California Personal Injury Laws

Understanding California’s personal injury laws is essential for anyone pursuing a claim. Here are the key laws that may impact your case:

Car Accident Liability

Under California Vehicle Code § 17150, “Every owner of a motor vehicle is liable and responsible for death or injury to person or property resulting from a negligent or wrongful act or omission.” In other words, liability for a collision will fall on the party responsible for causing the crash. 

Statute of Limitations
In California, you have two years from “an action for assault, battery, or injury to, or for the death of, an individual caused by the wrongful act or neglect of another” (California Code of Civil Procedure sections 335.1) to file a lawsuit. If you fail to file within this time frame, you may lose your right to seek compensation. For property damage claims, the deadline is three years. If your case involves a government entity, you must file a claim within six months.

Comparative Negligence
The state follows a pure comparative negligence rule. California Civil Code Section 1714(a) says that:

“Everyone is responsible, not only for the result of his or her willful acts, but also for an injury occasioned to another by his or her want of ordinary care or skill in the management of his or her property or person, except so far as the latter has, willfully or by want of ordinary care, brought the injury upon himself or herself.”

This means that even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you can still recover damages. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found to be 20% responsible, your compensation will be reduced by 20%.

Damage Caps
While California does not place caps on economic or non-economic damages in most personal injury cases, there is an exception for medical malpractice claims. Non-economic damages (such as pain and suffering) were capped at $350,000 under state law. With the passage of Assembly Bill 35, the cap has increased in 2024 to $390,000 for non-death cases and $550,000 for wrongful death cases. Over the next decade, these limits will gradually rise, reaching $750,000 for non-death cases and $1 million for wrongful death cases by 2033.

Why You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer

After an accident, you may wonder whether you need legal representation. While it might be tempting to handle it on your own, a Perris personal injury lawyer provides invaluable support by protecting your rights and maximizing your chances of recovering compensation. Here is how an attorney can help:

Thorough Investigation

Lawyers conduct detailed investigations to gather evidence, such as accident reports, witness statements, medical records, and surveillance footage. They work with experts, like accident reconstruction specialists or medical professionals, to strengthen your claim.  

Accurate Valuation of Your Claim

Lawyers calculate the full extent of your damages, including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care costs. This ensures you seek the appropriate compensation for both immediate and future losses.  

Handling Insurance Companies

Insurance adjusters often prioritize minimizing payouts. Without legal representation, victims may accept low settlements that do not cover their expenses. An attorney will handle negotiations, ensuring you are not taken advantage of during the process.  

Navigating Legal Procedures

Personal injury claims involve strict deadlines, legal paperwork, and complex laws. An attorney ensures all filings are accurate and on time, reducing the risk of errors that could jeopardize your claim.  

Trial Representation

If negotiations fail and a settlement cannot be reached, a personal injury lawyer is prepared to take the case to court. They will present your case before a judge or jury to fight for the compensation you deserve.
