Personal injury is the legal area covering compensation for harm caused by another party's negligence — car/truck/motorcycle accidents, slip-and-falls, dog bites, medical errors, defective products, and more. In California, you generally have 2 years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit (6 months to notify a government entity under Cal. Gov't Code § 911.2). California uses pure comparative fault (Cal. Civ. Code § 1431.2): even if you were partly to blame, you can still recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault.
