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

In West Covina and throughout the state of California, you are only allowed to file a claim within 2 years from the day of your accident (California CCP § 335.1). If you miss this deadline, you may not be able to file a lawsuit to collect compensation for your injuries.

If you believe that you may have already missed the deadline for filing a claim, call us. We can review your case and help determine if you are still eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit.

What Damages Can I Collect if I’ve Been Injured?

California is a fault or tort state. That means that injured parties must prove that someone else caused their accident and injuries before there is legal liability. Once liability is established, then accident victims can seek damages – either economic or non-economic. Economic damages are damages that can be calculated easily by reviewing bills or receipts. Economic damages include:

  •   Medical expenses
  •   Future medical expenses
  •   Lost wages
  •   Loss of future earnings
  •   Personal property damage

Non-Economic damages are more personal in nature and are difficult to calculate. These damages include:

  •   Loss of companionship
  •   Decreased quality of life
  •   Emotional distress
  •   Pain and suffering

Should I Take the Settlement?

Insurance companies are not on your side. They have never been. In fact, their main objective is to pay you as little as they can. As a result, many injured accident victims are left with far too little money and mounting debt. This is why you should never sign any settlement with the insurance company without first speaking to an experienced West Covina personal injury lawyer.

Your lawyer will review all the aspects of your accident, clearly establish liability, and build a case that is designed to obtain maximum compensation. Sadly, insurance companies know that accident victims need money now. That’s why they usually persuade victims to take the initial settlement by using pressure tactics that are in the insurance company’s best interest – and not yours.
