California generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. If a city, county, or state agency is involved, a claim may need to be filed in as little as six months, so it helps to act early.
California follows pure comparative fault. If you were partly responsible, your recovery is reduced by your share of fault, but you are not shut out entirely.
In an ordinary injury case, California places no fixed ceiling on non-economic damages like pain, lost sleep, or the inability to do what you used to do. Each case is weighed on its own facts.
We work on contingency. There is no fee unless there is a recovery, and contacting us costs you nothing.
