What is the applicable statute of limitations for an action brought by a plaintiff in her personal injury case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Worton v. Worton, 234 Cal.App.3d 1638, 286 Cal.Rptr. 410 (Cal. App. 1991):

Citing Robinson v. McGinn (1987) 195 Cal.App.3d 66, 240 Cal.Rptr. 423, plaintiff contends the statute of limitations in section 340.6 is tolled until the actual injury caused by the attorney's wrongful conduct becomes irremediable. Plaintiff argues that the harm she sustained when the judgment was entered has not become irremediable because under Civil Code section 4353 she may file a postjudgment motion or order to show cause in the dissolution proceeding to obtain adjudication of the excess assets omitted by the judgment. 5
