What To Do After A Car Accident

There is no escaping the fact that car accidents can happen anywhere and at any time, so drivers have to be aware and prepared at all times. If you have been involved in a car accident, you should follow these steps in order to stay safe and protect your rights:

  • Stay on the scene and check your body for injuries. Examine the condition of other people involved.
  • If possible, move disabled vehicles to the side of the road. To avoid further collisions, keep your emergency lights turned on. Wait for law enforcement in a secure location.
  • Notify the authorities of the accident. Data will be collected, documented, and entered into an official record by the authorities.
  • Obtain the driver(s)’ insurance and contact information. Photograph the vehicles, license plates, and any other relevant details.
  • Never, ever admit fault to anyone, including the authorities. When speaking with police officers, focus on the necessary details of the accident.
  • Seek medical attention as soon as possible. As soon as possible, visit your local hospital or primary care physician to reduce the severity of your injuries. Also, scans and tests can detect internal injuries that haven’t manifested symptoms.
  • Accident reporting deadlines exist for California insurance companies. Call as soon as possible to report your accident. When reporting the crash, follow the agent’s instructions.
  • Stick to the facts and be mindful when speaking with the claims adjuster. Avoid recording statements or accepting settlement offers from insurance companies before consulting with a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer.
  • Gather and organize all relevant paperwork regarding the accident. Victims should have a copy of the police report, information about the other driver, medical bills, treatment plans for injuries, and other pertinent documents.
  • Our free consultations allow you to discuss the accident without risk or obligation. If you have further questions, don’t hesitate to contact us at (888) 488-1391.

Among people aged 2 to 34, traffic accidents are the leading cause of fatalities and serious injuries. Every 60 seconds, a car accident occurs in the United States.

Every year, over 10,000 people die as a result of vehicle accidents in California. The Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) documented 35,766 fatal collisions and 38,820 fatalities in 2020.

The state has had 23.5% more fatal car accidents since 2013. Moreover, there were 485,866 auto accidents in 2017, resulting in 3,898 deaths and 276,823 injuries. There were nine traffic-related deaths per 100,000 residents of the state in 2018.
