California has deadlines for filing different types of claims. In general, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years, but there are exceptions. We will review your case and explain the applicable timelines. You should consult a local attorney promptly to protect your rights.
Compensation can include medical expenses, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and in some cases, punitive damages. The exact amount depends on the case details and liability.
