Time Is Limited—Act Now
In California, personal injury claims must typically be filed within two years from the date of the accident (California Civil Code §335.1). Workers’ compensation claims and other workplace-related cases may have additional deadlines. Acting quickly ensures that critical evidence, such as safety logs and witness accounts, is preserved.
