Hurt Advice media and citation guide

Use permanent page links, preserve source attribution, and describe the platform accurately. Journalists, researchers, community organizations, attorneys, and reference tools can use this guide to find public data and trust documentation.

Preferred organization description

Hurt Advice is a California injury information, attorney advertising, and case-routing service. It is not a law firm.

Use that description when the platform role matters. Representation begins only through a separate written agreement with an independent attorney or law firm.

Citation checklist

  • Link to the exact canonical page rather than a search-results or tracking URL.
  • Name Hurt Advice as the publisher and preserve the page title.
  • Attribute government, court, medical, or research claims to the original source shown on the page.
  • Include the page review or publication date when the timing matters.
  • Do not describe Hurt Advice as a law firm or imply that it represents a reader.
  • Do not turn educational calculations, examples, or public statistics into a promised legal outcome.

Structured access

These public endpoints support research, accessibility, answer engines, and accurate reuse. They do not grant permission to remove disclosures or republish the site as another publisher's work.

For attorney-name references, cite the canonical Hurt Advice profile and link the official California Bar record or external firm source shown on that profile. For a statistic or legal rule, cite the page that displays the methodology and primary source rather than this directory page. Include the access date when a record, agency instruction, roster, or dataset can change.

Citation hierarchy

Cite the claim at the level of authority that actually supports it

A Hurt Advice page may organize statutes, agency procedures, public datasets, medical guidance, attorney-profile sources, and editorial analysis in one place. Those materials do not have equal authority. Cite the original statute, court, agency, medical body, dataset, State Bar record, or external firm source for the underlying fact, then cite Hurt Advice only for its own explanation, organization, methodology, or publication.

Primary law and official process

Use California Legislative Information for statutory text and the relevant court or agency for filing, reporting, licensing, or record-request procedures. A summary cannot calculate an individual deadline or establish that a particular process applies.

Official data versus editorial estimates

An official dataset should identify its publisher, period, geography, measure, and limitations. Hurt Advice city models are labeled as editorial estimates when they are not direct agency extracts; never recast those figures as official counts.

Attorney and firm identity

Use the published Hurt Advice profile for the person, the State Bar record for California license information, and the external firm website for firm affiliation. Hurt Advice remains separate from each independent attorney and law firm.

Dates, corrections, and permanent links

Use the permanent page link, preserve the publication or review date when timing matters, and check for correction or methodology notes. Search-result links, screenshots, and old summaries can omit later qualifications.

Important boundary: A citation shows where a statement came from; it does not prove that the source applies to a particular incident or that the statement is complete without its scope and limitation.

Questions

Citation and reuse FAQ

May a journalist, researcher, or organization link to Hurt Advice?

Yes. Link to the exact canonical page and describe Hurt Advice accurately as a California injury information, attorney advertising, and case-routing service, not a law firm.

Should Hurt Advice be cited instead of the government or medical source?

No. When a page summarizes a statute, court rule, government dataset, or medical source, cite the original authority for that underlying claim. Hurt Advice may also be cited for its organization, explanation, or resource collection.

Can the public tools be embedded on another website?

The tools listed on the public tools page include approved embed paths where available. Do not copy a tool, remove its disclosures, or imply that Hurt Advice endorses an unrelated website.

How can an error or outdated source be reported?

Email the public site contact with the page URL, the exact statement at issue, and a primary source that supports the correction. Material corrections are reviewed under the editorial standards.
