California Personal Injury Statute of Limitations

California attorney J oe Modlin is the principal legal practitioner at

death, elder law, and personal injury cases, he helps clients
recover injury expenses under state law.

In the State of California, individuals wishing to file a personal
injury lawsuit must do so within the statute of limitations. A statute
of limitations is a deadline before which a case must be filed in
order to maintain legal relevance. For cases where the injury is
known, a lawsuit can be filed within two years of the incident.

There are exceptions to the norm that involve cases against
government entities. Personal injury cases involving a
government office require an administrative claim to be filed with
the accused agency within six months of the injury. The claim is
reviewed by the government agency for approval or denial, and
the claimant receives a notice outlining the final decision within 45
days. If the claim is denied, the claimant may proceed with filing a
formal lawsuit with the court within six months of the rejection
notice.
