Frequently Asked Questions

Will I have to go to court to resolve my claim?

Many cases resolve through insurance settlements, but if fault or compensation is disputed, you may need to take your claim to court. Our attorneys will walk you through your options if litigation becomes necessary.

What costs can I recover after a drunk driving accident?

You may be able to recover medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and pain and suffering, depending on California law and the specifics of your case.

How long do I have to file a claim after an accident?

California law sets strict deadlines for personal injury claims. Acting quickly helps protect your rights and makes for a stronger case—contacting a lawyer soon after your accident is a smart first step.

How do police reports impact a drunk driving accident claim?

Police reports can serve as key evidence, detailing what happened and identifying any driver suspected of alcohol use. Your attorney will use this report to support your claim.

What if the driver faces criminal DUI charges?

Even if the other driver is charged with DUI, your civil claim for damages is separate. The criminal case outcome can affect your civil claim, but you may still seek compensation regardless of a conviction.

"Fantastic and Wonderful"
Sarah Greer and Sam Eldaly from Smolich & Smolich are a fabulous team to work with. I had to apply for SSDI due to my Parkinsons and they handled it not only a professionals but as if they were sitting across the table from me in person the entire time. They are a dynamite team! I highly recommend them to anyone for a fantastic and timely managed experience. Thank you Smolich & Smolich!

"Thank you Sarah and team!"
I needed to apply for disability and knew nothing about how to go about it. Sarah called me and explained the process and assured me everything would be okay. Her staff went online to fill out my application. She and Marlena kept me updated every step of the way. Within a short time a decision was made in my favor. I cannot tell you how many sleepless nights I had prior to meeting with the team. I would recommend them to anyone who needs help in this area. Thank you so much for all your hard work. Without you I could have never done this.

"Without Smolich & Smolich taking my case I would have never gotten my benefits!!!"
Without Smolich & Smolich taking my case I would have never gotten my benefits!!! Rob Smolich took my case himself and was so helpful in every step of the way. I cant say anything negative about Smolich & Smolich. I had a lawyer before him and he was way more personable. His office took all the stress off my back and made me feel at ease during the time period of waiting. Have nothing but good things to say about this company. They are completely professional!!!!

"They know what it takes to win. Thank you all so much!"
Thank you so much for your help. I was denied twice by social security disability. They are the most diligent and wonderfully. Yes it takes a while to get a hearing. If it wasn't for the great staff and attorneys here, I would have never been approved for disability. It was the best Christmas gift i received. They know what it takes to win. Thank you all so much!
