Slip and fall lawyer California: your deadline
The first thing a California slip and fall lawyer checks is the clock. You have two years from the day you fell to file, under Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1.
Talks with the owner's insurer do not stop that clock. Only a lawsuit filed in court does.
How California splits the blame
California uses pure comparative fault. Your share of the blame lowers the award but never wipes it out. The rule is in state law.
Say a jury values the case at $40,000 and finds you 20 percent to blame. You would receive $32,000.
Public property in California
A fall on government property needs written notice first: 6 months under Government Code § 911.2. Miss it and the claim against the government can be gone.
What your California case is worth
The value comes from your bills, lost pay, how long you hurt, and the fault split above.
Answer four quick questions; the California rule is already set.
