There are many car crashes in California each year resulting in over 3,000 deaths and 277,000 injuries. These are often caused by speeding, drugs and alcohol consumption, distracted drivers, traffic light and sign violations, or mechanical issues. If you are involved in a car accident, as a victim or wrongdoer, first get the medical treatment you need, and then call your car accident lawyer.
Trust our advice to protect your rights
Gallagher Krich, APC attorneys suggest you take the following steps immediately after the car accident you are involved in:
- First, focus on your injuries and call emergency medical services.
- If you are fully conscious after the collision, avoid saying something related to who is responsible for the accident and keep calm.
- Document the accident: Take photos of the scene, of the other driver’s car, your car and specific details of your vehicle, especially if you suspect some mechanical issue; keep all the reports you receive from the police and the medical examinations or bills you receive from the doctor that treats you.
- Report the accident to your insurance company.
- Do not discuss your case and do not accept any settlement before talking with a knowledgeable lawyer.
Take these steps to help us in building a solid case for you! While you should focus on recovery, our dedicated lawyers will handle the negotiations with the other driver or the other driver’s lawyer, your insurance company or the other driver’s insurer.
If you lost your loved one in the car accident, then as a surviving family member you have the right to file a wrongful death claim. Nothing can bring your spouse or child back, but our lawyers are here to support you to get the compensation you deserve.
