California generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a claim, though claims against a government agency can require notice in as little as six months. Talking to someone early helps make sure you don't miss a deadline.
California follows pure comparative fault, so even if you share some responsibility for what happened, you can still pursue compensation reduced by your share of fault. It's not all-or-nothing.
In ordinary injury cases, California doesn't cap non-economic damages like pain and suffering, so your losses beyond medical bills can still matter to your claim.
Attorneys in the network work on contingency, meaning fees come only from a settlement or award β not out of your pocket up front.
