Why You Need a Costa Mesa Personal Injury Lawyer
In the aftermath of an accident, you probably feel uncertain about what steps to take. Hiring an experienced personal injury lawyer is critical to helping to ensure your rights are protected and that you receive fair compensation.
Protecting Your Rights from Day One
California's comparative negligence law can complicate your claim. If the insurance company argues that you share fault for the accident, your compensation could be reduced proportionately. At Kimura London & White LLP, we fight to ensure fault is accurately assessed and that you're not unfairly blamed for the actions of others.
Maximizing Your Compensation
Many accident victims underestimate the full value of their claims. Beyond medical expenses and lost wages, you may be entitled to compensation for future medical care, diminished earning capacity, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. Our attorneys carefully evaluate every aspect of your case to pursue the maximum compensation possible.
Navigating Complex Legal Processes
From filing insurance claims to negotiating settlements and, if necessary, taking your case to trial, the legal process can be daunting. Our team handles every detail, helping to ensure your case is managed efficiently and effectively.
Common Personal Injury Cases in Costa Mesa
Costa Mesa sees a wide variety of personal injury incidents. Here are some of the most common cases we handle:
Car Accidents
The intersection of major freeways, including the 405, 55, and 73, makes car accidents a frequent occurrence. Whether it's a rear-end collision during rush hour or a high-speed crash on the freeway, these accidents often result in serious injuries requiring skilled legal representation.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents
Bike-friendly trails and pedestrian-heavy areas create risks for cyclists and walkers. When drivers fail to yield or drive negligently, the resulting accidents can cause catastrophic injuries.
Slip-and-Falls
From retail establishments to restaurants and entertainment venues like The Pacific Amphitheatre, slip-and-fall accidents caused by unsafe premises are common. Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain safe conditions, and when they fail, our attorneys hold them accountable.
Truck Accidents
Commercial trucks traveling on local freeways can cause devastating accidents. These cases often involve multiple parties, including the driver, trucking company, and manufacturers, making skilled legal representation especially valuable.
Other Injury Cases
Our firm handles a wide range of personal injury claims, including dog bites, boating accidents, and wrongful death cases.

Understanding California's Personal Injury Laws
Statute of Limitations
In California, the deadline for filing a personal injury claim is two years from the date of the injury. Claims against government entities must be filed within six months of the denial. Missing these deadlines can bar you from recovering compensation, so it's critical to act quickly.
Comparative Negligence
Under California law, your compensation can be reduced if you're found partially at fault for the accident. For example, if you're 20% at fault, your award will be reduced by 20%. Our attorneys work to minimize any unfair assignment of blame.
