Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
being sued by other party's insurance co
i recently may have been sued by an insurance co. approximately 2 years ago, i was in a 3 vehicle auto accident which was my fault. at that time, i had a suspended license, no proof of insurance, and the vehicle was not mine but my ex's sister in law. we waited for police but they never came. my ex came to the accident and gave them a phony insurance info. now 2 years later, the insurance co of one of the two parties is suing myself and the owner of the vehicle who recently passed away. i need to know what the statute of limitation is in a situation like this? where can i research this topic? please advice.

The statute is 4 years. You are liable along with the estate of the owner.
Re: being sued by other party's insurance co
Thanks for your posting. An insurance company has up to three years to sue for reimbursement of amounts that they have paid out under a law known as subrogation.
You do have some other options to deal with this that I can suggest, and if you want to email me privately at [email protected], I'll be happy to help you out.
The statute of limitations is three years. You can find all statute of limitations at California Code of Civil Procedure section 312 and further in the CCP from there.
