What Los Angeles Injury Victims Need To Know First
- Which agency wrote your report changes how you get it. The Los Angeles Police Department handles collisions on city surface streets. The California Highway Patrol handles freeway collisions, including the 5, the 10, the 101, the 110, and the 405. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department covers unincorporated county areas and contract cities. LAPD releases Traffic Collision Reports to authorised parties online or by mail through its Records and Identification Division, and advises allowing at least 45 days from the collision date. Reports involving an arrest, a fatality, or a juvenile are available by mail only.
- If a public entity may share fault, a separate and much shorter process applies. Claims against the City of Los Angeles are filed with the Los Angeles City Clerk’s Claims Department at 200 North Spring Street, Room 395. No other office can accept them. Claims against the County of Los Angeles go to the Executive Officer of the Board of Supervisors at 500 West Temple Street, Room 383. For death or injury to a person, California law requires presentation within six months of accrual.
- Metro and Caltrans are their own defendants. If a Metro bus or rail vehicle was involved, or if a condition on a Caltrans-maintained freeway may have contributed, the claim runs through that agency’s own presentation process, not through the at-fault driver’s insurer alone. Identifying the right public entity early is what protects the claim.
- Some Los Angeles evidence disappears in weeks, not years. Private security footage from businesses along corridors like Wilshire, Figueroa, Vermont, and Sepulveda is commonly overwritten on a short cycle. Signal timing records, roadway maintenance histories, and commercial vehicle telematics all have retention limits. A preservation demand sent early is often the difference between proving a condition and arguing about it.
- Where your case gets filed depends on where you were hurt. Since October 2022, Los Angeles County Superior Court requires personal injury cases to be filed in the judicial district where the incident arose. Cases filed in the Central District are assigned for all purposes to Independent Calendar departments at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse at 111 North Hill Street. The court publishes a filing court locator to identify the correct location.
- The scale is not abstract. In 2023, California Office of Traffic Safety rankings recorded 58,758 people killed or injured in Los Angeles County traffic collisions, 4,034 of them pedestrians. Separately, 7,398 fatal and injury collisions that year were hit-and-runs. A hit-and-run is one of the situations where uninsured motorist coverage on your own policy may be what pays.

Verdicts Our Trial Attorneys Have Won
A $17.9 million unanimous verdict against the County of Los Angeles involving two clients harmed in a serious crash. The jury determined the County was entirely at fault after a hard-fought trial that highlighted the clients’ long-term medical needs and the County’s denial of responsibility.
(representative California result)
A $3.5 million verdict for a client who suffered a traumatic brain injury in a 2017 collision. Before trial, the insurer initially offered $18,500 and later increased the offer to $300,000. After hearing medical testimony and evidence of the victim’s ongoing symptoms, the jury awarded damages for past and future pain and suffering and future medical care.
(representative California result)
A $41.95 million verdict for customers attacked inside a Walmart after a baseball bat left on the sales floor was used in the assault. A jury found Walmart partially responsible based on the evidence presented at trial.
No guarantee of outcome. Results displayed were dependent on the unique facts of that case, and different facts will bring different results.

Top Los Angeles Injury Cases We Handle
Most Los Angeles crash claims start with a Traffic Collision Report from LAPD, the CHP if the crash happened on a freeway such as the 101 or the 110, or the Sheriff’s Department in unincorporated areas. Which agency responded affects how you request the report and how quickly you get it. Our Los Angeles car accident lawyers handle claims across the city.
Freight moving between the ports and the Inland Empire puts heavy trucks on the 710, the 5, and surface streets through South Los Angeles and Vernon. Commercial carriers preserve driver logs, telematics, and maintenance records only for set periods, and a preservation letter often has to go out early. Our Los Angeles truck accident lawyers pursue the carrier, not just the driver.
Riders on the 405 through the Sepulveda Pass and on canyon roads above Sunset face left-turn collisions and drivers who change lanes without checking. California allows lane splitting, and insurers still try to use it to shift blame. Our Los Angeles motorcycle accident lawyers push back on rider-bias arguments and document what the crash scene actually shows.
Crossings along Vermont Avenue, Figueroa Street, and Broadway see steady pedestrian traffic, and signal timing, lighting, and sightline complaints can matter as much as driver conduct. When a City of Los Angeles roadway condition may have contributed, a separate claim process applies. Our Los Angeles pedestrian accident lawyers investigate both the driver and the roadway.
Riders using Venice Boulevard, the Los Angeles River path, and downtown bike lanes are frequently hit in dooring incidents and right-hook turns. Helmet use, lane position, and lighting all become insurer talking points. Our Los Angeles bicycle accident lawyers gather the video and witness accounts that settle those arguments before they reduce what a rider recovers.
Coverage in an Uber or Lyft crash depends on what the app was doing at the moment of impact, whether the driver was waiting, en route, or carrying a passenger. Pickups at the LAX-it lot and around Hollywood generate a high volume of these claims. Our Los Angeles rideshare accident lawyers obtain trip records that establish which policy applies.
Injuries in Koreatown apartment buildings, Wilshire Boulevard office properties, and retail parking structures turn on what the owner knew and when. Surveillance video and maintenance logs are often overwritten within weeks. Our Los Angeles premises liability lawyers move quickly to preserve those records and to identify the property manager, landlord, or contractor actually responsible.
California holds dog owners strictly liable for bites in most situations, which means a prior history of aggression is not required. Bites in the City of Los Angeles are typically reported to Los Angeles Animal Services, and that report becomes evidence. Our Los Angeles dog bite lawyers pursue the homeowner and renter policies that commonly cover these injuries.
High-rise and transit construction across downtown Los Angeles and the Wilshire corridor puts workers around falling objects, scaffolds, and heavy equipment. Workers’ compensation is often not the only avenue, because a third-party contractor, equipment owner, or property owner may also be liable. Our Los Angeles construction accident lawyers look past the comp claim for the full recovery.
How Injury Claims Work In Los Angeles
| Topic | What applies in Los Angeles |
|---|---|
| Police or crash report | LAPD for city surface streets. CHP for freeways. The Sheriff’s Department for unincorporated county areas. Request LAPD reports online or by mail through Records and Identification. Allow at least 45 days. |
| Public entity involvement | If a city, county, transit agency, or state roadway condition may have contributed, a written claim must be presented to that entity before a lawsuit can be filed. For death or injury to a person the presentation window is six months from accrual. City of Los Angeles claims go to the City Clerk. County of Los Angeles claims go to the Board of Supervisors. |
| Insurance and UM/UIM | California requires minimum liability coverage of $30,000 per person, $60,000 per accident, and $15,000 in property damage on policies issued or renewed since January 1, 2025. Serious injuries routinely exceed those limits. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage on your own policy is often what closes the gap, and it can also apply in a hit-and-run. |
| Evidence preservation | Private security footage along commercial corridors is frequently overwritten within weeks. Signal timing records, roadway maintenance histories, and commercial vehicle telematics all carry retention limits. Early written preservation demands protect the record. |
| Filing deadlines | Most injury lawsuits against private defendants in California carry a two-year limit from the date of injury. Claims involving a public entity require the six-month written presentation described above before suit. Other claim types follow different rules. In Los Angeles County, personal injury cases are filed in the judicial district where the incident arose, and Central District cases are assigned to Independent Calendar departments at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse. |
Government claim presentation deadlines, California Government Code section 911.2. Two-year limitations period for injury actions, California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. Minimum motor vehicle liability limits, California Vehicle Code section 16056. Deadlines vary by claim type and defendant. Nothing here is legal advice about your specific case.
