Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a car accident lawsuit in California?
In California, the statute of limitations for most car accident injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to sue. It is important to consult a lawyer promptly.
Do I need a lawyer for a minor car accident in Rancho Santa Margarita?
Even for minor accidents, a lawyer can help ensure you receive fair compensation. California law requires drivers to carry liability insurance, but insurance companies may offer low settlements. A lawyer can review your case and advise on the best steps.
How does California pure comparative negligence affect my claim?
California uses pure comparative negligence, meaning you can recover damages even if you are partially at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 20 percent at fault, you can still recover 80 percent of your damages.
