Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for a personal injury case in California?
In California, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. For claims against a government entity, you must file a claim within six months. Missing these deadlines can bar you from recovering compensation.
How does California pure comparative negligence work?
Under California law, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 20% at fault for a car accident, you can still recover 80% of your damages. This rule applies even if you are 99% at fault.
What damages can I recover in a Martinez personal injury case?
You can seek economic damages like medical expenses and lost income, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering. In cases of gross negligence or intentional harm, punitive damages may also be available.
