Time Limits to File an Injury Claim After a Crash in California
After a car accident in California, in most cases, the statute of limitations allows two years from the date of the crash to begin legal action. Missing this deadline can prevent someone from pursuing compensation later.
Medical treatment, accident reports, and insurance paperwork often take time to organize. A car accident lawyer can help explain what deadlines may apply and review what options may be available.
