What to Do After a Car Accident

  1. Get medical attention – Keep all receipts, reports, treatments.

  2. Call the police – Make sure there’s an official accident report. Don’t worry, we can file one for you if you have not already.

  3. Gather evidence – Photos and videos (vehicles, injuries, weather, road conditions), driver's licenses, insurance details, witness info.

  4. Don’t speak to the other driver’s insurance company alone – They may use your words against you.

  5. Contact an experienced car accident attorney – The sooner you call, the better we can protect your rights.

FAQ

  • Yes. For most personal injury cases, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. For property damage only, the deadline is three years from the date of the accident. If a government vehicle or agency is involved, you must file a government claim within six months, and if denied, you have six months after the denial to file a lawsuit. 

    You can negotiate or attempt to settle your claim with the insurance company at any time before the statute of limitations expires. However, once that deadline passes, you lose the legal right to file a lawsuit — even if settlement talks are ongoing. That’s why it’s important to hire an attorney as soon as possible after your accident. Early legal representation helps preserve evidence, meet all filing deadlines, and protect your right to compensation if settlement negotiations fail.

  • It depends on medical expenses, lost wages and future earnings, pain and suffering, property damage, liability and evidence, insurance coverage, comparative fault. 

  • Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee, which means you pay nothing unless we win your case. If there is a favorable outcome, we get paid a percentage of the settlement or the result at trial. If there is not a favorable result, then we absorb the time and cost we spend on your case.

  • No, you should not speak with the insurance adjuster. They will try to get information from you and may use that information against you at a later date. Our recommendation is you wait until you hire a lawyer and have your lawyer speak with the insurance adjuster.

  • Insurance companies often offer far less than your case is worth. A lawyer can evaluate your claim and fight for fair compensation.

  • California law allows you to still recover damages even if you were partially responsible. Your recovery may be reduced, but you are not barred from compensation.
