California generally gives you 2 years from the date of injury to file a claim, but that window shrinks to as little as 6 months if a government entity is involved. Waiting too long can cost you your right to recover anything.
California follows pure comparative fault, meaning even if you were partly responsible for the crash, you can still recover damages — just reduced by your share of fault.
