What Is The Statute Of Limitations For Filing A Lawsuit For Damages For Injuries From A California Sightseeing Accident?
The statute of limitations, which is the date by which you must file a lawsuit in the appropriate court for your injuries resulting from an accident in California, a dog bite or for a wrongful death is two years. If the injured party was a minor at the time of the accident, you have a longer period of time to file suit.
There are other exceptions to the statute of limitations and there are different statutes of limitations for each area of law, such as breach of contract actions, etc. One of the most important exceptions is that for claims against any type of public entity such as a school, city or city bus line, a claim must be filed with the city within 6 months of the accident.
For an analysis of the statute of limitations for any type of legal matter, it is essential to have a California sightseeing accident lawyer analyze your case to determine whether the statute of limitations has already passed or if you may still file a lawsuit.
Where Do You Get Police Traffic Collision Reports For A California Sightseeing Accident On The Ground?
After any type of injury accident in California involving cars or other types of land vehicles, if the investigating officer called to the scene of the accident feels there are serious injuries, the officer will make notes in order to prepare a report. At the end of their investigation, the officer will hand you a card with the address of the investigating police department, sheriff’s department or highway patrol office with the report number for your car or other vehicular traffic accident.
If the police, sheriff’s department or highway patrol weren’t called to the scene, you should have obtained information from the other party including their name, address, phone number, vehicle information and insurance information.
If you still wish to make a police report, you can go to the appropriate city police department, sheriff’s department or California Highway Patrol office and make what is called a counter report, which is basically a report filled out by you at their counter. Those agencies won’t investigate the accident after you do so, but this will provide some documentation of the incident.
Police, Sheriff’s Department and California Highway Patrol reports can be obtained from the investigative officer’s Police Department Division, County Sheriff’s Office or the California Highway Patrol office of the officer who investigated your accident.
Where Can You Get Medical Treatment For Sightseeing Accidents In California?
There are a host of medical providers who will provide you with medical treatment after Sightseeing accidents in California. These include offices of doctors, medical specialists such as orthopedic doctors, radiologist offices where you can obtain x-rays and MRI’s, physical therapists and chiropractors. At the Law Firm of California Sightseeing Accident Lawyer Sebastian Gibson, we also keep track of which doctors will treat clients on a lien basis when our clients have no health insurance or medical payments coverage on their car insurance policy.
However, if you have been seriously injured in any type of Sightseeing accident in California, we recommend you go to your nearest hospital. If you are uncertain if your health insurance company will cover your medical expenses at the hospital you wish to go to for medical treatment, call the number on the back of your health insurance card.
If you have medical payments coverage on your auto insurance and you’ve been injured while in a vehicle with such insurance, you may be able to have your medical bills paid by your car insurance company in the event you don’t have health insurance. Some liability insurance companies, however, only offer what they call “excess medical pay coverage” which means that they will pay medical bills only to the extent that your health insurance, if any, doesn’t cover them first and they will pay the bills only after seeing proof that any health insurance coverage denied the bill.
Duty Of Care By Sightseeing Transportation Operators In California
A common carrier transports people for a fee, and offers its services to the general public. As long as they charge a fee for their services and their services aren’t strictly private, a sightseeing bus, boat, helicopter, or any other type of transportation vehicle operator is a common carrier. Pursuant to the law in California, a common carrier has the legal obligation to provide the utmost duty of care to their passengers. Common carriers are held to a higher duty of care because of the fact they offer their services to the public for a fee. The operator’s failure to adhere to that higher duty of care may be held to be evidence of an operator’s negligence.
Common carriers are licensed and regulated at the local, state and federal level. The sightseeing or scenic transportation operator can be a business, a private company. The Federal government regulates common carriers which transport passengers across state lines under the Interstate Commerce Act. At the state level, states regulate common carriers transporting people within a state, however, in the field of aviation, federal law preempts local law in most areas.

We also handle aviation and helicopter crash sightseeing accidents. When an airplane accident or helicopter crash occurs, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigates the accident and issues a report. However, it can be months and up to a year before their report is completed and issued.
NTSB investigators literally piece together evidence from the crash site to determine the likely cause, or causes of an airplane accident or helicopter crash. The NTSB also investigates overseas incidents which involve US-registered aircraft, in collaboration with the local government investigative authorities, when there is significant loss of American lives, or when the airplane, aircraft or helicopter involved is American built.
Because the NTSB report can take so long, we perform our own investigation of any sightseeing accident involving an airplane or helicopter or an accident involving ground or water transportation by bus, van, car, train, or boat. When there are catastrophic injuries or a wrongful death and hundreds of thousands or millions are at stake, we’ll put together a team of attorneys to gather the evidence to get you the compensation you deserve for your case.
