Getting Started

Getting Started

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

There is no attorney's fee unless we recover compensation for you. We work on a contingency basis for injury cases. Case costs and expenses are explained in your written fee agreement before we move forward.

Do you offer a free consultation?

Yes. The consultation is free and confidential. You can call 833-SIM-2WIN or submit a case review and Brian will follow up with you directly.

Will I work directly with an attorney?

Yes. At Sim Law Offices, PC, you work directly with Brian A. Sim, not a call-center case manager. You stay informed from the first call through resolution.

What areas do you serve?

We serve Orange County and Southern California, with offices in Santa Ana and Garden Grove. This includes communities like Irvine, Huntington Beach, Anaheim, and the surrounding areas.

Your Case

Your Case

How much is my case worth?

Every case is different and depends on its own facts. Value generally reflects your medical care, lost income, the seriousness of your injuries, and other losses. We can give you a clearer picture after reviewing the details.

How long will my case take?

It depends on the complexity of the case and your medical treatment. Some cases settle in months, others take longer if litigation is needed. We keep you informed throughout.

What if I was partially at fault?

California allows you to recover even if you share some fault, though it may reduce the amount. We can explain how this applies to your situation.

Do I have to go to court?

Many cases settle without a trial. If the insurance company will not offer a fair amount, we are prepared to litigate. We will explain your options at each step.

Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?

Talk to an attorney before signing anything. A first offer is often far below the full value of your claim, and once you accept, you usually cannot ask for more later.

Deadlines & Process

Deadlines & Process

How long do I have to file a claim in California?

California has a statute of limitations that limits how long you have to file. Deadlines can be shorter in certain situations, so it is best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

What should I do right after an accident?

Get medical care, document the scene and your injuries, avoid giving recorded statements to the other insurer, and talk to an attorney before signing anything.

What if the other driver was uninsured?

You may still have options through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. We can review your policy and explain how it applies.

Why should I act quickly?

Evidence fades, vehicles get repaired, and witnesses forget. Acting early gives your attorney the best chance to build a strong case, and helps you meet filing deadlines.

Fees & Working Together

Fees & Working Together

What does no attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation for you mean?
