Video – Attorney Andrew Dósa Explains: How Long Do I Have To Start A Lawsuit In My Personal Injury Case?

Ray Hrdlicka – Presenter – Attorneys.Media

“So that actually raises the next question. In California law, how long does someone have to be able to bring a claim?”

Andrew Dósa – Personal Injury Lawyer – Alameda County, CA

“You have…you have two years from the date that you knew you got injured. With a collision, it’s pretty simple. You knew you got hit, that’s pretty straightforward. It gets a little more complicated if you have, say, a breach of contract case and you’re not sure that the other party has breached. You haven’t discovered evidence yet. You may think they breached, but you haven’t got more than a suspicion. It’s when you have a reasonable basis to say, ‘I know there has been a breach.’ At that time, the statute of limitations begins on that type of claim.”

“What is… three years?”

Andrew Dósa – Personal Injury Lawyer – Alameda County, CA

“It is between two years for an oral contract and four years for a written contract. Now, with personal injury, it’s two years.”

Ray Hrdlicka – Presenter – Attorneys.Media

“Two years?”

Andrew Dósa – Personal Injury Lawyer – Alameda County, CA

“You have two years for personal injury claims, bodily injury claims. And then you have three years for a property damage claim.”
