Why Los Angeles motorcycle accidents cases are different
Los Angeles drivers spend more time stuck in traffic than drivers in any other US metro. That volume produces tens of thousands of injury claims a year on the 405, 10, 110, and 101 alone.
Local context we account for
- Freeway pile-ups on the 405, 10, 110, and 101
- Rideshare and food-delivery crashes downtown, in Koreatown, and on the Westside
- Pedestrian fatalities along Vermont, Western, and Figueroa corridors
- Cases filed in Los Angeles Superior Court — Stanley Mosk Courthouse and Spring Street
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.
