If you were hurt skateboarding in California - hit by a driver, injured by a pavement defect, or hurt on private property - you may have a personal-injury claim. Public skate-park injuries face California's hazardous-recreational-activity immunity (Gov. Code § 831.7), but vehicle, premises, and equipment-failure cases are not barred. Two years to file under CCP § 335.1, or six months against a public entity (Gov. Code § 911.2). No fee unless we win.
Skateboarding cases come in three shapes - hit by a car, fell because of a road or premises defect, or the equipment failed. Each requires different evidence. Each needs fast action.
Head, wrist, and shoulder injuries are the most common in skateboarding crashes. The police report locks in the location, time, and any third party involved.
Name, license, plate, insurance. Photograph the cards. Get each witness's name and phone before they leave the scene.
Pavement crack, sidewalk lift, manhole edge, debris, oil - whatever caused or contributed to the fall. Photograph the board and trucks from multiple angles, especially if equipment failure is suspected.
Do not repair, replace, or throw anything away. For equipment-failure or premises cases, the physical evidence is critical.
Other skaters, drivers, store-front employees. Names captured at the scene matter more than statements weeks later.
Concussion, wrist fractures (FOOSH - fall on outstretched hand), shoulder injuries, and facial fractures often surface 24–72 hours later. ER documentation from day-of is the strongest medical evidence.
If a public entity is involved, the six-month notice-of-claim clock starts the day of the fall. We send the preservation letter and (where applicable) the government claim within days, not weeks.
If a public sidewalk, road defect, or city vehicle is involved, we serve the government claim fast. Miss the six-month deadline and you may lose your right to recover.
