Slip and Fall Statute of Limitations California
In most slip and fall cases, you have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit per California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.11.
However, if the responsible property owner is a public entity, you should file a notice of claim within six months. It should be noted that there are other exceptions to these deadlines that an experienced California slip and fall injury attorney could guide you through.
Failing to meet these deadlines could prevent you from pursuing compensation. Working with an attorney could help ensure that evidence, such as surveillance footage, witness statements, and maintenance records, is preserved before it is lost.
