If you’ve been injured in an accident, whether it’s a car crash, slip and fall, or any other personal injury, the first step toward getting the compensation you deserve is a free case evaluation with an experienced personal injury lawyer. At Bojat Law Group, we understand that this initial consultation can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you prepare, so you can make the most of your time with our car accident lawyers and personal injury attorneys.
Why do we offer free consultation
At Bojat Law Group, we believe that access to legal guidance shouldn’t depend on your financial situation, especially after an accident that wasn’t your fault. That’s why we offer free consultations to every potential client.
This initial meeting is not a formality, and it’s not a sales pitch. It’s a real opportunity to understand where you stand legally, what your next steps could look like, and whether you even need an attorney. We take these consultations seriously because we know how much is at stake. Our role is to listen, assess the facts, and offer honest, informed advice, with no pressure to commit.
Most of our clients come to us during one of the most difficult moments in their lives. Offering a no-cost consultation is one way we remove a barrier and make it easier to take that first step toward justice.
What we’ll ask you during the free consultation
Expect a focused but conversational meeting. We’ll never rush you into anything. But we do want to cover key points that will shape your case strategy. Some questions we may ask:
- When and where did the incident occur?
- Who was involved and what did they say/do after the event?
- Have you spoken to any insurance companies?
- What medical care have you received so far?
- How has this affected your ability to work or live normally?
Be honest and detailed. We’re not here to judge but to protect you.
What to bring with you
You don’t need a binder of documents or a perfect timeline. But the more details you can bring, the more helpful the meeting will be. Here’s what we recommend:
- Any police report or incident number
- Photos or videos from the accident scene (cars, injuries, road conditions, etc.)
- Your medical records or bills — even a discharge summary is helpful
- Insurance info (yours and, if possible, the other party’s)
- Names of any witnesses, if you have them
- Copies of any emails or letters from the insurance company
- Recent pay stubs or income info if you’ve missed work
Don’t worry if you’re missing some of these. This isn’t a test — it’s a starting point.
How to get the most out of your free consultation
Start by giving yourself a few quiet minutes before the meeting to reflect. Think about the timeline of events, how the accident has affected your day-to-day life, and what outcome you’re hoping for. You don’t need legal language just your truth, clearly told.
It also helps to write down any questions that have been lingering in your mind. Maybe you’re wondering how long a case like yours takes, what “pain and suffering” compensation really means, or whether the insurance company’s offer is fair. These consultations are for you so don’t hold back.
Another tip? Be honest. If something about the case feels messy or complicated, say so. We’re not here to judge — we’re here to help you make sense of it all and figure out a path forward. The more open you are, the better we can advocate for you.
And finally, don’t stress about being “prepared enough.” You don’t need to show up with every detail memorized or every document perfectly organized. Just bring what you can, tell us what happened and let us do the heavy lifting.
After the meeting: What’s next?
If we both feel it’s a good fit and you decide to move forward, we’ll sign a contingency fee agreement meaning you don’t pay us anything up front, and we only get paid if we win your case. No fine print. No surprise fees. Just a clear commitment from us to fight for you.
Once the agreement is signed, we get to work immediately.
We’ll notify the insurance companies that you’re now represented — so they stop contacting you directly. From that point on, all communication goes through us. You focus on your recovery, and we handle the pressure.
We’ll start gathering every piece of evidence: medical records, crash reports, surveillance footage, photos, and expert opinions if needed. If you haven’t seen a specialist yet, we can connect you with trusted providers who understand the legal process and know how to document injuries properly.
We’ll build a strategy around your real damages, not just your hospital bills. That includes long-term medical needs, missed work, emotional trauma, and the true impact the injury has had on your life. Insurance companies often hope you’ll settle for less. We make sure they know you won’t.
And if they still try to lowball you, we’re ready to litigate. Sasha Bojat and our trial team are known for being relentless in court. We don’t bluff, we prepare every case like it’s going to trial from day one
What does working on a contingency fee basis actually mean for you as our client
When we say we work on a contingency fee basis, we mean this: you pay nothing unless we win. Contingency fees are regulated under California law to protect consumers and ensure transparency.
There are no upfront costs, no hourly rates, and no hidden fees. We cover the cost of building your case — everything from obtaining medical records and hiring expert witnesses to negotiating with insurance companies. If we recover compensation for you through a settlement or verdict, our fee comes out of that amount. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing.
For you, this means two important things:
- You can pursue justice without financial risk. You don’t have to choose between paying your bills and protecting your legal rights.
- We’re fully invested in your case. Our success is directly tied to your success. We only take cases we believe in, and we fight hard to get results because your recovery is our priority.
Sasha Bojat, founding attorney at Bojat Law Group, emphasizes that the decision to offer free consultations and work on a contingency fee basis is rooted in principle, not marketing.
“Most people don’t plan to need a lawyer — they call us when something unexpected and life-changing has happened. The last thing they should worry about is whether they can afford to ask for help. We’re here to give them clarity, and a chance to move forward — without pressure, and without risk.”
Working on a contingency fee basis reflects our commitment to client-centered representation. To speak with an attorney and learn more about your legal options, call Bojat Law Group at (818) 877-4878 or schedule your free consultation online.
