Few cities have as many freeways running through them as Pomona. Each one feeds traffic onto city streets, and riders get caught in the merge.
Heavy commuter and truck traffic, with sudden slowdowns near the Kellogg Hill interchange with the 57.
Fast merges between the 10 and the 60. Lane changes without mirror checks are common.
Runs along the south side of town toward Diamond Bar, with truck traffic from the Inland Empire.
Connects Pomona to Chino and Corona, with ramps that drop drivers straight onto city streets.
Holt Avenue. Old storefronts, driveways and parked cars. Drivers pull out and open doors into traffic.
Garey Avenue. Busy north to south, past Pomona Valley Hospital. Left turns across oncoming traffic cause most crashes here.
Mission Boulevard. Long and fast through the middle of town, with side streets on both sides.
Foothill Boulevard and Towne Avenue. Commuter traffic to and from La Verne, Claremont and the 210.
Pomona is home to one of the country’s best-known drag strips, at Fairplex. That history sometimes gets used against riders. An adjuster sees a sport bike and a Pomona address and assumes the rider was racing.
Speed has to be proven, not assumed. The car’s own data, business video, the damage pattern on your bike and the scene measurements tell the real story. In most of our cases they show a driver who turned or merged without looking.
It isn’t. California defines lane splitting in Vehicle Code § 21658.1 and does not prohibit it. The CHP publishes rider safety guidance. Splitting lanes does not decide fault.
California requires a helmet (Vehicle Code § 27803), but not wearing one only affects damages for injuries a helmet would have prevented.
California uses comparative fault. You recover your damages minus your share of the blame.
Two years to file most injury lawsuits (Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1), and only six months for a claim against a city or county (Government Code § 911.2). Evidence goes much faster.
Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage on your own policy can pay, including after a hit-and-run.
Call 911 and let paramedics check you. Pomona PD handles city streets and the CHP handles the freeways. Get the report number.
Photograph everything. Keep the bike, helmet and gear as they are. Write down witness names and any cameras nearby on Holt or Garey.
Don’t give a recorded statement or sign anything. We handle the insurers so you can focus on getting better.
Send a few details and an attorney, not a screener, will call you back. No cost, no obligation, and no fee unless we recover money for you. Phones are answered 24 hours a day, in English and Spanish, and we come to you in Pomona.
Tell us what happened. No cost, no obligation, and your information stays private.
The Pomona Police Department at 490 W. Mission Blvd. for crashes on city streets. Crashes on the 10, the 57, the 60 and the 71 are handled by the CHP Baldwin Park Area office. We request the report on every case and check it for mistakes.
Speed has to be proven, not assumed. We look at the other car’s event data, business video, the damage to your motorcycle and the scene. In most cases the evidence shows a driver who turned or merged without looking.
Yes. California allows lane splitting and defines it in Vehicle Code section 21658.1. Splitting lanes does not decide who was at fault.
Yes. The insurer can only argue for a reduction for injuries a helmet would have prevented. Leg, arm and back injuries and road rash are not affected.
At Pomona Courthouse South, 400 Civic Center Plaza, the Los Angeles Superior Court’s East District civil courthouse. Most cases settle before trial, but we appear there regularly.
About ten minutes up the 57. We are at 151 W. Bonita Ave. in San Dimas. We regularly meet Pomona riders at home or at Pomona Valley Hospital.
Nothing up front. Our fee comes out of the recovery, and if we don’t recover money for you, you owe no fee. The consultation is free, in English or Spanish.
