California Personal Injury Law — What Berkeley Residents Need to Know

California follows a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the accident. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault — but you are never completely barred from recovering compensation. This is more favorable than the contributory negligence rules in many other states.

The statute of limitations for personal injury in California is generally 2 years from the date of injury (CCP § 335.1). For claims against government entities — city of Berkeley, Alameda County, or the state — you have only 6 months to file a government tort claim. Missing this deadline can bar your claim. A late-claim application may be available in limited circumstances within one year under Gov. Code section 911.4 -- speak with an attorney immediately.

Personal injury cases in Berkeley are typically filed at the Alameda County Superior Court. HellaHurt's attorneys are experienced in Alameda County court procedures and have handled cases throughout the region.
