California law generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim. That window shrinks significantly β sometimes to just six months β if a government entity is involved, so it's wise to act sooner rather than later.
California follows a pure comparative fault rule, meaning even if you were partly responsible for what happened, you can still pursue compensation. Your recovery is simply reduced by your percentage of fault, not eliminated.
Unlike some states, California places no cap on non-economic damages β like pain, suffering, and emotional distress β in ordinary injury cases. That means your claim can reflect the full impact the injury had on your life.
Attorneys in our network work on contingency, so you won't pay anything out of pocket to have your case reviewed or represented. Payment only comes if and when there's a recovery on your behalf.
