Introduction to Personal Injury Laws in San Diego

If you’ve been injured in San Diego due to someone else’s negligence, it’s important to understand your legal rights under California’s personal injury laws. San Diego follows the state’s civil code, which allows injured parties to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages caused by an accident.

California operates under a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning that even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you can still recover compensation—your award will simply be reduced by your percentage of fault.

In most cases, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a claim. However, certain cases, such as those involving government entities, have shorter deadlines.

Whether your injury was caused by a car crash, slip and fall, workplace accident, or defective product, having an experienced San Diego personal injury attorney by your side can help you navigate complex legal procedures, deal with insurance companies, and fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.
