Injury law in California

How long do I have to file an injury claim in California?

Every state sets its own deadlines, fault rules, and insurance minimums, and they decide how much a case is worth and how fast you have to move. These are the California rules that come up in nearly every injury case we handle.

No fee until we winInjury and wrongful death cases are handled on contingency. You pay nothing up front and nothing unless we recover for you.
Deadline to file (injury)Generally two years from the date of injury (Code Civ. Proc. § 335.1).
Deadline to file (wrongful death)Generally two years from the date of death.
Claims against a city, county, or stateShorter: a government claim must be presented within six months of the injury (Gov. Code § 911.2) before any lawsuit against a public entity.
Shared faultCalifornia is a pure comparative negligence state (Li v. Yellow Cab): your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, but not barred.
Minimum auto liability coverage30/60/15 as of January 1, 2025: $30,000 per person, $60,000 per crash for bodily injury, and $15,000 for property damage. Serious injuries routinely exceed these limits, which is why we look for every policy: the other driver, the vehicle owner, your own underinsured motorist coverage, employers, and rideshare or commercial carriers.
Dog bitesCalifornia imposes strict liability on dog owners for bites (Civ. Code § 3342).
Off-road & OHVCalifornia requires a Green Sticker or Red Sticker for OHVs and a BLM permit for the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area. Glamis crashes are investigated by BLM rangers and the Imperial County Sheriff, and the claim follows the same negligence rules as a highway crash, with the added questions of passenger status, rental and borrowed machines, and manufacturer defects.
