California generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim, but claims against a government agency can require notice in as little as six months. Waiting too long can cost you the right to recover anything at all.
California follows pure comparative fault, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partly responsible for the accident. Your compensation is simply reduced by your share of fault, not eliminated.
In ordinary injury cases, California places no cap on non-economic damages like pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. That means your recovery isn't artificially limited before your case is even evaluated.
Attorneys in our network work on contingency, so there's no fee unless they recover money for you. That removes the financial barrier to getting a professional opinion on your situation.
