“From the moment I was rear-ended to when I got an ‘over-and-beyond’ settlement check, I felt protected, represented, and cared for by the firm every step of the way. Despite every question and concern, they never made me feel like I was a burden.”

Personal Injury in California
What counts as a personal injury case?
Any situation where you’re hurt because of someone else’s negligence—like car crashes, slips and falls, or dog bites—could qualify as a personal injury case.
How much does it cost to hire Cha Cha Cha Law?
We work on contingency, which means you don’t pay us unless we win for you.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In California, the statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of the injury. Some exceptions apply, so it’s best to talk to a lawyer as soon as possible.
Will I have to go to court?
Not always. Many cases settle out of court. But if a fair settlement isn’t offered, we’re ready to take your case to trial.
What should I do after a car accident in California?
The most important thing is to seek medical help if you’ve been injured. After that, exchange contact information with the other driver, document the scene, don’t admit fault, and contact an experienced car accident lawyer before you talk to your insurance company.
Do I need a lawyer for a car accident if I have insurance?
Yes. Insurance companies often offer far less than your case is worth. A dedicated car accident lawyer can protect your rights and make sure you’re not pressured into an unfair settlement.
What should I do after a slip and fall accident?
Get medical attention immediately even if you think you’re okay. Then document the scene (take photos and report the fall to a manager, who will need to write an incident report), and contact a lawyer before speaking with insurers. Acting quickly helps protect both your health and your legal rights.
Can I file a claim if I was partially at fault for a slip and fall?
Yes. California is a comparative fault state, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible. Your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault, but you won’t be disqualified entirely.
What should I do after a dog bite?
Seek medical attention immediately, even if the wound seems minor. Then report the bite to animal control and contact a lawyer. Quick action helps protect your health and your legal rights.
Is the dog owner always responsible in California?
Yes. California follows a strict liability rule, meaning the owner is responsible even if the dog had no history of aggression. This makes it easier for victims to hold negligent owners accountable.
Lemon Law in California
What vehicles are covered under California Lemon Law?
New and used vehicles under the original manufacturer’s warranty, including cars, trucks, SUVs, and some motorcycles
How many repair attempts qualify a car as a lemon?
Generally, if the manufacturer has had a “reasonable” number of tries—usually 2–4—for the same issue, or if the car’s been out of service for 30+ days, it may qualify.
What can I get if I win my lemon law case?
You may be entitled to a refund, a replacement vehicle, or a cash settlement. The manufacturer also has to pay your attorney’s fees if you win.
Does Lemon Law apply to leases or only purchases?
Both purchases and leases can qualify, as long as the vehicle was under warranty during the repair attempts.
How long do I have to file a lemon law claim?
Typically four years from when you first noticed the problem, but the sooner you act, the better.
