Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Los Angeles?
California’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury under CCP §335.1. For claims against a government entity — such as a city or county — you must file a government tort claim within six months. Hit-and-run cases involving the California MVAIC fund have their own shorter timelines. Contact an attorney promptly to protect all available options.
What if I was injured in an Uber or Lyft accident in Los Angeles?
Rideshare accident liability in California depends on the driver’s status at the time of the crash. Uber and Lyft provide up to $1 million in liability coverage when drivers are actively transporting passengers. When the app is on but no passenger is aboard, coverage drops significantly. Sorting out which policy applies — and maximizing recovery — requires an attorney familiar with rideshare litigation.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partly at fault for my Los Angeles accident?
Yes. California’s pure comparative fault rule allows recovery regardless of your percentage of fault — your compensation is simply reduced proportionally. Even if you were 40% at fault, you recover 60% of your total damages. Insurance companies exploit comparative fault arguments to reduce payouts; an experienced attorney counters these tactics effectively.
