In Santa Clarita, the Deadline Can Be Six Months

California's general rule gives you two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. But in Santa Clarita, many accidents have a public entity behind them: a Santa Clarita Transit bus, a pothole on a city street, a Caltrans work zone on the I-5 or the 14, or a Los Angeles County truck. In those cases you first have to file an administrative claim within six months, and if that deadline passes, the case is closed for good.

That's why we answer right away: you call or write, a person answers in Spanish within minutes, and your case is evaluated in less than 24 hours, with the exact deadline you're facing and against whom. If you qualify, the lawyer starts requesting camera footage and locating witnesses that same week, before the evidence disappears.

Questions People Ask Us Before They Call

‍

"I don't have papers. Can I file a claim?"

Yes. The California Labor Code protects every worker regardless of immigration status, and the same goes for personal injury claims. The consultation is confidential.

"I got hurt at work, but it was my mistake."

You still have rights. Workers' compensation in California doesn't depend on who was at fault: if you were hurt doing your job, your employer's insurance must pay for your medical care and part of your wages while you recover.

"My boss says he doesn't have insurance."

In California, every employer with at least one worker is required to carry workers' compensation insurance. If they don't, they broke the law, and a state fund for employees of uninsured employers may cover your benefits.

"I work outdoors and the heat made me sick."

Summers in the valley often top 100 °F, and California law requires employers to provide water, shade, and breaks to anyone working outside. If the heat made you sick on the job, it may be a workers' compensation claim.

"The insurance company already called me."

Don't give recorded statements or sign anything before talking to us. The first offer is almost always much lower than what the case is worth.

What California Law Says About Your Case in Santa Clarita

‍

Two years, or just six months

Two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. Six months for the prior claim when the responsible party is the City of Santa Clarita, Santa Clarita Transit, Los Angeles County, Caltrans, or a school district. Knowing which one applies is the first thing we check.

You can recover even if you were partly at fault

California uses pure comparative negligence: if you were 30% responsible, you recover 70%. Insurers inflate your percentage because every point saves them money, and that's where a lawyer protects your money.

Minimum insurance is $30,000 per person

It went up in 2025, and even so a hospital stay uses it up fast. If the driver who hit you had no insurance or very little, your own UM/UIM coverage may pay: we review it for free.

At work, 30 days to report

Preferably in writing. Your employer must give you the DWC-1 form within one business day. If they refused, threatened you, or fired you for filing a claim, that adds to your case.
