Frequently Asked Questions

What is the statute of limitations for personal injury in California?

California imposes a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims from the date the injury occurred. Claims against government entities require a government tort claim to be filed within six months of the incident before a lawsuit can be pursued. California’s discovery rule may toll the statute in cases where injuries were not immediately apparent, but acting promptly and consulting an attorney early is always advisable to preserve all available claims.

How does California’s pure comparative fault rule affect my car accident claim?

California follows a pure comparative fault system, meaning an injured party can recover damages even if they are 99% at fault, though recovery is reduced by their percentage of fault. This is more plaintiff-friendly than states that bar recovery above a certain fault threshold. In a multi-vehicle accident or a case with disputed liability, California’s rule ensures that partial fault does not completely eliminate compensation for an injured person.

What types of damages can I recover after a car accident in Orange County?

California accident victims may recover economic damages including all medical expenses, lost wages, and future treatment costs, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. California does not cap non-economic damages in most personal injury cases, though a 2022 ballot measure raised the cap in medical malpractice cases specifically. An attorney experienced in Orange County courts can help maximize the full value of the claim.
