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. Many California drivers are unaware of what to do and, more importantly, what not to do following a collision, even though they happen frequently. Below are some tips and tricks to help you get the compensation you deserve:
- 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 will 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 will 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, make sure to 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 must 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 lawyer. You can tell them about the accident and contact them later.
The most important thing is to contact an experienced San Mateo law firm. The Arash Law Firm is responsible for investigating your accident, assessing the value of your claim, and dealing with insurance companies on your behalf. You may only receive a small portion of what you are entitled to if you accept a settlement from the insurance company without representation.

Limitations Under California Law
Despite meeting the requirements for a negligence claim, the California statute of limitations may limit your compensation. Your claim will be permanently barred unless you file a lawsuit within two years of your accident. Some exceptions apply, such as when you were unaware of an injury caused by medical malpractice. However, you should contact an attorney right away to discuss your case. You should know that a statute of limitations applies to your potential claim. 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. Based on our current information, we cannot determine your case’s applicable statute of limitations. You should speak to a lawyer, consult the California Code of Civil Procedure, use online resources, and/or visit your local law library to determine your case’s statute of limitations.
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. The Arash Law Firm can discuss any potential restrictions with you to ensure they do not negatively impact your case.
