        "text": "In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including those arising from truck accidents, is generally two years from the date of the injury. This means you typically have two years to file a lawsuit in court. However, there are exceptions that can shorten or extend this period, such as claims against government entities or cases involving minors. It's crucial to consult with a truck accident lawyer as soon as possible to understand the specific deadlines applicable to your situation and ensure your claim is filed on time.",
