How long do I have to sue over personal injury in California?

Answered for: California

335.1. Within two years: An action for assault, battery, or injury to, or for the death of, an individual caused by the wrongful act or neglect of another.

In California you have 2 years to sue over personal injury. When that clock starts, and whether anything can pause it, are separate questions this entry does not answer.
