Car Accidents in California
Drivers are supposed to pay close attention to their surroundings and drive defensively to prevent accidents. However, with so many cars on the roads in California, especially when drivers are speeding, cars can come from out of almost nowhere and cause an accident in the blink of an eye.
No one ever expects to be in an accident. If you’ve never been in one before, you may be unsure of whom you need to notify. After a car accident, you may be wondering what steps you need to take. Here is a list of a few of the important first steps to take after an accident:
- If physically able, at the accident scene, document information about the accident while it’s fresh in your mind (i.e., make, model, color, and license plate number of the vehicles involved, and how the accident happened)
- Call the police as soon as possible, so they can record the accident and investigate
- Get the names and contact information of anyone else involved in the accident and exchange insurance information.
- Get the names and contact information of any witnesses (this information can be given to the police when they arrive)
- Seek immediate medical attention. Some injuries are not noticeable right away, so it is important to be checked out by a medical professional to determine if you may need further treatments.
- Report the accident to your own insurance company
- Contact a car accident attorney
A car accident can significantly alter your life, leaving you with new financial worries resulting from medical expenses, to vehicle repairs or replacement, just to name a few. Especially if you’re injured, you may be worried about how you will pay for your medical care, expenses, and lost wages if you can’t work. Depending on the circumstances of your accident, you may be entitled to compensation from those who caused the accident. Have a knowledgeable car accident attorney evaluate the circumstances of your case.
