How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?

In California, the general timeline to file a personal injury claim is two years from the date of the accident. However, there are exceptions when this time limit may be shorter or longer, so do not delay in contacting an experienced California personal injury lawyer.

What if I’m Partially at Fault for the Accident?

Thanks to California’s pure comparative negligence system, accident victims can still recover compensation even if they were partially at fault for the accident. This is true even if they were more at fault than the negligent party was. However, their potential compensation can be reduced by their degree of fault.
