In California, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations. If you miss this deadline, you may not be able to sue the person or company who caused your injury.
There are a few exceptions to this rule. If you were injured while in the military, or if you are a minor, you have more time to file a lawsuit. If you are not sure how much time you have, it is best to talk to an attorney. If you have been injured, it is important to take action as soon as possible. The sooner you file a lawsuit, the easier it will be to gather evidence and find witnesses. Contact an attorney today to discuss your case.
