Frequently Asked Questions

Personal Injury

There are no upfront costs. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. Your initial consultation is completely free.

Frequently Asked Questions

Product Liability

Some indicators include the product malfunctioning or breaking during normal use, injuries despite following all instructions, similar reported problems with the same product, or recalls for the product. Our technical experts can examine the product and your circumstances to determine if a defect caused your injury.

Frequently Asked Questions

Traumatic Brain

There is no set amount, as every case is different. Compensation may include economic damages like current and future medical bills, lost income, disability-related home or vehicle modifications, and rehabilitation. Non-economic damages can cover pain, suffering, emotional distress, and loss of quality of life. In cases involving extreme negligence or product defects, punitive damages may also be available. We work with life planners and economic experts to calculate the full scope of your losses. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Truck Accidents

Trucking accidents often involve multiple parties beyond just the driver. Depending on the facts, liability may extend to the trucking company, truck owner, cargo loaders, maintenance providers, or even the manufacturer of a defective truck part. At Schneiderman Trial Attorneys, we thoroughly investigate your case to uncover every potentially responsible party and pursue full compensation from each one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wrongful Death

In California, only certain individuals are legally allowed to file a wrongful death claim. This typically includes the decedent’s spouse, domestic partner, or children. If there are no surviving spouses or children, other relatives such as parents or siblings may qualify. In some cases, individuals who were financially dependent on the deceased may also be eligible. Our team can help determine whether you have legal standing to bring a claim.
