How to Choose the Right Personal Injury Attorney in California

You Don’t Want Just Any Lawyer—You Need the Best

Choosing the right personal injury attorney is like choosing a surgeon. When it matters most, you need someone who’s an expert. Someone who’s been there, seen it all, and knows how to win. You’re not just looking for legal advice—you’re looking for someone to fight for you. The stakes are high, and the right attorney could mean the difference between walking away with a fair settlement and getting shortchanged.

Start with Experience: The Real Difference Makers

Personal injury law isn’t for rookies. You need an attorney with years of experience. And not just any experience—personal injury experience. Someone who’s fought—and won—cases just like yours. California personal injury law is governed by key statutes like California Civil Code §1714, which deals with negligence, and California Code of Civil Procedure §377.60, which covers wrongful death. An experienced attorney will know these laws inside and out.

Take California Attorney Group’s $5.2 million win in Qaadir v. Figueroa. The court upheld a significant damages award, despite objections about the admissibility of unpaid medical bills. This isn’t the kind of win you get without deep expertise in California’s personal injury law.

Specialization in Personal Injury Law

Let’s make this clear: You wouldn’t hire a general physician to perform brain surgery, right? The same rule applies when choosing a lawyer. Not all lawyers are created equal. You want someone who specializes in personal injury law—someone who’s handled everything from slip-and-fall cases to major car accidents. When your future is on the line, you need someone who knows the game inside out.

In Qaadir v. Figueroa, California Attorney Group fought to include unpaid medical bills as admissible evidence—a move that proved crucial in securing a multimillion-dollar award. Only a team specializing in personal injury law knows how to use these specific nuances to their advantage.

Reputation Is Everything—Check Reviews and Testimonials

Don’t just take the attorney’s word for it—check what their past clients are saying. Reviews matter. A strong reputation for winning big and treating clients with respect can tell you everything you need to know. At California Attorney Group, the results speak for themselves.

Take it from Bryan L., a past client of Bob Khakshooy, the firm’s founder:
"I was involved in an accident last year and came across Bob Khakshooy's law firm thanks to the recommendation of a friend. Without a doubt, one of the best personal injury attorneys in all of LA! Bob and his team were very attentive, caring, and informative. They went above and beyond for me and made sure I got the absolute most for my settlement. Anyone who is looking for a personal injury attorney that will provide proper representation and go the extra mile for their valued clients, California Attorney Group is the way to go!"

This kind of review isn’t just good for business—it’s proof that California Attorney Group knows how to take care of their clients and win big.

Past Verdicts and Settlements—Proof of Winning

When choosing an attorney, don’t just look at promises. Look at results. Past verdicts and settlements tell the story. A great attorney doesn’t just settle for a quick payout—they fight for every dollar you deserve. Take California Attorney Group’s $3.5 million settlement for a trip-and-fall case. Their client suffered severe injuries while delivering hay, and the team fought tooth and nail to secure one of the largest settlements in a case of its kind.

And then there’s their $3 million slip-and-fall victory in a Los Angeles supermarket. A 57-year-old woman slipped in a produce aisle and sustained life-altering injuries. The team at California Attorney Group built a rock-solid case proving the store’s negligence. The result? A $3 million settlement that changed her life.

These wins aren’t just numbers—they’re stories of lives restored, bills paid, and justice served.

Local Knowledge: The California Advantage

California isn’t like any other state. Its personal injury laws are unique, and you need an attorney who understands local statutes. An attorney unfamiliar with California’s laws might miss key opportunities to boost your compensation. Take Proposition 213, for instance. If you were uninsured during an accident, this law limits your ability to recover damages. But a savvy attorney knows how to navigate around these limitations.

And then there’s California Civil Code §3333.4, which restricts the recovery of non-economic damages for uninsured drivers. A local expert knows how to work within these confines, ensuring you still get the best possible result.

Communication: Don’t Be Left in the Dark

Here’s a hard truth: Not all attorneys are great at keeping their clients informed. But you need someone who will answer your calls, respond to your emails, and give you regular updates on your case. At California Attorney Group, clients are kept in the loop from start to finish.

In fact, their dedication to client communication was a major factor in the success of their trip-and-fall settlement. The legal team made sure their client understood every step of the process, ensuring no surprises along the way. It’s not just about winning—it’s about making sure you feel supported throughout the journey.

Strategy for Maximizing Your Compensation

The right attorney will have one goal: maximizing your compensation. This means calculating every penny you’re owed, from medical bills and lost wages to pain and suffering. A great attorney knows how to work within California’s legal framework to get you the maximum payout.

Take California Code of Civil Procedure §998, for example. This law allows for strategic settlement offers that shift the burden of court costs and attorney fees if the other side rejects a reasonable offer. An experienced attorney uses tools like this to turn the tables on insurance companies and push for higher settlements.

And let’s not forget about California Civil Code §3294, which allows for punitive damages in cases where the defendant acted with malice. A good attorney knows when to pursue these damages to push a multi-million-dollar case over the edge.
