Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Re: Motorcycle Accident

Of course he can. Why should he have to absorb the cost of damage you caused? The fact that he waited two months to ask for the money is a non-issue. He has plenty of time in which to sue you before the limitations period runs.

Re: Motorcycle Accident

Probably. You can argue he waived all rights, but he probably later received a claim, didn't know it was coming, and now must seek indemnification from you. You had nothing in writing so the waiver argument is weakened and he may deny, further, any claim he didn't know he had can be revived.

Re: Motorcycle Accident

Yes.

Re: Motorcycle Accident

There might be a creative lawyer whose expert examines the motorcycle and opines that a defect in the bike caused it to crash. But probably, you'd have to pay the lawyer a lot more than the money you owe to your friend to support that defense!
