HOW INSURANCE COMPANIES TRY TO CHEAT YOU
Watch for these common tactics:

They’ll try to minimize visitors’ value. Big Al’s response: Big Al proves injuries merit full compensation regardless of residency.

They’ll use comparative negligence tactics. Big Al’s response: His investigation proves responsibility.
4. “Your treatment was excessive.”

In hit-and-runs, they’ll avoid payment. Big Al’s response: Your Uninsured Motorist coverage covers hit-and-run accidents.
6. “This settlement is final.”
Ultimatums to force quick settlement. Big Al’s response: He negotiates for fair value and is ready to litigate.

Frequently Asked Questions for Desert Hot Springs Accident Victims
How long do I have to file a claim in California?
California’s statute of limitations gives you two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, you need to act immediately to preserve evidence, get proper medical treatment, and protect your rights with insurance companies.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
California follows comparative fault rules, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partially responsible. Your settlement will be reduced by your percentage of fault, but Big Al fights to minimize any blame assigned to you.
What if the other driver has no insurance or fled the scene?
Many Desert Hot Springs residents carry uninsured motorist coverage that can protect you in hit-and-run accidents. Big Al has extensive experience tracking down fleeing drivers and maximizing recovery through your own insurance policy when necessary.
How much does it cost to hire Attorney Big Al?
Nothing upfront. Big Al works on contingency, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless he wins your case. No hourly charges, no retainer fees, no surprise bills. If there’s no recovery, there’s no fee.
What if I can't afford medical treatment right now?
Big Al works with San Jacinto Valley doctors and medical providers who will treat you on a lien basis, meaning they get paid from your settlement. You can get the care you need without paying upfront.
Should I accept the insurance company's settlement offer?
Never accept any settlement offer without talking to Big Al first. Insurance companies typically offer 10-20% of what your case is actually worth, hoping you’ll take quick money before understanding your rights.
How long will my case take?
Most cases settle within 6-18 months, though complex cases with serious injuries may take longer. You shouldn’t settle until you reach maximum medical improvement and understand the full impact of your injuries.
Will I have to go to court?
Most cases settle out of court, but Big Al is prepared to take your case to the Superior Court of California, County of Riverside if necessary to get you full compensation. Insurance companies settle for more when they know your attorney will go to trial.
