Understanding California Personal Injury Laws
There are many California personal injury laws that may affect your case, but one of the most important to know is the statute of limitations. According to California Code of Civil Procedure §335.1, you have no more than two years from the date of your accident or the date that you discover your injuries to take legal action. If you wait too long, you risk missing this deadline and losing your right to seek financial compensation forever.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have a valid personal injury claim?
You may have grounds to file a personal injury case in Orange County if someone else’s negligence (failure to act with proper care), wrongful act or wanton disregard for your safety caused your injuries. Our attorneys can review your case at no cost to determine whether it has merit. If so, we may offer to represent you in the fight for justice.
How long will my case take to resolve?
There is no one-size-fits-all timeline for achieving a personal injury settlement in California. The length of time your case will take depends on the details, such as its complexity and the severity of your injuries.
Some cases are resolved in a few months, while others take one year or longer. You can rest assured that our attorneys will do everything possible to resolve your case as quickly and efficiently as possible while maximizing your results.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
You may still be eligible for financial compensation if you were partially at fault. Don’t assume that you are automatically barred from making a financial recovery. Under California’s pure comparative negligence law, you could still receive a settlement or judgment award. However, it may be reduced by your percentage of liability.
How much compensation can I expect?
Personal injury case values can vary dramatically based on the extent of the victim’s injuries and losses. The best way to get an idea of how much your case is worth is by consulting with an attorney. Jacoby & Meyers will review your case and offer an honest and accurate estimate of its value based on your specific circumstances.
