How To Handle A Car Accident In San Mateo
It is important to remain calm after a car accident. Despite being generally straightforward, the post-accident procedure can be challenging at times. Maintaining your composure will allow you to record the accident more accurately and thoroughly. Some California drivers may be unaware of what to do and, more importantly, what not to do following a collision, even though they happen frequently. Below are some sample steps you can take following an accident:
- Stay on the Scene and Seek Medical Help — Call 911 for immediate medical attention if you feel injured. Getting treatment as soon as possible prevents your injuries from getting worse. Documenting your injuries effectively can also help you prove your case.
- File a Police Report — Even if neither you nor the other driver is injured, call 911 to request a police car. Law enforcement will compile their evidence and write an investigation report once they arrive on the scene. This could be the first piece of evidence in your personal injury case.
- Gather Evidence and Exchange Information — Take pictures of the other vehicles involved in the collision and your vehicle. Also, photograph the car from every angle, including any areas that appear to be undamaged. Exchange information with the other driver after taking pictures. Your insurance information and driver’s license are usually all you need. Obtain the names and statements of any witnesses.
- File a Claim With Your Insurance Company — Once you have dialed 911, gathered proof, and exchanged data, you contact your auto insurance provider. You will be instructed on what paperwork to submit and how to proceed. However, don’t provide an insurance company with a recorded statement or sign anything before speaking with a law firm. You can tell them about the accident and contact them later.
- Contact an Experienced San Mateo Injury Law Firm — Our team at Arash Law can help you with investigating your accident, assessing the value of your claim, and dealing with insurance companies on your behalf. We can help review settlement offers to see whether they reflect your actual damages. If not, we could work to help you pursue compensation based on your injuries and losses.

Limitations Under California Law
Despite meeting the requirements for establishing negligence, the California statute of limitations may affect your eligibility to pursue a legal claim if you fail to file a lawsuit within two years of your accident. Some exceptions may apply, such as if you were unaware of an injury or if an accident involves a minor or a government entity.
Different types of cases have various statutes of limitations. These time frames can range from as little as six months to as many as two years. Though you can learn more about the exceptions to the statute of limitations by consulting the California Code of Civil Procedure, using online resources, or visiting your local law library, our San Mateo injury law firm can evaluate the specifics of your case to offer more tailored guidance on this matter.
A comparative negligence theory is also applied by California when considering accident claims. The amount of compensation is reduced by the amount of blame you are responsible for if you were partially at fault. Our team can help you understand these legal complexities and work to develop strategies to address their potential impact on your case.
