California Accident and Injury Laws

State courts handle nearly all lawsuits and civil matters, including accident and injury claims. California injury law, as in other states, covers claims for professional and medical malpractice; slip-and-fall injuries; hazardous materials; intentional torts such as assault and battery; product liability; car accidents; and more. Accident and injury laws don't vary that much from one state to another, but states often have different statutes of limitations; limits on damages for certain types of claims; and other such regulations.
