In a nutshell, a statute of limitations refers to the maximum time that victims or a victim’s family have to file or initiate a claim or legal proceedings from the period an alleged catastrophic accident occurred. In California, you must file catastrophic injury claims in two years. Failure to file or initiate legal action against a party at fault will make your claim ineligible for negotiation in court. Thus, starting your catastrophic injury claim immediately after a life-changing injury is essential to avoid being caught up by the deadline.
