There is a two-year statute of limitations for pursuing a case in the event of a slip and fall accident. This state law covers the majority of negligence cases in California. This includes slip and fall injuries caused by the premises' responsibility. In this type of lawsuit, you may be able to reach an out-of-court settlement. In other slip-and-fall cases, the victim, their California Personal Injury Attorney, the property owner, and their insurer reach an arrangement.
