Santa Monica: records, analysis, and relevant profiles for sideswipe accidents

For sideswipe accidents in Santa Monica, this section connects the scene near Pacific Park, the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center (Westwood) chronology, and official-process questions associated with Santa Monica Courthouse (Los Angeles Superior Court). It also shows sources and bar-verified attorney profiles, but it does not replace investigation, diagnosis, or individualized legal advice; document the source statement against the supporting record to check who controlled the evidence.

How to use this evidence guide

  1. 1. Start with City of Santa Monica and confirm who controls the first missing record.
  2. 2. Compare Pacific Coast Highway (State Route 1) near Pacific Park with Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center (Westwood) before treating local context as incident proof.
  3. 3. Use the verified profiles for Raffi Naljian and Armen Akaragian only to review published license and practice information; no attorney has been assigned.

Official local record brief

Start with the right custodian and record

City of Santa Monica publishes roadway-safety plan, collision-analysis period, and priority locations; here it is connected with Pacific Coast Highway (State Route 1) near Pacific Park, and the visible limit controls what may be concluded.

Official dataRoadway-safety plan, collision-analysis period, and priority locations
Santa Monica Local Roadway Safety Plan

City of Santa Monica

The city describes the adopted roadway-safety plan, the source period used for its collision review, and the priority intersections and corridors selected for further safety work. On this page, the record helps separate Santa Monica public context from incident-specific proof and the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center (Westwood) chronology; document local context against incident-level proof to mark the remaining gap.

When to use it

Use the plan to verify the city analysis period and corridor methodology before requesting the incident report or a separate engineering, maintenance, signal, or video record; verify the evidence gap against the available custodian list to identify the next custodian.

Details used to locate the record

  • Plan section
  • analysis years
  • intersection or corridor name

Limit: The plan is a planning resource based on a defined historical period. It does not establish an incident, current street condition, notice, fault, injury, or damages; for this sideswipe accidents page, compare the published scope with Pacific Coast Highway (State Route 1) and the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center (Westwood) chronology before applying it to the incident.

Official processPolice records access routes for traffic-collision reports
Santa Monica Police traffic-collision report access

City of Santa Monica Police Department

The department page provides the official path to traffic-collision report access and its Records Unit options, including online, mail, and in-person routes. On this page, the record helps separate Santa Monica public context from incident-specific proof and the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center (Westwood) chronology; cross-check the timeline against independent corroboration to mark the remaining gap.

When to use it

Use this source after confirming Santa Monica Police investigated the collision and the requester needs the incident-specific report or the current Records Unit route; map the record chronology against the chain of custody to preserve the original sequence.

Details used to locate the record

  • Report or event number
  • date and location
  • involved-party and requester details

Limit: The department page is an access route, not the report itself, and does not establish requester eligibility, report contents, responsibility, medical causation, coverage, or losses; for this sideswipe accidents page, compare the published scope with Pacific Coast Highway (State Route 1) and the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center (Westwood) chronology before applying it to the incident.

Local anchors and boundaries

What can guide the record search, and what it does not prove

Scene anchor

Pacific Coast Highway (State Route 1) near Pacific Park

Official path

Santa Monica Courthouse (Los Angeles Superior Court)

Confirm the entity, legal party names, and published process before using Santa Monica Courthouse (Los Angeles Superior Court) for a filing or venue question; trace the coverage position against the policy document to check who controlled the evidence.

Boundary: Santa Monica Courthouse (Los Angeles Superior Court) is a research reference and does not establish venue, jurisdiction, or an individual deadline; review the record chronology against the chain of custody to distinguish context from proof.

Local mobility

Compare the report, dispatch, photograph, or video time near Pacific Park with the first note from Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center (Westwood). A timing difference does not decide the matter, but it identifies which custodian or witness should clarify the sequence; compare the filing question against official authority to test one unresolved fact.

After reviewing the claimed fact against the verifying document, what must be confirmed before treating Santa Monica Courthouse (Los Angeles Superior Court) as the venue reference?

Confirm the legal name of each potential party, who controlled Pacific Coast Highway (State Route 1), and whether a public entity was involved. Santa Monica Courthouse (Los Angeles Superior Court) is a local reference; it does not establish venue, jurisdiction, or compliance with a notice requirement by itself; verify the record chronology against the chain of custody to show what needs confirmation.

After reviewing the filing question against official authority, how should the local medical chronology be organized?

Preserving that timeline is critical to proving damages in Santa Monica; compare the timeline against independent corroboration to show what needs confirmation.

After reviewing the scene fact against the preserved record, what connects the scene to the potential filing venue?

Review should compare witnesses, camera coverage, and treatment locations with filing venues near Santa Monica Courthouse (Los Angeles Superior Court) and Los Angeles Superior Court - Stanley Mosk Courthouse (downtown Los Angeles), especially for crashes tied to Santa Monica Pier, Pacific Park and ZIP codes such as 90401, 90402, 90403; review the evidence gap against the available custodian list to preserve the original sequence.
