In most cases, California law gives you just two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. Claims against a city, county, or state agency may require a formal claim within six months. Waiting could cost you your case entirely.

Here's why acting quickly matters:

  • Evidence disappears: Video gets erased and unsafe conditions get repaired.
  • Memories fade: Witnesses recall less detail as time passes.
  • Insurance companies use delay to their advantage, not yours.
