California Personal Injury Deadlines
California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1 gives most injury victims two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. If a government agency — such as Caltrans, the County of San Bernardino, or a city — is responsible, Government Code section 911.2 requires filing a tort claim within six months before you can sue. Missing these deadlines typically means losing your right to compensation. Our attorneys manage every deadline in your case.
