Car Accident

A car wreck on 24th Street, along Church or Castro, or on the US 101 or I-280 approaches is still an ordinary California injury claim in most cases. section 335.1 usually allows two years to get an injury or death case filed lawsuit. Fault is divided into shares, so a mistake at an intersection can reduce a recovery without automatically closing the claim.

Liability floors for a policy whose issue or renewal date is January 1, 2025 or later, are the 30/60/15 minimums in Vehicle Code section 16056. Older unrenewed policies can still sit at 15/30/5. If a Muni or city vehicle is involved, Government Code section 911.2 can require a six-month claim. Request the crash paperwork from the department that worked the scene, often SFPD on neighborhood streets and CHP on a freeway.

The longer walkthroughs live in the guides on the two-year window, shared fault, crash reports, coverage floors, and filing at 400 McAllister Street. A work telephone published on an office page reaches an office in this market.
