California law that governs your claim
- Filing deadline. Personal injury lawsuits generally have a two-year filing period under Code of Civil Procedure §335.1. A claim against a government entity generally must be presented within six months for personal injury under Government Code §911.2. Exceptions and separate lawsuit deadlines can apply. Ask an attorney to check the dates for your circumstances.
- Fault rule. California is a pure comparative negligence state. Even at significant fault, an injured person can still recover — the award is reduced by their share of responsibility.
- Damages. Recovery includes past and future medical care, lost income and earning capacity, property damage, and pain and suffering.
