I live in California Los Angeles and I was in a car accident a couple of months ago, I was wondering how many months or years do I have to suit this person? He was driving with no insurance and no driver license. My insurance company called his house his never home and we can’t get in touch with him. I have decided I will take it a step further and I am planning on suing him, but I can’t remember how much time I have to do this claim.
You have 2 years before the statue of limitation takes place. So you have 24 months from the date of the incident..

I may get thumbs down for this answer but ignore them. Most of my Uncles are Attorneys and I have been through this myself.
