Thank you for your inquiry from Law Offices of Mehrban and Associates; DOCTORS & LAWYERS.

Statute of limitation in State of California is one year. This 'one year' starts to run from the date that wrongdoing was discovered. However, there are exceptions and special applications of law that may make this one year variable and you need legal consultation by an expert to dixcover the application of law to your case. As such, we are not able to answer your general question without complete knowledge of the special facts.
