The goal of a personal injury claim in California is for the injured plaintiff to prove fault for their injury and hold the defendant who injured them accountable for the damages they caused. If you believe that another party is responsible for injuring you or a family member, you have a limited time to pursue accountability and compensation.<\/p>\n<p>For most personal injury cases in California, the statute of limitations is<a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=335.1&amp;lawCode=CCP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> dos a\u00f1os<\/a>, starting on the date the injury occurred. If the victim does not file their claim within this time period, they lose their chance to recover compensation from the defendant. If the plaintiff does not file their claim within the statute of limitations, they will lose their chance to claim compensation from the defendant.<\/p>\n<p>Even if your case has merit and another party is clearly to blame for your injury, if you file the claim past the statute of limitations, then the defendant\u2019s attorney is likely to file a motion to dismiss the case on the grounds that you have missed the statute of limitations, and the court is likely to grant this motion.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to connect with legal counsel as soon as possible after your injury. It will likely take some time to gather the evidence you need to prove fault and to accurately assess the full extent of the damages you are eligible to claim. Since it can take longer than you expect to build a personal injury case, it\u2019s crucial to hire a personal injury lawyer you can trust as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-your-california-personal-injury-lawyer-can-help\"><\/span>How Your California Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Experienced legal counsel is a tremendous asset in any personal injury case, even if fault for the injury seems obvious. You will need an attorney\u2019s help to not only prove that the defendant caused your injury, but also that your claimed damages are direct results of the defendant\u2019s negligence or misconduct. This may sound straightforward, but building a successful claim could be more challenging than you expect.<\/p>\n<p>Success with a personal injury case requires proving that the defendant\u2019s negligence or misconduct directly resulted in your claimed damages. The evidence a plaintiff requires depends on the manner in which the defendant injured them. Whether you were hurt in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bentleymore.com\/es\/abogado-especializado-en-accidentes-automovilisticos-en-el-condado-de-orange\/\">accidente de tr\u00e1fico<\/a>, because of a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bentleymore.com\/es\/abogados-especializados-en-accidentes-por-resbalones-y-caidas-en-el-condado-de-orange\/\"> slip-and-fall<\/a> on private property, or in a workplace accident, your attorney can secure the evidence you need to establish liability for the injury.<\/p>\n<p>Seg\u00fan el<a href=\"https:\/\/skylab4.cdph.ca.gov\/epicenter\/_w_e1af70f6\/?Home-welcome\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> California Departamento de Salud P\u00fablica<\/a>, falls were the leading cause of hospitalizations statewide in 2024, resulting in 169,920 cases.
