In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of injury. Missing deadlines can bar recovery. An attorney can help you understand deadlines and organize evidence. In many cases, starting early ensures the necessary documentation and witness statements are preserved for a strong claim.
You may recover economic damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and property damage, plus non-economic damages like pain and suffering. Insurance policies and settlement structures vary, so a careful evaluation helps maximize what you receive. Punitive damages are rarely applicable in typical truck crashes.
