How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in California?
In most cases, California law allows two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations. If the injury claim involves a government agency, a formal claim must usually be filed within six months. Missing these deadlines can result in losing the right to pursue compensation, so it is important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible after an accident.
