California has a short statute of limitations. Specifically, victims of car accidents only have two years from the date of their collision to file a personal injury claim or lawsuit that seeks money damages. The statute of limitations is extremely unforgiving.
Therefore, if you fail to file within the two-year timeframe, you will forever waive your right to recover money damages for your car-accident-related injuries. Therefore, as soon as possible after your accident, speak with an experienced Eureka car accident attorney.
The knowledgeable legal team at Reiner, Slaughter, Mainzer & Frankel can ensure that your claim or lawsuit gets to the court system as soon as possible—and well within the two-year statute of limitations. Even if we file a lawsuit in your claim, we can continue negotiating a favorable settlement offer for the injuries that you suffered in your car accident. If the insurance company does not settle the case favorably, we can always litigate your case in court to a conclusion.
