QUESTION:
What is the statute of limitations for a personal injury case?
ANSWER:
According to the California Code of Civil Procedure, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two (2) years. The two-year time limit applies to cases of “assault, battery, or injury to, or for the death of, an individual caused by the wrongful act or neglect of another” (CCP § 335.1).
It is best to work with a personal injury attorney to be properly guided on what to do if one has a personal injury claim against another.
