Hurt on PCH? Get Someone in Your Lane.
Car, motorcycle, pedestrian, e-bike and semi-truck crash help from Malibu to Palos Verdes and across the 310. Free case review.
One driver drifted, and now you're dealing with injuries, a wrecked bike or car, and bills.
The insurance company is moving fast, and you're still trying to heal.
On a road this beautiful, a careless choice shouldn't cost you your life as you knew it.
Crashes we handle
From the 405 to the Strand, we know these roads.
Also handling rideshare crashes (Uber, Lyft) and uninsured or hit-and-run crashes across the 310.
Car crashes
Rear-ends, intersection T-bones, wrong-way drivers and freeway pile-ups on the 405, PCH and every surface street in between.
Motorcycle and lane-splitting crashes
Lane-splitting is legal in California — but drivers still cut off riders. We know how these cases work and how insurers try to shift blame.
Pedestrian, bike and e-bike crashes
The Strand, beach-town crosswalks and bike lanes from Malibu to Palos Verdes. Drivers and e-bike riders share tight space — when something goes wrong, we help.
Semi-truck and commercial-vehicle crashes
The 405, the 110, the 105 and PCH all carry heavy commercial traffic. Truck crashes often involve multiple liable parties — we sort through it.

What to do
The first 72 hours after a crash
These steps may help protect your health and your claim.
Call 911 and stay at the scene.
Get police and paramedics on the way. A police report creates an official record of what happened.
Get checked out — even if you feel okay.
Adrenaline can mask pain. Some injuries, like concussions and soft-tissue damage, may not show up for hours or days. A same-day medical visit documents your condition.
Photograph everything you safely can.
Vehicles, road conditions, skid marks, traffic signals, your injuries, the other driver's license and insurance card. Video is even better.
Get witness names and contact info.
Bystanders may not stick around. A name and phone number takes 30 seconds and may matter a great deal later.
Be careful what you say to insurers.
You are not required to give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer. A brief, factual statement to your own insurer is usually fine — but call us first if you can.
Contact us before deadlines pass.
California injury claims have deadlines. Claims involving a city, county or state agency may have much shorter notice periods. Acting early protects your evidence and your options.
Crash FAQ
Plain-English answers
What waiting can cost
California has deadlines for injury claims, and claims against a city, county or the state can have much shorter notice periods. Business and traffic video gets recorded over, and e-bikes and vehicles get repaired. Acting early protects your evidence.

You're focused on recovery, not on adjuster calls. Your bike, car and medical care are being addressed. You know where your case stands, and you're back on the coast doing what you love.
