California generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a claim, though claims against a government entity can require notice in as little as six months. Waiting too long can close the door on your case entirely.
Under California's pure comparative fault rule, you can still recover damages even if you were partly responsible for the crash. Your compensation is simply reduced by your share of fault, not eliminated.
California places no cap on non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, in ordinary injury cases. That means your claim isn't artificially limited before it's even evaluated.
