Asked on Jun 27th, 2014 on Slip and Fall - California
More details to this question:
personal injury(fell in market wet floor) (fx rt knee) 7/11/13, hired lawyer same day, had surgery 9/5/13, had pt, and released. Lawyer stated he mailed complaint to court. Seems wrong to me. I believe coming up on a year now.
In California, you have two (2) year to bring an action for personal injuries unless it involves a claim against a governmental entity. There is nothing wrong mailing the complaint to court although our firm usually electronically files the same.
Hi,
The statute of limitations is 2 years for a personal injury in California, so you have plenty of time to file if a complaint has not been filed at this point in time. Feel free to let me know if you have any additional questions.
Thanks,
Jon
