How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?

In both California and Arizona, the standard time limit for filing most personal injury claims is two years. Specifically, this period begins from the date of the injury. However, if your claim involves a governmental entity, different rules may apply. Therefore, it is crucial to be aware of these deadlines to ensure that your claim is filed within the required timeframe.


 

Can I Still Pursue a Personal Injury Claim If I Was Partially at Fault?

Yes, you can still pursue a personal injury claim even if you were partially at fault. In such cases, the compensation you receive may be adjusted based on your level of fault. Consequently, it is important to consult with an attorney to fully understand your potential entitlements and how your degree of fault may affect your claim.


 

What Is a Contingency Fee?

In a contingency fee arrangement, the attorney’s compensation depends on the successful resolution of the case. In other words, the attorney receives payment only if they achieve a favorable settlement or verdict for the client. Thus, this arrangement aligns the attorney’s financial interests with the client’s success.

 


 

How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?

To determine if you have a valid personal injury claim, you typically must establish three crucial elements: a duty of care owed to you by the defendant, a breach of that duty, and damages arising from the breach. Therefore, consulting with a personal injury attorney is essential to assess the specifics of your situation.
