In California, the statutes of limitations for personal injury claims typically require filing within two years, with some exceptions. Missing deadlines can bar recovery, so early evaluation is important.
Compensation may include medical expenses, future care costs, lost earnings, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. The exact amount depends on medical prognosis and life impact.
