How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in California?

In California, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is generally two years from the date of the injury. However, there are some exceptions and intricacies involved, such as in medical malpractice or when the injured party is a minor. If the injury wasn’t discovered right away, you have one year from the data the injury was discovered. There are some nuances to consider, and it’s essential to be aware of these timelines because if you miss the deadline, your case may be dismissed.
