Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a car accident lawsuit in California?
In California, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is known as the statute of limitations. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation.
Do I need a lawyer for a minor car accident in Brentwood?
Even for minor accidents, a lawyer can help ensure you receive fair compensation for medical bills and vehicle damage. California law requires you to report accidents with injuries or significant property damage to the DMV. Consulting a lawyer can clarify your options.
How does California comparative fault law affect my case?
California uses a pure comparative fault rule. This means you can recover damages even if you are partially at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. A lawyer can help argue your share of fault.
