Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
i was involved in a hit a run 2 years ago,managed to write down the license plate and called the police. I made a report and found out later that police caught the other driver. At the the moment I had full coverage with a deductible of $500 which i did not have on the date of the incident either way damage was estimate of $900.00 so i looked around for body shops that would fix the damage and charge me in payments. The body shop did not take insurance claims, but we did work out a agreement to pay payments. The body shop charged me a total of $940.00. It is now 1/6/11 I wanted to know if i can still take the other driver to court in order to get some or all of my money returned for it being all the other drivers fault. I have receipts and estimates , and pictures. Thank You.

You have three years from the date of the damages to file suit.
The previous answer is correct. The statute of Limitations for property damage claims is 3 years from the date of accident. If you sustained personal injuries the statute for that is 2 years.
