Meet Justin Farahi — The Founder and Lead Personal Injury Attorney
Justin Farahi founded Farahi Law Firm to give California accident victims direct access to an attorney who handles their case personally, from the first consultation through resolution. He continues to serve as the firm’s lead personal injury lawyer.
Attorney Justin Farahi’s practice is built around the principle that accident victims should not have to chase down their own attorney for case updates, fight to be heard, or accept a settlement that does not reflect the full scope of their injuries.
Every Farahi Law Firm case is built around a single promise to every client: the medical care you need and the money you deserve.

Our Approach to California Personal Injury Cases
Every Farahi Law Firm case begins with the same foundation: investigate quickly, document thoroughly, and pursue every form of compensation recoverable under California law. The firm’s approach is shaped by what it takes to actually win a personal injury case in California, which is not the same as what insurance adjusters or quick-settlement firms want clients to believe.
Immediate investigation.
Police reports are obtained, surveillance footage requests go out before recording cycles end, witness statements are taken while memories are fresh, and accident scenes are documented before evidence disappears.
Expert deployment on serious cases.
The firm engages accident reconstruction specialists, treating physicians, life-care planners, and forensic economists to build damage models that reflect the full lifetime impact of the injury.
Trial-ready case preparation.
Strategy is built around the assumption that the matter may proceed to trial, even though most cases ultimately settle. That posture is what separates a serious settlement demand from one that an insurer will lowball.
Full litigation capability.
When a case requires it, the firm files, conducts discovery, deposes defense witnesses, and tries the case to verdict.
Contingency fee structure.
Clients pay nothing up front. Fees and costs are paid only out of a recovery, and only if there is a recovery.
Direct attorney access.
Cases are not handed off to paralegals after retention. Clients work with the legal team from intake through resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions
The questions below cover what California injury victims most often ask before retaining counsel. Each answer is structured for clarity, with links to deeper resources where applicable. If you do not see your question here, call the firm directly at (844) 824-2955 for a free consultation.
What is a personal injury?
A personal injury is harm to a person caused by another party’s negligence or wrongful conduct, for which the law allows the injured person to recover compensation.
In California, common personal injury cases include car accidents, motorcycle and truck crashes, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, slip and fall incidents, premises liability claims, dog bites, defective products, and wrongful death. The category is broad, but the legal framework is consistent: someone owed a duty of care, breached it, and caused harm.
Do I need to hire a personal injury attorney?
You are not legally required to hire an attorney to file a personal injury claim in California, but you should strongly consider doing so for any case involving serious injuries, disputed liability, or insurance complications.
Insurance adjusters are trained negotiators with one goal: minimizing payouts. Represented claimants consistently recover more than unrepresented ones, and a contingency fee arrangement means there is no financial barrier to retaining counsel.
The initial consultation with Farahi Law Firm is free.
How much does it cost to hire a California personal injury lawyer?
Farahi Law Firm represents California injury clients on a contingency fee basis. That means there is no upfront cost, no hourly billing, and no retainer. Attorney fees and case costs are paid only out of a recovery, and only if there is a recovery.
The contingency arrangement is disclosed in writing in the engagement agreement before representation begins.
What is the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim in California?
Most California personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of injury under Code of Civil Procedure §335.1. Important exceptions apply: claims against government entities are subject to a six-month deadline, claims involving minors may be tolled, and the discovery rule may extend the deadline in certain delayed-discovery cases.
Missing the deadline generally extinguishes the claim. The Resources page includes a dedicated guide on California’s personal injury filing deadlines.
How long will my California personal injury case take?
Timelines vary significantly. Straightforward cases with clear liability and documented injuries can be resolved within several months of completing medical treatment. Cases involving disputed liability, catastrophic injuries, multiple defendants, or insurer bad faith often take one to two years at the demand stage and longer when litigation is filed.
Cases that proceed to trial can take two to three years from filing to verdict. The firm provides realistic timeline estimates at intake based on the specific facts.
How much is a personal injury case worth in California?
No responsible attorney can quote a number on the first day of a case. Case value depends on injury severity, total cost of past and future medical care, lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, the strength of liability evidence, available insurance coverage, and California’s pure comparative negligence rule (which reduces recovery by the percentage of fault assigned to the injured party).
The firm builds damage models around current medical evidence and future projections.
What types of compensation can I recover after an accident?
California personal injury compensation falls into three categories.
Economic damages cover quantifiable financial losses: past and future medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and out-of-pocket costs.
Non-economic damages cover the human cost of the injury: physical pain, emotional suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and physical impairment (Civil Code §3333).
Punitive damages are reserved for cases meeting the Civil Code §3294 standard — malice, oppression, or fraud, proven by clear and convincing evidence — and are rare in ordinary negligence matters.
Do I still have a case if I was partially at fault?
Yes. California follows pure comparative negligence under the California Supreme Court’s decision in Li v. Yellow Cab Co. (1975) 13 Cal.3d 804. An injured plaintiff can recover damages even if assigned a substantial percentage of fault, with the recovery reduced by that assigned percentage. Insurance adjusters routinely try to inflate the injured party’s fault percentage to reduce payouts.
The firm’s investigation focuses on building the strongest possible liability theory and pushing back against inflated comparative fault arguments.
What should I do if an insurance company has already contacted me?
Do not give a recorded statement to the at-fault driver’s insurer without first speaking to an attorney. Confirm the basic facts that you were involved in an incident, request the adjuster’s name and claim number, and decline to provide a recorded statement at this time.
Adjusters are trained to ask questions designed to minimize the claim, and statements made in the first days after an accident can be used to undercut the case later. Call Farahi Law Firm at (844) 824-2955 before the next contact.
What happens if the at-fault driver was uninsured or underinsured?
California insurers are required to offer uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM) with every auto policy under California Insurance Code §11580.2. If your own auto policy includes this coverage, it may apply when the at-fault driver has no insurance, has fled the scene, or has insufficient policy limits.
There are three coverage types: UMBI (bodily injury), UIM (underinsured), and UMPD (property damage, capped at $3,500). The firm helps identify and pursue every applicable coverage source.
