Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for a personal injury case in California?
In California, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. For claims against a government entity, you must file a claim within six months. Missing these deadlines can bar you from recovering compensation.
How does California pure comparative negligence affect my case?
Under California law, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 20% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you can still recover $80,000. This applies even if you are mostly at fault.
What types of damages can I recover in a California injury case?
You can recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages. You can also recover non-economic damages for pain and suffering. California does not cap most personal injury damages, but there are limits in medical malpractice cases.
