Napa Personal Injury Lawyers
Most people are fortunate enough to never need a lawyer. Yet when something happens, it can be hard to know where to turn for help.
A personal injury lawyer represents victims of all types of accidents to help them get the compensation that they deserve. They negotiate directly with the insurance company, and when necessary, take a case to trial to get injury victims the compensation that they deserve. If you have been hurt in an accident in Napa County, an experienced personal injury attorney will advocate for your legal rights.
With offices throughout Northern California, the Kuvara Law Firm fights for the rights of accident victims. We handle all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that you pay nothing upfront and only pay a fee if we recover money for you. Our law firm offers free initial consultations to help you better understand your legal rights.
Don’t settle for less. Fight for full compensation.

How Do I Know If I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Consider this situation: you’re riding your bike in Napa County when suddenly, a car sideswipes you, causing major injuries. What do you do?
In this case, it may seem obvious that the driver of the car is responsible for your losses. Yet it may not always be so clear-cut – such as if you slip and fall when leaving a friend’s house, or if you are in a multi-vehicle accident and are at least partially at fault.
In California, personal injury cases are usually based on a theory of negligence. This means that a person did not use the level of care that a reasonable person would in a similar situation. If you are injured because of something that someone else did – or failed to do – then you might be able to pursue a personal injury lawsuit.
A personal injury claim may allow you to get money for all of the losses associated with your accident. For example, if you broke your leg in a motorcycle crash, then you can file an accident claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance company for your medical bills, property damage, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses.
Types of Cases We Handle
Our law office is dedicated to helping people throughout Napa County who have been injured in accidents.
Each of our cases starts with a consultation, which we offer at no cost and no obligation. One of our personal injury lawyers will meet with you, and listen to your story. Using our knowledge and experience, we will then offer you legal advice about your case, including whether it makes sense to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party.
If you decide to hire our law firm, we will get to work right away. We will investigate the accident details, interview witnesses, request an accident report when available, and consult with experts. Our legal team will also review relevant California personal injury law and similar cases that have settled or gone to trial to determine the best way to proceed.
From there, we will send a demand letter to the insurance company that sets out the facts of your case and makes a demand for compensation. This begins the negotiation process, where the insurance carrier will make a counteroffer and both sides will go back and forth until a settlement is reached.
Most (97%) personal injury claims are resolved before trial. There are times when the insurer refuses to give you a fair settlement. When that happens, your lawyer will take your case to a jury and ask them to find it in your favor.
Having legal representation is often the key to getting a top dollar settlement. According to research from the Insurance Research Council, injury victims recover 3.5 times as much compensation when they have legal representation compared to when they represent themselves. When the insurance company knows that you can and will prove your case in court, they are more likely to offer you a settlement that truly compensates you for your losses.
Our practice is focused on California personal injury law, including cases related to:
-
Car Accident LawsuitsIncluding truck and motorcycle wrecks
-
Premises Liability ClaimsIncluding slip and falls and dog bites
-
Defective ProductsIncluding defective cars, trucks, and SUVs
-
Work Accident InjuriesWorkers’ compensation and third party personal injury claims

"They really are a best in class firm who will fight for you."
I would highly recommend Kuvara Law Firm to anyone who has been in an accident. Colby Kuvara was an excellent attorney who went above and beyond in guiding me through the legal process and really advocating for me in a time that was extremely stressful. Her team was very responsive and thorough through the duration of the case.

"Colby was professional, caring and listened carefully to what our son's desired outcomes were."
Our adult son was hit by a car while on vacation in San Rafael CA. We recieved the call the night before Thanksgiving 2022. We flew from MPLS to San Fransisco and got to the hospital where our son was. He was injured badly, after emergency brain surgery he was placed in a medically induced coma he woke up after three day's. We decided as a family to contact an attorney. We contacted Kuvara Law firm and talked with Colby. Colby assured us that the only interest she had was the well being of our son. She went above and beyond to navigate out of state insurance and an entire host of other issues. Our entire family would recomend Kuvara Law firm to anyone looking for representation.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in California?
The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in California is 2 years. With a few exceptions, this means that you have just 2 years from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit. If you don’t file a lawsuit in this time period, then your claim will likely be tossed out of court.
Because of this time limit, it is important to reach out to a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after you are hurt in an accident. In Napa Valley and the surrounding areas, call the Kuvara Law Firm to schedule a free consultation with a member of our team.

How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
If you have been hurt in an accident, then you may be able to recover financial compensation for all of your losses, such as medical bills, property damage, lost wages, scarring, disfigurement, emotional distress, and pain and suffering. The total value of your case depends on things such as how much insurance the at-fault party has, whether you will fully recover, and how bad your injuries were. For example, if you were paralyzed in a pedestrian accident, you will likely recover more money than if you suffered soft tissue injuries in a slip and fall.
During a free consultation, a Napa personal injury lawyer will explain your legal rights and give you an estimate of how much your case is worth. Your attorney will then work to help you get the money that you need to cover your losses and move forward with your life. Contact a highly-qualified personal injury attorney at the Kuvara Law Firm to learn more.

How Can I Afford to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney?
