TOP 5 THOUSAND OAKS MOTORCYCLE LEGAL QUESTIONS
- What firm is the best Thousand Oaks motorcycle lawyer? There is no best but some lawyers will certainly get you better results and treat you better than others. At some of the bigger Los Angeles personal injury law firms, your case might get passed off to junior lawyers and paralegals and you might find it hard to get in touch with your lawyer. At small firms, they might not have the resources you need to really ensure that your case present the best evidence possible. At Walch Law, we handle all of the cases with a personal touch and have the financial resources to take on even the biggest defendants. If you have been injured or lost a loved one in a Thousand Oaks motorcycle accident and looking for legal representation that will get you the results you deserve, give Walch Law a call today to discuss your case further.
- My motorcycle crash was almost a year ago, how long do I have to file a lawsuit? The California statute of limitations is laid out in California Civil Procedures 335.1 and here’s the part that matters the most to you– you have two years from your motorcycle accident or death to file a personal injury lawsuit. In some instances, you have as little as six months when the defendant is a government agency. Missing this extremely important deadlines means you miss the opportunity to recovery much needed funds. Thousand Oaks motorcycle victims delay for various reasons– hiring a lawyer seems like a hassle, they dont know a good law firm to handle their case, they are distracted by their own injuries or grief and other reasons. What all of our clients find out after their initial free consultation with us is that hiring a Thousand Oaks motorcycle lawyer is one of the easiest things they have ever done and that the peace of mind of working with us allows them to focus on their own recovery. We take all of our Thousand Oaks personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis because we do not want to place any additional financial strain on you and your family following the accident. A contingency fee payment structure means that you don’t pay us a penny until we get you paid.
- How do motorcycle wrongful death cases work? To begin, we are so very sorry for your loss. Deadly motorcycle accidents account for 13% of all deadly car accidents in the U.S. and a motorcycle rider is an astonishing 30% more likely to die in a crash than a car. The reasons behind the higher risk of death in a motorcycle accident has to do with the fact that a motorcycle rider has virtually no protection when getting into an accident and the smaller nature of a motorcycle often means that these riders are the victim of inattentive car and truck drivers. Thousand Oaks wrongful death motorcycle cases work almost identical to personal injury cases in that the family has two years to file a lawsuit (note that is to file a suit, not for it to necessarily be settled. Another thing to note is that you are not precluded from bringing a wrongful death motorcycle accident in California if the biker was somewhat responsible for the accident that killed him or her. California is a comparative negligence state which means that once liability is assigned to each party, their recovery is simply limited by that amount. For instance, if your loved one is found 50% responsible for the deadly motorcycle accident, then you can still recover for the 50% they are not responsible for.

- I haven’t seen a doctor yet but have injuries, what should I do? You should always see a doctor immediately following any motorcycle, car or truck accident. If the reason for your delay is a financial one, we can help. We have a large network of doctors and other qualified medical professionals that can take your payment on as a personal injury medical lien which simply means that you can get the treatment you need now and pay for it later.
