How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?

In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of injury, and claims against a government entity often require a formal claim within six months. Because deadlines vary by case type and missing one can end the claim entirely, it is important to have the facts reviewed as early as possible.

Should I speak with the insurance company after an accident?

Be cautious. Adjusters may seek recorded statements or quick settlements before the full extent of your injuries and losses is known, and early statements can be used to reduce or deny a claim. Speaking with an attorney first helps protect the value of your case and ensures communications are handled strategically.
