In California, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim. Some exceptions apply, so it is important to consult with an attorney promptly.
Many pool accident cases settle before trial, but some do go to court when a fair settlement can’t be reached. We prepare the case to be ready for trial if needed.
