If you were hurt in a California motorcycle crash, you generally have two years from the date of the wreck to file a personal-injury lawsuit under CCP § 335.1. California is one of the few states where lane splitting is legal (Veh. Code § 21658.1). No fee unless we win.
The defense will build their case around three claims: you were speeding, you were lane-splitting unsafely, or the driver "did not see you." These seven steps undercut each of the three.
On California freeways, CHP handles it; on surface streets, local PD. A written police report with the driver's statement locked in is critical.
Skid marks, debris field, sight lines, traffic controls, the driver's vehicle position. Multiple angles. The skid marks alone can establish speed.
Photograph the actual cards - handwritten notes get lost. Snap the VIN, the make and model.
Witnesses move on within hours. A name and number captured at the scene is worth more than an expert report months later.
Helmet, jacket, gloves, boots. Scuff patterns tell the story of impact. Bag and save the gear - do not throw it away.
Adrenaline masks injury. Internal bleeding, concussion, and orthopedic injuries often surface 24–72 hours later. Document the details from day one.
Anything you say in a recorded statement can be used against you. We send a preservation letter the same day - dash-cam footage, traffic camera video, and CHP body-cam evidence.
Motorcycle cases hinge on evidence captured in the first 72 hours. A preservation letter on day one keeps the truth on your side.
