What to Do After You’re Injured a Car Accident
- Get Medical Attention for Anything Related to Your Accident – Always seek medical care, even for injuries that seem minor.
- Document Everything – Collect videos and photos, witness information, and insurance details. Get documentation from the hospital when you go.
- Record Videos of Your Recovery – If you’re having walking, sleeping or eating make videos. If you go to the chiropractor or physical therapy, record videos that show your treatment and progress.
- Don’t Sign ANYTHING the Insurance Company Sends… until you speak to an attorney.
- Contact Our Firm – Speak with an attorney before talking to insurers. Insurance companies may pressure you to settle quickly.
- Act Quickly – California has strict time limits for filing personal injury claims. Delaying may prevent you from recovering compensation.
