Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Los Angeles?

California’s statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury. However, if the defendant is a government entity — such as the City of Los Angeles or LA Metro — you must file a government tort claim within six months of the incident. Missing either deadline typically bars recovery entirely.

What is a personal injury case worth in California?

Based on an analysis of nearly 6,000 California personal injury cases resolved between 2021 and 2024, the average settlement is approximately $55,056 — though severe injury cases can reach well into seven figures. The amount depends on medical expenses, lost wages, permanency of injury, and comparative fault. Most cases settle before trial rather than going before a Los Angeles Superior Court jury.

Does hiring a lawyer really increase my recovery in Los Angeles?

California data consistently shows that represented claimants recover significantly more than unrepresented ones. Attorneys change the negotiation dynamic from the first demand letter. In Los Angeles, where insurer defense teams are well-resourced, having counsel who understands local court tendencies — including the Central District’s jury demographics — matters in both settlement posture and trial strategy.
