Car Accident

A car crash on San Vicente, Wilshire, Sunset or a Westside freeway ramp is the most common file on this site. The first weeks still turn on the same practical pieces. Get medical care, request the crash report, find the declarations page and put the two-year lawsuit date on a calendar. California compares fault under official instruction CACI 405, with no half-fault cutoff in that instruction, and a policy first written or renewed from January 1, 2025 onward, has a thirty / sixty / fifteen liability floor under Vehicle Code 16056.

The week-by-week guide is a starting point. If a City or County vehicle is involved, the six-month claim date in the government-claims guide arrives much earlier than the two-year date.
