State courts handle nearly all lawsuits and civil matters, including accident and injury claims. California injury law, as in other states, covers claims for professional and medical malpractice; slip-and-fall injuries; hazardous materials; intentional torts such as assault and battery; product liability; car accidents; and more. Accident and injury laws don't vary that much from one state to another, but states often have different statutes of limitations; limits on damages for certain types of claims; and other such regulations.
