Time Limit in California to File a Car Accident Claim
Having been injured in a car wreck in Moreno Valley, you have the right to make a claim for compensation & damages against a negligent driver and their insurance company. In California, the time limit to file a lawsuit for a car accident claim is 2 years from the date of accident. This is called the “Statute of Limitations” and is set by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 340. The statute of limitations for minors is extended until they reach 18 years old.
What are the Most Common Causes of Car Accidents?
1) Distracted Driving – drivers who are distracted by their phone, stereo, eating or other devices or distractions can’t dedicate their entire attention to driving or upcoming dangers.
2) Speeding – If someone is driving 10-20 mph over the speed limit, not only do accidents happen much faster, but reaction time is reduced and the time it takes to stop is exponentially increased.
3) Drunk Driving – Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs causes reaction time to be significantly reduced, a decrease in depth perception, and a general slow down of cognitive abilities.
4) Reckless Driving – Speeding, tailgating, traffic weaving are all good indications that an accident is about to happen. Unfortunately we get a front row seat to this behavior in Southern California traffic every day.
5) Inclement Weather – You’ve heard it before – Californian’s don’t know how to drive in the rain, (sometimes not even in perfect weather). Rain, wind, snow and even extreme heat can all cause thier own problems when driving.
