California generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a claim. Claims against a government entity can require notice in as little as six months, so it's worth checking sooner rather than later.
California follows pure comparative fault, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident. Your recovery is simply reduced by your share of fault.
