Automotive Accidents

Automobiles

• If you were involved in a car accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your damages and injuries.
  • At the site of the accident, it’s important that you move to safety, take photos of the accident scene, exchange information with the other driver(s), and collect names and numbers of any witnesses.
  • Next, California law requires that CA Highway Patrol or the police department is notified within 24 hours if the car accident resulted in an injury. The office will make a police report for you.
  • Moreover, if your accident resulted in at least $750 of property damage, the DMV must be notified within 10 days.
  • Please notify your insurance provider of the accident as soon as possible. If you wait, they might try to deny your claim later on.
  • Lastly, it’s important you seek medical attention after your accident. Even if you don’t feel injured, the adrenaline in your system might mask the full extent of your pain, and/or your injuries might not begin to reveal themselves until days after the accident. Insurance companies typically try to deny that the accident caused injury or that injuries are being exaggerated in cases in which injured victims did not seek medical treatment in a timely manner. 

Bicycles

• If you were involved in a bicycle accident – whether it was a collision or due to a dangerous condition on the road – you may be entitled to compensation for your damages and injuries.
