In California you typically have two years to file a claim for personal injuries. There are exceptions, and deadlines can vary by case type and circumstances. It is important to act promptly to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
Damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In some cases you may recover future medical costs and other related losses. Punitive damages are possible in limited situations involving wrongful conduct.

A typical timeline includes an initial investigation, demand, negotiation, and either a settlement or trial. Each case is different, and some may resolve quickly while others require more time.
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. Legal fees are paid from a portion of any recovery at the end of the case.
Medical bills are usually addressed in the settlement or verdict. Insurance policies may cover ongoing treatment, and costs can be included in the claim.
California uses comparative fault rules. You can receive compensation proportional to your level of fault, if any, depending on the case.
Bring any medical records, police reports, photos, witness information, and questions you have about the case.
If the other party lacks insurance, you may still have options through your own coverage or uninsured motorist provisions, depending on the policy.
