What to Do After a Fatal Motorcycle Accident in Los Angeles, CA

1. Seek legal guidance promptly. In fatal crash investigations, evidence such as skid marks, vehicle positioning, and surveillance footage can disappear quickly. Consulting with an attorney early can help preserve critical information.
2. Do not speak with insurance companies before consulting an attorney. Insurance adjusters may contact surviving family members shortly after an incident. Individuals are not required to provide a statement or accept any offer before obtaining legal representation.
3. Do not sign any documents. No release, settlement offer, or authorization of any kind should be signed without legal guidance. Once signed, those rights may be permanently waived.
4. Obtain the official crash report. Once released by the California Highway Patrol, the official report can be an important document for any future legal proceedings.

Timing considerations: Under California law (Code of Civil Procedure §335.1), wrongful death and personal injury claims are generally subject to a two-year statute of limitations from the date of the incident.
