Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury Huntington Beach claim in California?
California’s statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury. For property damage to a vehicle, the deadline extends to three years. Claims against government entities — such as injuries on city property or involving a government vehicle — require a government tort claim filed within six months of the incident. Missing any of these deadlines typically bars recovery entirely, so consulting an attorney promptly after an accident is critical.
What is the process for a car accident claim at the Harbor Justice Center in Newport Beach?
Personal injury lawsuits filed in Orange County are handled at the Harbor Justice Center in Newport Beach, which serves Huntington Beach and surrounding communities. After filing, cases proceed through case management conferences, discovery, and potential mediation before trial. Most Orange County personal injury cases settle before reaching the courthouse, but having an attorney prepared to try the case in front of a jury is the strongest leverage in settlement negotiations.
What damages can I recover in a personal injury case in California?
California personal injury recoveries can include economic damages (medical expenses past and future, lost wages, lost earning capacity, property damage) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life). California does not cap non-economic damages in most personal injury cases, though medical malpractice cases face a $350,000 cap on non-economic damages as of January 2023. Punitive damages are also available in cases involving malice, fraud, or oppression by the defendant.
