What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, the time limit for initiating a civil action on a contract or obligation, including an insurance policy, is generally six years after the cause of action accrues. This bill changes the time limit to three years in those cases in which the contract is a motor vehicle insurance policy. The bill describes a motor vehicle insurance policy as a policy of insurance issued or delivered in this state against the insured's liability for loss or damage resulting from accident caused by any motor vehicle, whether the loss or damage is to property or to a person.

Current law also requires a person seeking to recover damages for injuries to the person or for death caused by the wrongful act, neglect, or default of another to initiate a civil action in three years. This bill changes the time limit for initiating a civil action to two years in those cases in which the death is caused by or arising from an accident involving a motor vehicle covered by a motor vehicle insurance policy.
