How We Work With Our Clients
1 Initiate Your Case
Initiate your case by speaking with our intake specialist or one of our trial attorneys about your case
2 Get You Healthy
Immediately start treating with all the medical providers necessary to get you healthy again
3 Address Your Property Damage Need
Immediately address your property damage needs. This means to either get your car fixed as soon as possible or if your car is totaled, obtain the fair market value for your car. During the process, we will work on immediately obtaining a rental car for you while your car is being fixed or while we are obtaining a total loss check for your car.
4 Investigate
If necessary, any and all investigation to be done on your matter will be commenced immediately including, but not limited to, obtaining video footage surveillance of the incident, securing any witness statements, and collecting any other tangible evidence to support your case.
5 Collect All of the Patient Evidence
After you are finished treating with all of the necessary medical providers you need, we will begin the process of collecting all of the pertinent evidence of your case (i.e. medical records and bills, loss of earnings documents, etc.)
6 Draft a Settlement Demand Letter
Once all of the needed evidence is collected for your case, we will begin to draft a settlement demand letter. Your demand letter is a summary of your case, which will detail all the facts of the incident, the acts of negligence committed by the defendants, the property damage you incurred, your loss of earnings, your loss of future loss of earning capacity, your injuries, your medical treatment, the medical bills you incurred, any future medical treatment you may need, any future medical bills you may incur, the general damages (i.e. pain and suffering, emotional distress, interference with daily life activities, etc.).
7 Negotiating With the Insurance Companies
Once your demand letter has been reviewed by the appropriate insurance companies, we will begin negotiating with the insurance companies’ adjusters to obtain the absolute maximum offer possible from them.
8 Settlement Release
Once you agree to the settlement, the insurance company will draft a Settlement Release which will be forwarded to you for your signature.
9 Settlement Check
Once we send back the signed Settlement Release to the appropriate insurance companies, they will issue and send to our office your Settlement Check, which we will promptly deposited in the J&Y Law Client Trust Account.
10 Settling Medical Liens
Our office will then begin the process of negotiating all the medical liens on your case, including any liens with Medicare or Medi-Cal. We will settle your liens for the lowest amounts possible to ensure that we obtain for you the absolute highest net settlement.
11 Settlement Distribution
After all liens have been satisfied, a Settlement Distribution sheet will be presented to you which will outline all the payments that are to be made from your settlement including all payees. Once this is reviewed and signed by you, this officially closes out your case.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do you charge?
Our firm is a contingency fee-based practice which means that our clients pay no attorneys’ fees unless and until we recover for them. No recovery, No Charge. We even offer a free consultation so you can learn more about the process and how we can help you get compensation for your injuries.
What’s my case worth?
At J&Y, we strive to be honest with our clients about all aspects of their claims. At the outset of any claim, it is impossible to determine the value of one’s case given the number of unknown variables. Even giving an estimate wouldn’t be honest and truthful. However, as the claim progresses, we will be able to better evaluate the value of your claim as certain unknowns become known. The value of your personal injury lawsuit will depend on the details of how you received the injuries, the extent of your injuries, the ability to prove your injuries and the extent of insurance company negotiation. Please contact us for a free consultation to discuss your case in detail.
Should I only hire an attorney if I want to or need to file a lawsuit?
Absolutely not. The first thing that’s done after an accident is that a claim is filed with the involved insurance companies. It is very important for you to hire an attorney as soon as possible after your accident to make sure you preserve your rights and not to do anything that would be detrimental to your claim. By having an experienced personal injury attorney on your side, you’ll greatly increase the chances of reaching a settlement without having to file a lawsuit.
What types of compensation am I entitled to as a result of my personal injury?
You may receive compensation for past and future medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of earnings, property damage, and for other expenses you incurred. In the case of wrongful death, the family may receive an amount to cover the loss of future income as well as loss of companionship. As part of our service, we will discuss in detail an amount of compensation that you deserve and that we will fight for to obtain.
Do personal injury cases have to go to court?
No, they do not. Usually, personal injury cases can be settled out of court. However, our firm is well prepared to take a negligent person or company to court if they do not give our client the amount that we feel our client is entitled to.
What is personal injury?
There is no quick answer to these questions. Cases can take anywhere from a few months to years, depending on the case and the parties involved. Our firm is dedicated to your case and will take the time necessary to ensure that you receive all that you deserve, even if it does take years. We will take care of as much of the process as possible, so you don’t have to lose valuable time and can focus on your medical treatment and recovering.
How long will it take to recover damages? How long will the case take?
Many insurance companies have a base equation which takes into account your accident circumstances. This initial amount is usually insufficient. Thus, victims should not seek to close their case too quickly, but consult a personal injury lawyer to receive a fair offer. At J&Y, we make it our priority to ensure that the insurance companies treat you fairly, that they not undervalue your case, and that you will ultimately receive a favorable settlement.
How does my insurance company calculate an initial offer?
Personal injury is defined as an accident causing bodily injury that is caused by another person’s negligence. Personal injuries may result from a range of accidents. For instance, they may result from motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall accidents, dog bite accidents, intentional injury accidents, plane accidents, bus accidents or construction accidents, among other accidents. In addition, medical malpractice, defective products or contamination fall under the personal injury category.
