How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in California?
How long you have to file a personal injury claim is dictated by the statute of limitations, which is a law that limits how long injury victims have to file a personal injury claim. According to the California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in the state of California is two years.
More specifically, this means you have two years from the date your injury was inflicted to file your claim, or you risk losing your right to file and your right to recover compensation. There are exceptions that can change this time limit depending on the specifics of your case so it’s important to speak to an attorney about the details of your case as soon as possible.
The statute of limitations has a big impact on your ability to file a claim and recover compensation.
