Get medical attention right away and report the crash to law enforcement if it is safe to do so. Document the scene, gather contact information, and avoid discussing fault.

In most cases, California law allows two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. Shorter deadlines may apply if a government entity is involved.

Case value depends on factors such as injury severity, medical costs, lost income, and how the accident affects daily life. Liability and available insurance coverage are also considered.

Medical bills may be paid through health insurance, medical payment coverage, or other available benefits. Reimbursement issues are typically addressed as the claim moves forward.

Other coverage options may be explored, such as uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Each situation depends on the policies involved and the facts of the crash.

Compensation may include damage to your motorcycle, helmet, and riding gear. Loss of use may also be considered depending on the circumstances.

Important evidence can include police reports, photos, video footage, witness statements, and medical records. Timely preservation of evidence can be critical.
