Why Choose Us
No recovery, no attorney fee
The initial assessment is free, and eligible matters are handled on a contingency basis. If there is no recovery, no attorney fee is charged. The percentage is stated in writing beforehand.
We deal with the adjuster
Our firm handles insurer calls, recorded statements, and settlement offers, reducing the risk that an improper statement will affect your recovery.
Medical and other records organized
We assemble police reports, medical records, and proof of lost income as the foundation of your claim.
Bilingual and nationwide
We communicate in English or Mandarin. Out-of-state matters can be handled by phone and email without an office visit.
What to Do After an Accident
Seek medical care
Even if you feel reasonably well at first, obtain care promptly. Treatment records are fundamental to a claim.
Preserve evidence
Keep scene photographs, the other party’s insurance information, the report number, and repair and medical bills.
Do not sign a settlement yet
Do not sign a release or give a recorded statement before the full extent of the injury is known. A signed agreement is difficult to change.
Call for an assessment
Tell us what happened and describe your injuries. We assess potential damages and applicable deadlines.

Do I have to pay attorney fees upfront?
No. The initial assessment is free and eligible matters are handled on a contingency basis: if there is no recovery, there is no attorney fee.
I am not in California. Can you still represent me?
Yes. We take matters in every state, and communication, documents, and signing can be handled remotely. Where a local court appearance is genuinely required, we work with an attorney licensed in that state.
How long do I have to bring a claim?
The deadline follows the law of the state where the accident happened, most often two to three years. In California it is generally two years, and shorter when a government entity is involved.
What if the other driver has no insurance?
You may be able to claim under the uninsured or underinsured motorist provisions of your own policy. We review the policy first.
I was partly at fault. Can I still claim?
Most states apply comparative fault and reduce the recovery by your share of responsibility. In California, you may still recover even if you were partly at fault.
Can we communicate in Chinese or English?
Yes, in either. You will not need a separate interpreter.
What should I do first after a car accident?
Once everyone is safe, call the police and get the report number, photograph the scene, the vehicle damage, the other party's plate and insurance card, seek medical care promptly, and keep every record. Do not make any written or recorded admission of fault at the scene.
Should I accept the insurer's first offer?
Usually not. A first offer typically arrives before the full medical costs and lost income are known, and once you sign a release you cannot ask for more. Let an attorney assess the treatment course and total losses first.
I am a student or on a work visa. Will a claim affect my immigration status?
An ordinary car accident injury claim is a civil matter and does not itself affect a visa or green card application. Status details and medical benefits do need careful handling in the paperwork. Because we practice both immigration and personal injury, we watch both sides during the claim.
