What is the statute of limitation period for an action brought by a person who was injured in a motor vehicle accident?

Where a nuisance is considered permanent, the limitations period runs from the time the nuisance is created. (Phillips v. City of Pasadena (1945) 27 Cal.2d 104, 107, 162 P.2d 625.) "On the other hand, if the nuisance may be discontinued at any time it is considered continuing in character. [Citations.] Every repetition of a continuing nuisance is a separate wrong for which the person injured may bring successive actions for damages until the nuisance is abated, even though an action based on the original wrong may be barred." (Id., at pp. 107-108, 162 P.2d 625.)
