Why quick action matters in California
California generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, but shorter deadlines can apply — especially for claims involving a government entity, which may require a formal claim within six months. Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
