Court and Deadlines
Orange County civil injury cases are typically filed at the Central Justice Center, 700 Civic Center Drive West, Santa Ana (or the courthouse assigned to your case type). The usual private-party lawsuit deadline under California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1 is two years from the injury. Claims that may involve the City, the County of Orange, Caltrans, or another public entity often need a written government claim under Government Code section 911.2 within six months.
Visitors, Rentals, and Beach-Weekend Traffic
Many Huntington Beach crashes involve visitors, rental cars, e-bikes, and short-term stays near the pier. The at-fault driver may live out of the area or the vehicle may carry a commercial or rental policy. We help identify every policy that may apply and collect the report, photos, and witness information while it is still available.
If a city vehicle, a beach facility, or another public entity may be involved, a written government claim is often due within six months under Government Code 911.2.

Who investigates crashes in Huntington Beach?
Huntington Beach PD usually handles crashes on city streets, including PCH and the former Sunset Beach strip. Crashes on the I-405 usually go to the CHP Westminster Area, 13200 Goldenwest St., (714) 622-3600. Ask for the agency name and report number.
I was hit on an e-bike near the pier. What should I do?
Get medical care first. Keep the bike and helmet as they are, photograph the pier-area scene and get witness names. Crashes on PCH and downtown streets are usually Huntington Beach PD reports. We can help request the report and deal with the insurers.
Who writes the report if I was hurt on a boat in Huntington Harbour?
The Orange County Sheriff’s Harbor Patrol covers the county’s three major harbors, including Sunset-Huntington Harbour. Ask the deputy for the incident number. Boating injury claims under California law can involve the operator, the boat owner and a rental company.
My crash was on PCH near Sunset Beach. Is that Huntington Beach PD or CHP?
Usually Huntington Beach PD. Sunset Beach became part of Huntington Beach in 2011, so PCH there is inside city limits. A crash on the I-405 is usually a CHP Westminster Area report.
How do I request a Huntington Beach PD crash report?
Use the city’s online Police Records Request system, or visit the Public Records counter at 2000 Main Street with a photo ID. For questions, call (714) 536-5511 and confirm the current copy fee. If the crash was on the I-405, request the CHP report with form CHP 190.
