Why Burbank motorcycle accidents cases are different
Burbank's studio traffic, Hollywood Burbank Airport, and the 5/134 interchange combine to produce thousands of injury collisions a year in just a few square miles.
Local context we account for
- Studio-area commuter crashes near Warner Bros, Disney, and Universal
- Airport-pickup and rideshare incidents at Hollywood Burbank Airport
- 5/134 interchange and Olive Avenue rear-end collisions
- Cases filed at Burbank Courthouse or Pasadena Courthouse depending on venue
California law that governs your claim
- Filing deadline. Two years from the date of injury under Code of Civil Procedure §335.1. Claims against a city, county, Caltrans, or other public entity require a six-month government claim under §911.2.
- Fault rule. California is a pure comparative negligence state. Even at significant fault, an injured person can still recover — the award is reduced by their share of responsibility.
- Damages. Recovery includes past and future medical care, lost income and earning capacity, property damage, and pain and suffering.
About motorcycle accidents claims
California is the only state that expressly permits lane-splitting (Vehicle Code §21658.1). That alone changes how a motorcycle case is investigated and argued. We work with crash-reconstruction experts and treating physicians to document what actually happened — not what the adjuster wants to believe.
