How long after a car accident do I have to file a claim?
Personal injury claims after a car accident have varying statute of limitations. A statue of limitation is the amount of time someone has, to initiate legal proceedings from the date of the accident. If you wait too long, your claim can no longer be taken to court. In the state of California, you have
- Two years to file a claim for a car accident.
- Three years to file a claim for property damage resulting from a car accident.
- Six months to file a claim if you were involved in a car accident with a government entity. This could be public transportation, police vehicle, trash trucks, etc.
Due to the statute of limitations, it is imperative that you contact a car accident attorney to help you better understand the statute of limitations regarding your case.
Sometimes it takes months or years to heal from serious injuries but you will want to make sure that your case is filed in time, even if you are still healing. That being said, you will want to make sure you have a firm idea of the treatment plan you will need before settling your claim. However, waiting till the last minute is also a risk due to all the proper legal paperwork and requirements that must be filled out. If something were to go wrong in this step and your time ran out—your claim becomes worthless. Each case is different, which is why it is important to hire some of the best car accident lawyers in Calabasas at Walch Law.
