At Tiemann Law Firm, we have compassion for our clients. It’s distressing when you’ve been hurt in an accident and don’t know what to do next. Sometimes we find people are hesitant to contact a lawyer because they are overwhelmed or have mistaken preconceptions of what might be involved. Below are some frequently asked questions clients often have.

Q: How much will it cost to hire an attorney to handle my personal injury case?

A: At our firm, we know you are probably already overwhelmed with medical bills and perhaps the prospect of lost wages and disability. We offer everyone a free initial consultation where we will review your case and provide legal advice on your options and the best plan of action. We never charge legal fees until we win your case and you have received compensation.

Q: Do I have a case?

A: Many people make the mistake of thinking they don’t have a case. A personal injury case requires two elements: liability and damages. If you’ve suffered damages and someone else is at fault, you are entitled to compensation by law.

Q: How much is my personal injury claim worth?

A: That will depend on the type of accident and severity of your injuries. Usually, the damages awarded in a personal injury case in California include both economic and non-economic compensation. Economic damages are fairly straightforward. They include the cost of medical treatments now and in the future, loss of wages, property damage, etc. Non-economic damages are less definitive and compensate for issues such as pain and suffering, emotional trauma and/or loss of companionship.

Q: How do I get answers to my personal injury questions?

A: Simple. Contact us today. Our attorneys have over 30 years of experience and an extremely high success rate in personal injury cases. Remember the consultation is completely free and with no obligation. Don’t delay. Some cases have statutes of limitations to file your claim. We are here to help.

I sat down and met with Jelena Tiemann about my vehicle accident.I presented all of my documentation to her in which she gave me her assessment.Although the Tiemann Law Firm wont be representing me because my settlement offer was pretty good she was very clear,forward and professional about what she felt could and couldn't be done.I recommend this law firm to anyone who needs a helping hand at fighting a case where you don't have to worry about the outcome not going in your favor. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees.

The Tiemanns were referred to me by a friend and I am exceptionally happy with the service I received. I had never been in an accident before. I had no idea what to do. Jelena verbally explained how everything would work to me, and she and Peter handled everything. I didn't have to lift a finger once. They went above and beyond for me and I am extremely grateful. I pray I won't ever need this type of assistance again, but I will definitely be referring them to friends and family.

I highly recommend The Tiemann Law Firm! I had never before been in a situation where I sustained injury and had to seek legal representation. I was nervous, traumatized, and had no idea what to expect. Jelena, Peter, and their staff walked me through each step of the process. They explained everything in detail. They patiently answered all my questions, responded quickly to every email, text message, phone call, etc. I felt totally prepared for each new phase of the legal process. Furthermore, they were fearless in their defense of me. In certain situations, when I felt attacked or scared my attorney protected me like I was family. Their diligence, honesty, integrity, and compassion provided a true sense of healing and closure for my family and I. The Tiemann Law Firm accomplished more for me than I ever thought possible and I am forever grateful.
