Why Timing Matters
California imposes strict deadlines for filing personal injury claims:
- Two years from the date of the accident for most personal injury cases
- Six months if your claim involves a government entity
Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your right to compensation. Early legal action is critical.
Insurance Companies Are Not on Your Side
Insurance companies are focused on protecting their bottom line—not your recovery. They may offer quick, lowball settlements or pressure you to make statements that hurt your case.
With our firm representing you:
- We communicate directly with insurers
- We demand full and fair compensation
- We shield you from tactics designed to reduce your payout
