How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Merced?

Most California personal-injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury (Code of Civil Procedure §335.1). Claims against a government entity are much shorter — generally a written claim within six months (Government Code §911.2). Exceptions run in both directions, so call us to confirm the deadline that applies to your case.

Deadlines that matter

Most California personal-injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury (Code of Civil Procedure §335.1). Miss the window and the court will almost always dismiss the case, no matter how strong it is.

Claims against government entities are much shorter — generally a written claim within six months (Government Code §911.2). Crashes involving city vehicles, public buses, or dangerous public-road conditions can fall under this rule.

Exceptions exist in both directions — discovery rules, minors, continuing violations, out-of-state defendants — so don't assume your deadline has passed or that you have time to spare. Call (818) 539-7969 and we'll tell you exactly where you stand.
