After a crash, ensure everyone is safe, call for help if needed, and document the scene. Do not admit fault. Exchange basic information with other drivers and obtain the police report. Then contact a local car accident attorney to review options and protect your rights. A thoughtful attorney will help you gather medical records, track expenses, and navigate insurance questions while you focus on recovery.
Fault is assessed based on driver behavior, road conditions, and evidence such as the police report, witness statements, and any video footage. Insurers review liability and may assign percentages of fault. You need a solid record to support your claim and rights.
In California, statutes of limitations generally require filing a personal injury claim within two years of the crash, though some cases have different timelines. Acting early helps preserve evidence and strengthens your position.
Possible damages include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. In some cases, future medical costs and decreased earning capacity are considered as well.
