Frequently Asked Questions (San Diego Personal Injury)
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in San Diego?
Under California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1, the general statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. However, if your accident involved a government entity (such as an MTS bus, Trolley, or a city-owned vehicle), California law requires a formal administrative claim to be filed within just 6 months.
Do I have to go to court for my San Diego car accident case?
Most personal injury cases are settled out of court through aggressive negotiation with the insurance companies. However, if the insurer refuses to offer a fair settlement, our trial attorneys are fully prepared to file a lawsuit and take your case to trial at the San Diego Superior Court to secure the compensation you deserve.
What should I do immediately after a car accident in San Diego?
First, seek medical attention immediately, even if symptoms seem minor. Report the crash to the San Diego Police Department or CHP. Take photos of vehicle damage, road conditions, and visible injuries. Most importantly, do not give a recorded statement to insurance adjusters before consulting a personal injury lawyer.
