Statute of Limitations

What is the statute of limitations in California? For personal injury, it’s two years (medical malpractice is different). If you are injured in a car accident, slip and fall, trip and fall, dog bite, or any personal injury matter, you have TWO YEARS FROM THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT to file a lawsuit in California before you can no longer seek recovery for your injuries. Consult an attorney before it’s too late to understand what your rights are.
