No Fee Unless We Win: Contingency Fee Representation For Personal Injury Cases
Most people hesitate to hire a lawyer because they think it will cost thousands upfront. Personal injury cases do not work that way.
With The Sterling Firm:
You do not pay a retainer to start.
You do not receive hourly bills while your case is pending.
Attorney fees are only paid if money is recovered for you.
This structure allows injury victims to pursue justice without carrying the financial risk alone.
What You Must Prove in a Personal Injury Case
To recover damages, the claim typically requires proof of:
Liability (the other party was responsible)
Causation (the incident caused your injuries)
Damages (the losses are real and supported by evidence)
Collectability (insurance or assets are available to satisfy recovery)
Insurance companies look for reasons to deny or reduce claims. A strong case focuses on evidence, documentation, and a clear timeline.
Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Below are common personal injury matters handled by The Sterling Firm.
Insurance groups have teams of attorneys and adjusters who begin challenging injury claims quickly. If you or a loved one is in a car accident, early evidence preservation and careful communication with insurers can be critical.
A personal injury attorney can help with fault disputes, injury documentation, and full-value settlement strategy.
Bicycle crashes often cause serious injuries because riders have little protection. If you were injured in a bicycle accident, you have the right to seek compensation from responsible drivers, companies, or property owners.
A bicycle accident case may involve traffic violations, unsafe road conditions, or dooring incidents.
Motorcycle claims are frequently undervalued by insurance carriers. Riders may also face bias about speed or risk-taking. Motorcycle cases require clear liability proof, strong medical documentation, and a damages story that reflects the real impact of the injuries.
Commercial truck accidents involve a different process than standard car accidents, including corporate insurance, safety regulations, driver logs, and maintenance records. Train accidents can involve large-scale injuries and complex liability issues.
A personal injury attorney can help identify responsible parties and pursue available coverage.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian collisions can trigger immediate medical and financial burdens. A pedestrian accident claim may involve driver negligence, crosswalk violations, distracted driving, or visibility and roadway design issues.
A lawyer can handle insurer negotiations and proof of damages.
Brain Injury
Head and brain injuries can cause long-term physical, emotional, and financial effects. Symptoms may include cognitive changes, headaches, sleep disruption, mood shifts, and reduced work capacity.
If you or a loved one suffered a brain injury after an accident, the case often requires careful medical documentation, prognosis support, and future-care planning.
Wrongful Death
When the death of a loved one was caused by another party’s negligence or wrongdoing, surviving family members may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim for financial recovery and accountability.
These matters require respectful handling and a thorough liability investigation. Wrongful death claims can also arise from nursing home injury due to the victim being elderly and also catastrophic injury cases due to the severity of the harm.
Slip and Fall
Slip and fall and trip and fall injuries often occur in stores, apartments, parking areas, and other public places. Premises liability cases typically require proof that:
A dangerous condition existed
The property owner knew or should have known about it
The hazard was not corrected or warned against
The hazard caused injury
Documentation like incident reports, photos, video, and witness accounts can be decisive.
Dog Bite
Dog bites can cause severe pain, scarring, nerve damage, and infection. Medical costs can escalate quickly, especially when bites involve children or sensitive areas of the body.
A dog bite claim may pursue compensation for medical care, scarring, and emotional trauma.
Construction Accidents
Construction accidents can injure workers and pedestrians and may involve multiple responsible parties. Depending on the facts, your options may include:
A personal injury claim against a negligent third party
A workers’ compensation claim
A combination of both, when legally appropriate
These cases often require rapid evidence preservation and coordination with medical and employment documentation. An experienced trial lawyer will also address the human biases that are associated with these types of civil claims. For more information on addressing human bias in the jury selection process, please see Jury Selection in Personal Injury Cases.
What Compensation Can Include in a Personal Injury Claim
Every case is different, but damages may include:
Economic Damages
Medical bills (past and future)
Rehabilitation and therapy
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Out-of-pocket costs related to the injury
Non-Economic Damages
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Loss of enjoyment of life
Physical impairment and disruption of daily activities
What to Do After an Injury
If you were injured, these steps can protect your health and your claim:
Seek medical evaluation and follow recommended care.
Photograph injuries and the scene if possible.
Collect witness names and contact information.
Report the incident (police report or incident report as appropriate).
Preserve evidence (video, damaged property, communications).
Avoid recorded statements and broad medical releases until you understand your rights.

Personal Injury Frequently Asked Questions
There are no upfront costs and no fee unless we win. Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis.
Deadlines depend on the type of claim and who is involved. Some cases require fast action, especially if a government entity is involved. The safest move is to get legal guidance early.
Be cautious. Adjusters may request recorded statements or broad medical authorizations. It is often better to understand your rights before giving statements or signing documents.
It is important to know the laws of your controlling jurisdiction. California generally applies comparative fault principles. Partial fault does not automatically eliminate a claim, but it can affect recovery.
Many injuries worsen over time. Prompt evaluation creates documentation and helps protect both your health and your claim.
