        "text": "In California, the general statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit, including those stemming from a dog bite, is two years from the date of the injury.

It's crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible after an incident to ensure all deadlines are met and your legal rights are protected.",
