California law generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim. That window shrinks dramatically β sometimes to just six months β if a government entity was involved, so it helps to act early.
California follows a pure comparative fault rule, meaning even if you were partly responsible for what happened, you can still recover compensation. Your share of fault simply reduces the amount, it doesn't eliminate your claim.
Unlike some states, California doesn't cap non-economic damages β like pain and suffering β in ordinary injury cases. An attorney can help you understand what that might mean for your situation.
