In California, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is generally two years from the date of the accident. If you fail to file within this time frame, you may lose your right to seek compensation. However, certain exceptions can apply. For example, if you’re filing a claim against a government entity, your deadline is cut down to six months. Or, if you were a minor at the time of your injury, your window to file doesn’t start until your eighteenth birthday.
