Los Angeles County Superior Court hears civil personal injury cases at Stanley Mosk Courthouse downtown and at district courthouses by venue. The I-405 / I-10 / I-110 freeway grid carries some of the heaviest commuter and commercial traffic in the country, and the Port of LA / Long Beach drayage corridor on I-710 is a major source of truck accident volume. Claims against the City of Los Angeles, LA County, or LA Metro must be presented within 6 months under Cal. Gov. Code § 911.2.

California is not a no-fault state. Proposition 213 may limit noneconomic damages for uninsured drivers under Cal. Civ. Code § 3333.4. Government vehicles, dangerous public roads, and public employees can trigger a much shorter claim deadline.

California generally gives you two years to file a personal-injury lawsuit under Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 335.1. Property-damage claims generally have a three-year deadline under § 338, and public-entity claims can require a government claim within six months under Gov. Code § 911.2.
Many independent accident attorneys work on contingency, which usually means no upfront attorney fee and no attorney fee unless there is a recovery. Fee terms vary by attorney and case, so review the agreement before signing.
