, wrongful death and many other issues.
This is probably the most challenging question that a lawyer in California will face. Once all the information and evidence has been gathered, it’s easier to develop an estimate of the damages you’ve received. Some factors that determine your possible compensation amount include: medical costs, your wages, property repair/replacement costs and the extent of your personal injuries. Set up a no-cost, no-obligation consultation with one of our personal injury attorneys today so we can evaluate your options together.
