Fees & Pricing

What You'll Pay

Habbas & Associates handles every personal injury matter on a contingency-fee basis. There is no upfront cost. The firm's fee is a percentage of the recovery — typically a third pre-litigation, scaling up if the case is filed in court. The firm advances all case expenses (medical records, expert fees, court costs) and reimburses them out of the recovery. If there is no recovery, you pay nothing.

Car Accident · San Jose

“I was rear-ended on 880 and had a serious neck injury. Habbas got me to the right doctors, fought the insurance company hard, and the settlement covered my surgery and lost wages.”
Client
Marcus B.
Truck Accident · I-680
★★★★★
“An eighteen-wheeler ran a light and totaled my car. Habbas pulled the dashcam, the trucking company logs, the whole thing. They got me a result the insurance company never would have offered me directly.”
Client

FAQ

Common Questions About This Firm

How much does it cost to hire Habbas & Associates?
Nothing up front. They work on contingency — no attorney fee unless and until they recover money for you. The firm advances medical records, expert fees, and other case costs.
How long after a California car accident do I have to act?
California's statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the accident. For claims against a government entity it can be as short as six months. The practical clock is much shorter than the legal one — call before you talk to any adjuster.
Does Habbas & Associates handle out-of-court settlements?
Yes. Most cases resolve before trial. But the firm prepares each case as if it will be tried. That trial posture is usually what produces a fair settlement offer.
What languages does the firm speak?
Habbas & Associates handles cases in English, Spanish, and Arabic. Other languages can be accommodated through interpreters.
Does Habbas handle cases outside San Jose?
Yes. The firm has six offices across Northern California — San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco, Sacramento, Modesto, and Rocklin — and handles cases throughout the state.
