For a new civil case in Los Angeles County, the Superior Court lists the Civil Case Cover Sheet Addendum and Statement of Location (LACIV109) among the required initial filing documents.

Deadlines and exceptions
California Courts states that the general deadline to sue for a personal injury is usually two years from the date of injury, while different rules and exceptions may apply. Claims involving a California government agency generally require an administrative claim before a lawsuit, and an injury or property-damage claim typically must be submitted within six months. California medical-malpractice claims follow a different limitations rule: generally three years after the injury or one year after discovery, whichever occurs first, subject to statutory exceptions and special rules for minors.

Official forms and guidance
The Judicial Council provides optional form PLD-PI-001 for a complaint based on personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death, and the complaint must include at least one cause of action. California Courts recommends checking available insurance because it may cover some costs or affect what remains in dispute.

What to ask before contacting a personal injury lawyer
These questions are general decision support, not legal advice or a ranking of the listed profiles.
Does the lawyer handle your specific type of claim?
Injury practices may focus on different claim types, so confirm directly whether the matter is a fit.
How are attorney fees and case-related costs handled?
Clarify fee terms and responsibility for costs before deciding whether to engage a lawyer.
Who will handle the matter day to day?
Ask whether an attorney, associate, paralegal, or case manager will be the regular point of contact.
How will updates and settlement offers be communicated?
Ask how often updates are provided and who communicates important developments or offers.
What happens if the matter does not resolve through negotiation?
Ask about the lawyer's approach and relevant litigation experience without assuming that litigation or trial will occur.

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in California?
California Courts states that the general deadline is usually two years from the date of injury. That is not a universal deadline: government claims, medical malpractice, delayed discovery, minors, and other circumstances can involve different rules or exceptions, so the deadline for a particular matter requires individual review.

Is the deadline shorter for a claim against a California government agency?
Usually, yes. California Courts says a person generally must submit an administrative claim to the government agency before suing, and an injury or property-damage claim typically must be submitted within six months.

Where is a California personal injury case usually filed?
California Courts says venue is usually in the county where the injury happened or where the defendant lives or does business. The correct courthouse and filing location can depend on the parties and events in the case, so the county and local court instructions should be checked before filing.

Does California use the same deadline for medical malpractice claims?
No. California Code of Civil Procedure § 340.5 generally requires a medical-malpractice action within three years after the injury or one year after the plaintiff discovers, or reasonably should have discovered, the injury, whichever occurs first. The statute also contains tolling provisions and separate rules for minors.
