California Personal Injury Laws

Personal injury refers to any physical or mental harm caused to an individual due to the negligence or intentional actions of another party. It encompasses a wide range of incidents where a person suffers harm, and they may seek legal recourse to obtain compensation for their injuries.

The first thing to determine is whether you have a personal injury claim to make. The four points below can clarify whether you are eligible to file for compensation:

• Another party owed you a “duty of care.” This does not have to be a personal, individual duty. For example, anyone who drives owes a duty of care to other road users—they cannot speed, run stoplights, or do anything else that would endanger someone else.
• That duty of care was breached. You must clearly show negligence on the other party’s behalf.
• This negligence caused your injuries. There must be a clear link between the other party’s actions (or failure to act) and the way you were hurt.
• You suffered damages due to the injury. Damages can include things like hospital bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

California follows a "pure comparative fault" rule, allowing injured parties to seek compensation even if they were partially at fault for the accident. However, the amount of compensation is reduced by their percentage of fault.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in California?

How long you have to file a claim is determined by the statute of limitations. According to the California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in the state of California is two years.

The statute of limitations is a law which limits how long injury victims have to file a personal injury claim. More specifically, this means you have two years from the date your injuries were inflicted to file your claim, or you will lose your right to file and your right to pursue compensation. It’s important to note that there are exceptions that can change this time limit. The most notable exceptions include:

• If the injury victim was under the age of 18 at the time of the accident
• If the injury victim could not have reasonably known they had suffered harm
• If the alleged negligent party leaves the state of California before a claim could be filed

The statute of limitations has a big impact on your ability to file a claim so it’s important to speak to a member if our legal team about the specifics of your case as soon as you can.

When Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?

No one is legally required to work with a lawyer to file an injury claim, but we recommend it for multiple reasons. For one, our team can take the phone calls and paperwork off your hands, so you can dedicate your energy to recovering. We can also help you identify the multiple types of compensation you are eligible for and negotiate with an insurer. Bringing an attorney to the table, especially one from a well-known firm like Robins Cloud LLP, shows you are serious about receiving the settlement you need.
