The Chigbu Law Difference
Unlike large impersonal firms, when you hire Clifford Chigbu, you work directly with Clifford — not a paralegal or junior associate. He personally reviews every case, negotiates with insurance companies, and if necessary, takes your case to trial. His contingency fee structure means you pay nothing unless he wins.
California Personal Injury — Key Facts for 2026
- Statute of limitations: 2 years from date of injury (6 months for government entities)
- Comparative fault: California uses "pure comparative negligence" — you can recover even if partially at fault, but your award is reduced by your percentage of fault
- Auto insurance minimums raised in 2026: $30,000 per person / $60,000 per accident / $15,000 property damage
- No-fault vs. at-fault: California is an at-fault state — the negligent party's insurance pays
