California, like other states, has a statute of limitations for personal injury claims. This deadline means we have two years from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit against the at-fault motorist. In most cases, we attempt to negotiate a fair settlement with the at-fault driver’s insurance company before taking further legal action. If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, however, we are not afraid to pursue litigation to get the full value of your case. We will not hesitate to continue your case in civil court, where we can ask the judge for justice through a fair financial award.
