And if I pretty close to the due date can I still start filing lawsuit? Do I need time to send them claim first etc? Thanks a million.

Under the California Code of Civil Procedure, section 335.1, states that you have two years from the date of the injury in which to file your complaint. This statute of limitation does not involve a government actor. You MUST consult with an attorney as soon as possible so that you do not waive any possible claims for recovery of your injuries.

For a personal injury you have two years to file a lawsuit. If you miss the deadline you are pretty much out of luck.

There is a two year statute for assault and battery. If a public entity is involved, e.g., the police, you had to file a government claim within six months of the date of the assault. Then you must follow all the rule for pursing a government claim.
