Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
what is the statute of limitations for personal injury in an auto accident in california
2 Answers from Attorneys
Under normal circumstances, the statute of limitations for personal injury is two years from the date of the incident. This period of time can be shorter, however, if (for example) a governmental entity is potentially at fault for the collision (due to dangerous conditions on the road, etc). If a governmental entity is potentially at fault, the injured party must file a claim with the entity within six months of the incident. Because this analysis is fact intensive, you should contact an attorney as soon as possible.
