A spinal cord injury claim in California requires proof of fault, medical losses, and future care needs. The law also considers how the injury affects daily living and earning capacity. Evidence often includes accident reports, medical records, expert opinions, and employment records. An attorney can help organize this information and present a persuasive case to insurers or in court.
In California, the statute of limitations for most spinal cord injury claims is two years from the date of injury, though exceptions exist for government cases. Timelines vary by case, so it’s important to consult an attorney early to preserve rights and gather evidence.
