Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
I bumped my neighbors car 18 months ago. I left a note. 24 hours later she called and left a voice mail, stating there was more damage than I believed true. I left her a voice mail back, stating that I thought the damage was too much. I haven't received a note, phone call, no correspondence since then until today. We are in Los Angeles, Ca. Is there a statute of limitations on this?

From the facts you've provided it is difficult to give you an accurate assessment of the situation. However, generally property damage is 3 years from the date the damage occurred. If there is also a personal injury issue involved the personal injury statue is 2 years from the date of injury or if the injury was not discovered or discoverable until later than 1 year from the date of discovery.
However, I caution you regarding these dates. There are exceptions to the points and the facts you have provided are no where near conclusive as to render an accurate assessment.
You really need to contact an attorney for a consultation. Most attorneys will give you an initial consultation for little or no charge. If would behoove you in this situation to consult with an attorney.
