Stockton Personal Injury by the Numbers (2024)
According to SWITRS and local ER data, San Joaquin County reported over 20,000 injury crashes, including 3,500 pedestrian or bicycle injuries, last year. Slip and fall incidents contributed to an estimated 10,000+ emergency room visits in Stockton alone.
In most personal injury cases in California, including those arising in Stockton and greater San Joaquin County, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit under the California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1. However, if your claim involves a city-owned property, government vehicle, or public agency like Stockton Unified School District or San Joaquin RTD, you must act quickly, claims against public entities require notice within just six months. It's critical to speak with a local personal injury attorney as soon as possible to avoid missing deadlines.
