California generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim, though claims against a government entity can require notice in as little as six months. Reaching out sooner rather than later helps preserve your options.
California follows a pure comparative fault rule, so even if you were partly responsible for what happened, you may still be able to recover a portion of your damages. An attorney can help sort out how fault might apply to your specific case.
In ordinary injury cases, California does not limit the amount you can seek for pain, suffering, and other non-economic losses. This means your claim isn't automatically restricted by a dollar ceiling.
Attorneys in our network work on contingency, so you typically pay nothing upfront and owe no attorney fee unless there is a settlement or award in your favor.
