EP #3: Understanding Statute of Limitations in Personal Injury Cases
Manage episode 497249190 series 3680405
Attorney Alessandro Assanti breaks down California's complex statute of limitations framework, revealing the crucial time windows that govern different types of injury claims. Most Californians don't realize they have just two years to file standard personal injury lawsuits, three years for property damage claims, and a mere six months when government entities are involved. Medical malpractice victims face particularly challenging deadlines: one year from discovery with a maximum three-year outer limit regardless of when the injury was discovered.
Whether you've recently been injured or suspect you may have a claim from the past, understanding these time limitations could be the difference between receiving fair compensation or having your case dismissed without consideration.
