Most personal injury claims in California must be filed within two years of the accident. If a government agency is involved, that window can shrink to as little as six months, so timing matters.
California follows pure comparative fault, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partly responsible for the accident. Your compensation is simply adjusted to reflect your share of fault.
In ordinary injury cases, California places no cap on non-economic damages like pain and suffering. An attorney can help you understand what that might mean for your specific situation.
