Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
Auto accident statute for filing
On June 28th 2003, while driving her car, my wife was hit by another car. Their insurance company admitted responsibility said they would pay for medical bills. Today their Insurance company asked for 2 more weeks to pay. This goes well beyond the one year we thought we needed to file should they fail to pay. They claim Statute has been changed to 2 years. Is this true?

true, (though i would have them confirm it in writing, regardless), but handling the matter yourself may not necessarily render the best results. good luck.
Re: Auto accident statute for filing
Yes, the statute of limitations for personal injury automobile accidents is now 2 years from the date of injury for a case such as yours.
Re: Auto accident statute for filing
Yes, the statute of limitation for personal injury is now two years. Without a lawyer, your wife probably won't receive or will receive inadequate compensation for her pain and suffering. You might talk to a lawyer about that. I hope she's healed by now.

Re: Auto accident statute for filing
Yes it is true. However, they will try to say thatyou over treated, were overcharged etc and they will offer only a fraction of the amount. You need to get an attorney ASAP.
Re: Auto accident statute for filing
Yes. But why would you want to settle for an amount that does not compensate her for her pain and suffering and other damages?
