These walkthroughs explain California crash law as it plays out around Noe Valley and the rest of the San Francisco market. They open with neighborhood streets, Muni lines, and the freeways at the city’s edge, then point to official statute, court, and agency pages. They are a briefing, not advice on one wreck.
Begin with the walkthroughs on shared fault, the two-year window in California section 335.1, filing at 400 McAllister Street, and crash reports, plus the SR-1 duty described in section 16000 of the Vehicle Code. The set also covers post-January 2025 auto floors, uninsured coverage and Proposition 213, death and survival claims, motorcycle helmets and lane splitting, crosswalks on 24th Street, Church, and Castro, six-month notices when a Muni or city vehicle is involved, freight on 101 and 280, rideshare coverage after a pickup near 24th and Castro, the first days after a collision, and the clock for injured children.
Official wording is linked in each walkthrough. If a later insurance letter conflicts with a statute or a court page, rely on the official wording and the live agency page. The shorter companion pages collect legal-aid, fee, deadline, report, and courthouse contacts used in this market.
