Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for 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. If the claim is against a government entity, you must file a claim within six months. Missing these deadlines can bar you from recovering compensation.
Do I need a lawyer for a minor car accident in Pacifica?
Even minor accidents can lead to hidden injuries or disputes over fault. A lawyer can help you evaluate your case and ensure you do not accept a low settlement. California law requires you to report any accident with injuries or property damage over one thousand dollars to the DMV.
What damages can I recover in a Pacifica car accident case?
You can seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. California does not cap non-economic damages in most car accident cases. Punitive damages may also be available if the driver acted with malice or gross negligence.
