FAQs About Personal Injury Cases in California
1. How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
California has a statute of limitations for personal injury cases. In most cases, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a claim.
However, certain exceptions may apply:
- Government Claims: If your injury involves a government entity, such as a city bus accident, you must file a claim within six months.
- Discovery Rule: If you didn’t immediately realize you were injured (e.g., in cases of medical malpractice), the two-year period starts from the date you discovered the injury.
If you’re unsure about your timeline, contact Tim Wright Law as soon as possible to ensure your rights are protected.
2. How is fault determined in a personal injury case in California?
California follows a comparative negligence system, which means fault is divided among all parties involved. Even if you were partially at fault for your injury, you can still recover compensation, but it will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
For example:
- If you’re found 20% at fault for a car accident and your damages total $100,000, you would receive $80,000.
Our attorneys at Tim Wright Law will thoroughly investigate your case to minimize your percentage of fault and maximize your compensation.
3. What should I do after a personal injury in California?
If you’ve been injured, taking the right steps can strengthen your case:
- Seek Medical Attention: Your health is the priority. Prompt treatment also establishes a record of your injuries.
- Document Everything: Take photos of the scene, your injuries, and any property damage. Keep records of medical bills and missed workdays.
- Avoid Discussing the Case: Don’t speak to insurance adjusters without consulting an attorney. Anything you say could be used against you.
- Contact an Attorney: At Tim Wright Law, we’ll handle the legal process and advocate for your best interests from start to finish.
Our team will ensure that no detail is overlooked, giving you the best chance at a successful outcome.
