Personal Injury law in California
California injury law shapes your case in a few specific ways worth knowing early.
- Filing deadline: You generally have two years from the date of the injury to file — and only about six months to put a government entity on notice before you can sue.
- Fault: California follows pure comparative negligence, so you can still recover even if you were partly — or mostly — at fault, with your recovery reduced by your share of the blame.
- Damage caps: An ordinary California injury case has no cap on damages; medical-malpractice claims are the main exception.
- Uninsured drivers: California sets minimum auto-insurance limits and uninsured/underinsured-motorist rules that affect what coverage is available.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
We handle personal injury claims on a contingency basis for qualifying cases — you pay nothing up front, and a fee applies only if we recover for you. The initial review is always free, and fee terms are confirmed in a written agreement.
How long do I have to file a claim in California?
Deadlines vary by state and by the type of claim, and they can be short — especially when a government entity is involved. Because a missed deadline can end a claim, the safest step is a free review right away.
What should I do right after an accident?
Get medical care, document everything, keep records, and be cautious about giving recorded statements to insurers before you speak with an attorney.
