In California, the responsibility for a motorcycle accident is determined based on the concept of negligence. Negligence refers to the failure to exercise reasonable care that a prudent person would have exercised in similar circumstances, resulting in harm or injury to another person.
In motorcycle accidents, liability or responsibility for the accident is typically attributed to the party whose negligence directly caused or contributed to the accident. This could be the motorcyclist themselves, another driver involved in the accident, or even multiple parties if their actions or negligence led to the collision.
In California, the statute of limitations for filing a motorcycle accident lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the accident. This means that you have two years to initiate legal proceedings by filing a lawsuit in court. If you fail to file within the prescribed time limit, you may lose your right to seek compensation for your injuries and other damages through a lawsuit.
However, it’s important to note that there can be exceptions and variations to the statute of limitations depending on the specific circumstances of your case. For instance, if the accident resulted in a fatality, different time limits may apply. Additionally, if the accident involved a government entity, such as a city or county, there might be different procedural requirements and deadlines to follow.
It’s always advisable to consult with a personal injury attorney who specializes in motorcycle accidents in California to understand the specific time limits and requirements that apply to your situation. They can provide you with accurate and up-to-date legal advice based on the details of your case.
Yes, lane splitting is legal in California under certain conditions. Lane splitting refers to the practice of a motorcycle riding between lanes of stopped or slow-moving traffic. In California, the California Vehicle Code (CVC) does not explicitly prohibit or authorize lane splitting, but it is recognized as a legal practice if done safely.
In 2016, California became the first U.S. state to formally legalize lane splitting by passing Assembly Bill No. 51. The law provides guidelines for safe lane splitting and empowers the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to develop educational guidelines to promote rider safety. These guidelines include factors such as the speed of traffic, the speed of the motorcycle, and the width of lanes.
