California Personal Injury Law: What You Need to Know
Whatever caused your injury, a few California rules shape every case. Here are the essentials.
Two-Year Filing Deadline
Most California injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury (California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1). Claims against a government entity can be due in as little as six months, so timing matters.
Pure Comparative Negligence
California follows a pure comparative negligence rule. You can recover damages even if you were partly — or mostly — at fault; your award is reduced by your percentage of fault rather than eliminated.
What You Can Recover
California injury victims can recover economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, future care) and non-economic damages (pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life). We work on a contingency fee, so there is no cost unless we win.

Personal Injury FAQs
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
In California you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit (California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1). If a government entity is involved, you may have as little as six months to file a claim, so it is important to speak with an attorney quickly.
Can I recover money if I was partly at fault?
Yes. California follows a pure comparative negligence rule, so you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault — for example, 30% at fault on a $100,000 claim still recovers $70,000.
What types of damages can I recover in a personal injury case?
You can recover economic damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and future care costs, as well as non-economic damages such as pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. The right mix depends on the facts of your case.
How much does it cost to hire Frank Penney Injury Law?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee, which means you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. The initial consultation is always free.
