  • What if someone sues me?
    • Contact your insurance agent and/or your lawyer right away. Generally, your insurance company will assign a lawyer to handle your case. But, if you are sued for more money than your policy covers, you may need your own attorney too.

    Also, insurance company lawyers do not handle traffic citations or criminal cases, such as hit and run charges.

    If you are charged with a crime and cannot afford a lawyer, call your county's public Defender. Depending on your income, you may qualify for free assistance. To find the Public Defender, look in the white pages under the name of your county.*
    Important: If your case deals with personal injury (automobile accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, medical or legal malpractice) or workers' compensation cases (accidents at work) and deals with California law, you can reach us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week just by calling 1-800-LAW-TALK, from anywhere in the United States, for a free consultation.

    These Frequently Asked Questions are based on California Law. Information with a * was originally published by the State Bar of California and is also available through them. It is reprinted with their permission.
