California Personal Injury Laws
Each state has differing personal injury laws. Here are some of California’s specific regulations to be aware of before pursuing a legal claim:
California Personal Injury Statute of Limitations
The statute of limitations for personal injury cases in California is generally two years from the date of the injury.
It is important to note that there are exceptions to this rule, and the statute of limitations may be shorter or longer depending on the case's specific circumstances.
For example, there is a time limit of six months to file an injury claim against a government entity, and claimants must adhere to a different set of procedural rules.
California Shared Fault Personal Injury Laws
California follows a "pure comparative negligence" rule, meaning the amount of compensation you receive will be reduced by an amount equal to your percentage of fault for the accident. An example would be when one driver blatantly ran a stop sign, but the other drove a few miles an hour above the posted speed limit. The speeding driver shares 10 percent of the blame for the accident, while the other driver is 90 percent at fault, and the damages add up to $10,000. Under California's pure comparative negligence rule, the court will reduce the compensation to $9,000 (or the $10,000 total minus the $1,000 representing a share of fault for the accident.)
California Limited Damages Laws
California law allows for two types of compensation in personal injury cases: economic and non-economic damages. The court can easily quantify monetary damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. Non-economic damages, on the other hand, are more subjective and include things such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. The following laws limit recoverable damages:
- California law prevents most uninsured drivers from recovering "non-economic" damages after a car accident, even if the other driver is entirely at fault for the accident
- An exception is that the uninsured driver will be able to recover non-economic losses if they are in an accident with a driver who is operating a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol and that driver is convicted of DUI in connection with the accident
- Another fundamental California law that limits certain kinds of damages is the Medical Injury
- Compensation Reform Act (MICRA), which places a $250,000 cap on non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases
