How the Process Works: Strategic and Compassionate Representation

AJ Kotanjian did an incredible job handling my case. At the beginning of the process AJ clearly articulated how we would approach the case, what information he needed from me, timelines, and everything relevant to pushing for a successful outcome. He was an absolute professional and we were able to win the insurance claim from my cycling/car accident in less than 3 months which I was very surprised at given how long some of these trials/cases can go. I feel extremely fortunate to have hired him soon after I was injured, and was able to focus on healing and getting back to my life while he took care of everything else. Thank you AJ for your hard work and helping me get back on my feet!

Frequently Asked Questions About Recoverable Damages

  • How do I know what my injury claim is worth?

    Every case is different. During your consultation, we’ll analyze your injury, expenses, and long-term impact to estimate the full value of your claim.

  • Can I recover damages even if I was partly at fault?

    Yes. California and Arizona both allow partial fault claims—meaning your compensation can be reduced based on your share of the blame, but you’re still eligible for recovery.

  • What proof do I need to support my damages claim?

    Medical records, income verification, and documentation of daily life impact are all key. We help gather, organize, and present all necessary proof.

  • Do emotional damages count toward my compensation?

    Yes. We pursue compensation for pain, suffering, anxiety, depression, and other emotional harm caused by your injury.

  • What happens if the insurance company offers a fast settlement?

    Quick settlements often undervalue your damages. We advise against accepting any offers until your full costs and long-term needs are clear.

  • How long do I have to file a damages claim?

    Deadlines vary by state and case type, but acting quickly preserves evidence and protects your rights.
