In California, the typical deadline is two years from the date of injury, though exceptions can apply for minors or certain cases. It’s important to start the process early to preserve rights.
Bring identification, details of the crash, police report if available, medical records, photos, and any correspondence with insurance companies. Junk mail or unrelated documents aren’t necessary.
