Why does the statute of limitations in a California personal injury case?

The statute of limitations is the timeframe within which you must file your personal injury lawsuit in California. For most personal injury claims in California, this period is two years from the date of the injury. The reason this is important is because failing to file within this window typically results in losing your right to seek compensation, no matter how serious your injuries are. That is why it’s crucial to be aware of these timelines to protect your rights.
