Personal Injury Attorneys Holding People Accountable When Negligence Harms You

An injury can drastically change your life in a second, causing you to needlessly suffer due to another person’s negligence. However, in many cases, a personal injury claim can help you recover damages.

If someone else’s actions caused your missed hours at work, hospitalization or the loss of a loved one, the dedicated attorneys at Brad Gage Law, APC, will fight to get you the compensation you deserve. Numerous Californians have received large settlements for injuries sustained in the greater Los Angeles area. If you need help, our lawyers will work toward resolving your case on a contingency basis – you pay nothing until we reach an acceptable settlement on your behalf.

Statute Of Limitations For California Personal Injury Claims

California’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury or the date when the accident occurred. While the two-year deadline applies to many personal injury claims, there are several exceptions. For instance, cases involving government agencies have significantly shorter deadlines. If the responsible party for your injury is a state government agency, you only have six months to file a formal administrative claim.

On the other hand, for a medical malpractice claim, you must file suit within one year of discovering the injury, or three years from the date the injury occurred, whichever comes first. If the victim is under 18, they generally have until their 20th birthday to file a lawsuit, except in cases involving medical malpractice or government agencies.

Although California law may provide up to two years to file many personal injury lawsuits, waiting can seriously harm your case. Important evidence, such as surveillance footage, may be erased; accident scenes can change and witnesses’ memories may fade. Our experienced Woodland Hills personal injury attorneys can begin investigating immediately and help preserve this vital evidence.
