Decades of experience representing individuals and families throughout California
When someone is injured due to another’s negligence, they may have legal options. Coopers LLP has decades of experience representing individuals and families in personal injury and wrongful death matters.
Our attorneys are licensed in California and Oregon, and we maintain a bona fide office in San Francisco, California. We represent clients across the state and offer flexible consultation options so clients can focus on their recovery while learning more about their legal options.
California follows a pure comparative fault rule. This means that more than one person can share responsibility for an accident, and being partly at fault does not automatically prevent you from recovering compensation.
A SIMPLE EXAMPLE
For example, if you are found to be 20% responsible for an accident and your damages total $100,000, your recovery would generally be reduced by 20%, allowing you to recover $80,000. Unlike some states, California law does not prevent you from recovering compensation simply because you were more at fault than another party. However, any compensation awarded is generally reduced by your percentage of fault.
California law sets strict deadlines—called statutes of limitations—for filing personal injury and wrongful death claims. Missing a deadline can permanently bar your right to recover compensation.
In many cases, the clock starts on the date of injury or death, but exceptions may apply depending on the type of claim, who is involved, and when the harm was discovered.
Understanding your legal rights after an injury can feel overwhelming—especially when insurance companies move quickly to protect their interests. Coopers LLP helps clients evaluate claims, gather evidence, and pursue fair compensation.
We handle cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. Court costs and other legal expenses may be the client’s responsibility depending on the fee agreement.
