California personal injury law allows injury and accident victims to bring claims and lawsuits against the wrongdoers responsible for causing the harm. However, with a statute of limitations of just two years from the date of the injury, victims must act quickly to bring their claims. Most personal injury attorneys, including the ones at our law firm, work on a contingency fee basis. This means victims do not need to pay legal expenses out of pocket – the lawyers are paid as a percentage of the settlement after it is collected.
