FREQUENTLY ASKEDQUESTIONS

Who can be held liable for a truck accident in California? +

Liability in a truck accident can fall on the driver, trucking company, cargo loader, or vehicle manufacturer. California follows a comparative fault system, meaning multiple parties may share responsibility. Trucking companies are often liable for negligent hiring, poor maintenance, or violations of federal trucking regulations. Our experienced team of attorneys can help determine fault and pursue compensation from the appropriate parties.

What should I do after a car accident in California? +

The first things you should do are seek medical attention and report the accident to the police. California law requires drivers to exchange information and report accidents involving injuries or damages over $1,000. Document the scene with photos and witness statements, and notify your insurance company. If the other driver was at fault, our Roseville car accident attorneys can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, and vehicle repairs.

Can I sue Uber or Lyft after a rideshare accident? +

You may have a claim against Uber or Lyft depending on the driver’s status at the time of the accident. Rideshare companies provide insurance coverage for drivers, but coverage depends on whether the driver was logged into the app, waiting for a ride, or actively transporting a passenger. If another driver caused the crash, their insurance may be responsible. You can trust our California lawyers to help you explore your options and identify the best path forward.

Can I sue if I slipped and fell on someone else’s property? +

Yes, you may have a case if the property owner’s negligence caused your fall. Under California’s premises liability laws, property owners must maintain safe conditions and warn of hazards. If they knew or should have known about a dangerous condition—such as a wet floor or uneven pavement—and failed to fix it, they may be liable. Our Roseville slip and fall lawyer offers extensive knowledge of premises liability law and can assess your case and gather evidence to prove negligence.

Does California have a one-bite rule for dog attacks? +

No, California follows a strict liability rule for dog bites. Under California Civil Code § 3342, a dog owner is liable for injuries caused by their dog, regardless of the dog’s past behavior or whether the owner was negligent. This means that even if a dog has never bitten anyone before, the owner is still responsible for damages. If you’re ready to seek recovery for medical bills, lost wages, and emotional distress after a dog attack, contact our California personal injury firm. We’ll provide personalized guidance that targets your maximum compensation.

How long does a divorce take? +

The fastest possible divorce takes a little over six months, because six months is California’s mandatory waiting period. But keep in mind that this timeline typically only applies to the most amicable of cases. Contested divorces—where spouses disagree on issues like custody, support, or property division—often take longer. Factors like court backlogs, negotiations, and financial disclosures impact the timeline. If you don’t already have representation, contact our divorce attorneys. We can help streamline the process and protect your interests.

Why do I need a lawyer for a family law case? +

While not required, working with a lawyer can protect your rights in divorce, custody, and support matters. Family law cases involve complex legal and emotional issues, and California courts follow strict procedures. Having seasoned and reputable legal representation often leads to better outcomes for you and your family. Our attorneys can help negotiate fair agreements, represent you in court, and advocate for you during some of life’s toughest chapters. 

How is spousal support determined? +

In California, spousal support is based on factors such as income, length of the marriage, and each spouse’s financial needs. In temporary support orders, courts use a formula, while long-term support considers factors like earning capacity and contributions to the marriage. California courts aim to help the lower-earning spouse maintain a similar standard of living post-divorce. Our divorce and family lawyer is ready to listen to your concerns, address your questions, and help you pursue a fair support arrangement.

How is child support calculated in California? +

California uses a statewide guideline formula based on income, custody time, and expenses. Factors include each parent’s earnings, healthcare costs, childcare, and other financial obligations. Courts may deviate from the guideline in special cases, such as when a child has significant medical needs. For tailored legal guidance and strategies, contact our family lawyers at Manzoor Law Firm, Inc. We’ll be happy to sit down and walk you through what your arrangement could look like, then advocate for your ideal outcome. 

How can I get a restraining order for domestic violence? +

You can request a Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) through the California courts. This order can protect you from physical harm, threats, or harassment. You must file forms detailing the abuse and may receive a temporary order until a hearing is held. If granted, a restraining order can require the abuser to stay away, leave a shared home, or stop contacting you. We understand how scary and overwhelming this process can be—our attorneys are here to help guide you through the process with care and efficiency.

Who wins most custody cases? +

Historically speaking, data shows a bias towards mothers winning custody of children. But please keep in mind there is never any automatic winner in custody cases—courts prioritize the best interests of the child over either parent’s preference. In fact, judges generally prefer joint custody when both parents are fit and involved because this helps the child maintain strong relationships with both. However, if one parent poses a risk due to issues like abuse, neglect, or substance use, the other may receive primary custody. Each case is unique, and our firm can help present a strong case for your parental rights.
