The new year has brought some recent changes to existing California personal injury law statutes, mainly related to what is known as “time-limited demands.”
Within the framework of personal injury law, such demands may be referred to as “time-limited settlement offers,” “policy limit demands,” “time limit demands,” or “998 offers to compromise,” all of which have long been regulated by California’s Code of Civil Procedures (Section 998).
It is not uncommon for crime victims to suffer injuries due to the conduct that has made them victims in the first place. It is less common for crime victims to be informed that they may be able to hold the perpetrators of that conduct liable in civil court. Far too often, the misperception persists that the only way to achieve justice for a crime that causes injury is for the perpetrator to be held accountable in criminal court.
Certainly, both personal injury and wrongful death claims can be difficult for families to handle. They take lots of time. Personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits are emotional processes. After losing someone or having a loved one sustain an injury, consider consulting with an attorney to handle your legal claims.
After you are hurt in an accident and think you should sue someone for your injuries, you may wonder just how long it will take to complete the lawsuit. All personal injury lawsuits take a different amount of time.
If you have been involved in an accident in California, you have the right to file a personal injury claim. A personal injury claim can be filed if the accident has affected your life in any negative way. You can receive monetary compensation for medical expenses and damages to your vehicle or other property.
