Statute of Limitations on Sacramento Personal Injury Claims

If you have been injured as a result of someone else's negligence, it is crucial you act fast and speak with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure your compliance with all applicable legal deadlines. Under Section 335.1 of California's Code of Civil Procedures (CCCP), personal injury claims in Sacramento are subject to a two-year statute of limitations which requires injured parties to file a lawsuit with the courts within two years of their accident to preserve their right to seek compensation. This window of time may be even shorter for claims against government entities.

The sooner you contact our attorneys, the sooner we can begin gathering evidence and building a strong case that maximizes your chances of securing the compensation you deserve. Since memories can fade and key evidence can be lost as time passes, it is crucial you do not delay with retaining trusted representation.

Steps to Take After Suffering a Personal Injury

Experiencing a personal injury can be a traumatic and overwhelming event. It is important to take the right steps to protect your health, well-being, and legal rights. Here are some important steps to follow after suffering a personal injury:

Seek immediate medical attention: Your health should be your top priority. Even if your injuries seem minor, it is crucial to get a thorough medical evaluation to ensure there are no hidden injuries or complications.
Document the incident: Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any property damage. Collect contact information from any witnesses who saw the incident. This evidence can be valuable in supporting your personal injury claim.
Report the incident: Notify the relevant authorities about the accident, such as the police or property owner. This creates an official record of the incident, which can be useful when filing a personal injury claim.
Contact a personal injury lawyer: It is important to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney who can guide you through the legal process and protect your rights. They can help determine if you have a valid personal injury claim and negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf.
Keep records: Maintain a detailed record of all medical treatments, expenses, lost wages, and any other costs related to your injury. These records will be crucial in calculating your personal injury compensation.

At Smolich and Smolich, our Sacramento personal injury attorneys understand the challenges you may face after an injury. We are dedicated to providing personalized attention to our clients and fighting for fair and full compensation.

"Thank you Sarah and team!"
I needed to apply for disability and knew nothing about how to go about it. Sarah called me and explained the process and assured me everything would be okay. Her staff went online to fill out my application. She and Marlena kept me updated every step of the way. Within a short time a decision was made in my favor. I cannot tell you how many sleepless nights I had prior to meeting with the team. I would recommend them to anyone who needs help in this area. Thank you so much for all your hard work. Without you I could have never done this.

Thank you so much for all your help getting my award. I would personally recommend this law firm to anyone needing help with their claim.

"Fantastic and Wonderful"
Sarah Greer and Sam Eldaly from Smolich & Smolich are a fabulous team to work with. I had to apply for SSDI due to my Parkinsons and they handled it not only a professionals but as if they were sitting across the table from me in person the entire time. They are a dynamite team! I highly recommend them to anyone for a fantastic and timely managed experience. Thank you Smolich & Smolich!

"I am so happy to have such knowledgeable and helpful people to help during this difficult time. Sam was super responsive and always willing to answer questions, regardless how big or small."
My circumstances were a bit unusual - my husband applied for Social Security Disability, but unfortunately passed away during the review process. Sam and Sarah worked diligently to see the case through to the end, and provide our family the benefits we were owed. A special thank you to Sam, he was always very responsive, willing to go above and beyond, and willing to answer questions whether big or small. Thank you, Smolich and Smolich!
