You may be eligible for compensation covering medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost wages, and pain and suffering. The exact amount depends on your damages and the evidence in your case. A lawyer can help you pursue every applicable source of recovery, including settlements, liens, and potential government benefits.
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury. Some cases may have shorter or longer deadlines based on circumstances, so timely legal advice is important. If the injury was discovered later, the deadline may be extended under the discovery rule in some situations.
