If you were injured in a preventable accident, then you likely have reasonable cause for a personal injury claim. By contacting our firm, we can help you make this determination.

Personal injury lawsuits are subject to California's statute of limitations, a set of laws that limits the amount of time you have to file for personal injury compensation. You must file a personal injury lawsuit within two years of the accident or the date you discovered the injury. If you are filing suit against a government entity for personal injury, you only have six months.

However, different limitations may apply to other cases, such as medical malpractice, assault, and battery, etc, and you should always consult an attorney to discuss your individual case as soon as possible.

When selecting a legal professional to represent your case, it is important to find someone with high credentials and worthy memberships. These are indicators of an attorney's dedication and skills.
