An injury can make you feel many things…

Left with few options

Stuck with bills you can’t pay

Anxious to put your injury behind you

You don’t have to feel that way any longer.

Hi, my name is David Gammill. I am a California trial lawyer and the founder of Gammill Law. I spent seven years as a Deputy District Attorney (DA) trying cases in criminal court before dedicating my practice to injured people. Our firm has recovered more than $100 million for California clients across verdicts and settlements. Our results include a $21.1 million wrongful death verdict, a $16 million school sexual abuse verdict, and a $12 million whistleblower retaliation verdict. Every case is different, and past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

It happened so fast

The aftermath is sudden. In one moment, everything changes. What you do next will either help your case or hurt it.
California law gives injured people real rights and real deadlines. The sections below cover the questions we hear most from people in Torrance and across the South Bay: what to do first, how long you have, what a case may be worth, and what a lawyer costs. Each section links to a deeper guide on this site.

First Steps After a California Accident

Get Medical Care First

See a doctor at the first sign of injury, even if you feel mostly fine. Some serious injuries take days to show symptoms, and your medical records become the backbone of your claim.

Report the Crash

California requires a DMV SR-1 report within 10 days when a crash causes injury, death, or property damage over $1,000. Read our guide on what to do after a California car accident, or the Torrance-specific version: what to do immediately after a crash in Torrance.

Preserve Evidence

Photos, witness names, and written notes taken in the first days are worth more than memory months later. Keep everything, including damaged property.

Be Careful With Insurance Calls

You are not required to give the other driver’s insurer a recorded statement. Talk to a lawyer before you do.

The Deadlines That Control a California Injury Case

Two Years for Most Injury Claims

Most California personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the injury under Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. Miss it and the case is usually over. Our CCP 335.1 guide explains the rule and its exceptions.

Six Months for Government Claims

If a city, county, school district, or state agency is involved, a written government claim is generally due within six months. The clock is short and unforgiving. Our government claim deadline guide covers it.

What a Case May Be Worth, and What a Lawyer Costs

How Case Value Works

Case value starts with your actual losses: medical bills, lost income, and future care, plus compensation for pain and how the injury changed your life. Our settlement guide explains the categories.

No Fee Unless We Win

Personal injury lawyers in California typically work on contingency, commonly in the range of 33 to 40 percent of the recovery, and 33.3 percent is the most common starting point. You pay nothing up front. Read how no-win-no-fee works and what a personal injury lawyer costs in Torrance.
