Start free case reviewKey California deadlines
- 2 years from the injury date to file most personal injury lawsuits (Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1).
- 3 years for most property damage claims, such as vehicle damage (CCP § 338).
- 6 months to file a government claim if a city, county, state agency, or public bus (e.g., Metro) is involved (Government Code § 911.2).
- 10 days to file an SR-1 report with the DMV when there is injury, death, or over $1,000 in damage.
Exceptions exist (for example, minors and delayed discovery). Deadlines depend on the facts, so don't wait to get advice.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
For most personal injury lawsuits, the deadline is 2 years from the date of injury (CCP § 335.1). Property damage claims generally have 3 years. If a government entity is involved, a claim must usually be filed within 6 months. There are exceptions, so get advice early.
How much does it cost to talk to you?
The case review is free. We work on a contingency fee: no fee unless we recover for you. Clients may be responsible for case costs depending on the fee agreement; fees and costs are set out in a written contingency agreement.
What if I was partly at fault?
California uses pure comparative fault. You may still recover damages, reduced by your percentage of fault.
Who pays if I was hurt in an Uber or Lyft?
It depends on the driver's app status. During an accepted ride, California requires $1 million in rideshare liability coverage. Other periods have different coverage. Uninsured/underinsured rules for rideshare changed on January 1, 2026.
