WHAT TO DO AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT

Following this set of steps is essential if you are involved in a car accident.

According to the California Vehicle Code 16025, you should do the following:

  • Provide your name and existing address to the authorities
  • Take the driver's license number of the other party
  • Take the address of the registered vehicle owner

Additionally, it would help if you tried to collect the following information as quickly as possible:

  • Document and take pictures of all damages to your vehicle
  • Collect insurance information
  • Immediately see a doctor and request that they document all physical injuries you have sustained, especially internal injuries.
  • Gather the names and contacts of the witnesses who were present at the time of the car accident

The following information needs to be collected from the at-fault driver:

  • Driver's name
  • Contact details, including phone number and address
  • In case the other driver is not the vehicle owner, you should also collect the owner's contact details

It would be best if you didn't try to diagnose the injuries you sustain alone. You should immediately seek medical attention after the car crash to document your injuries. This provides you with solid evidence. Our legal team has the expertise to provide legal help with claims of various injuries and seek compensation.

Remember never to sign documents or talk directly to the insurance adjuster before consulting with an expert car accident attorney.

COMMON CAR ACCIDENT INJURIES

Our Newport Beach car accident lawyers deal with clients regularly who have sustained serious injuries in vehicle accidents. Many vehicle accidents result in minor injuries. However, these injuries sometimes require medical attention, resulting in expensive medical bills. Moreover, car accident victims suffer severe injuries and even death.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association 2019 report, out of 6.7 million auto accidents, 1.9 million resulted in severe injuries to one or more parties involved. Our Newport Beach car accident attorneys have effectively represented clients who suffered various injuries in car crashes.

We can deal with all kinds of car accidents and injury cases, including but not limited to the following:

woman on the phone with her own insurance company after being hit by an uninsured driver
Whiplash and Soft Tissue Injuries

If the vehicle hits your car from the rear, it causes a jerk to your neck and head, tearing muscles. This type of injury commonly occurs during rear-end collisions.

Head Injuries or Concussions

Head injuries during car accidents are often severe and need close monitoring. Initially, they may appear mild, but they can transform into traumatic brain injuries such as hematoma that require medical attention and treatment.

Scrapes and Cuts

These are typical injuries that most people experience after car accidents. They can result from flying debris or even airbag deployment. Many cuts aren't too severe, while others may need stitches.

Broken Bones

In addition to physical injuries, some people experience psychological and emotional trauma, impairing their routine life for a long time.

Other Ailments

In addition to physical injuries, some people experience psychological and emotional trauma, impairing their routine life for a long time.

In case of a wrongful death in a car accident, the surviving family is legally entitled to seek a settlement from the accused party. A fair settlement is meant to compensate for various damages, including medical treatment before their passing, loss of expected income, pain, and suffering, as well as funeral/burial costs. As seasoned car accident attorneys tell you, we aggressively fight for your legal rights and fight to get you fair and maximum compensation.

HOW MUCH IS A CAR ACCIDENT CLAIM WORTH?

You can file a personal injury lawsuit to be compensated for your pain and suffering, medical bills, lost income, future medical expenses, and other property damage expenses.

Your car accident may entitle you to compensation for injury and damages, and our expert Newport Beach personal injury attorney will fight to get you the maximum payouts.

Under California law, the insurance carrier or responsible party should pay for the following losses to the injured victim:

COMMON CAUSES OF CAR ACCIDENTS

Car accidents can happen due to different reasons.

They can be a result of the following:

  • Negligence of traffic rules by the driver
  • Drunk driving
  • Distracted driving
  • Inclement Weather
  • Failure of any car part
  • Traffic lights failure
  • Essential traffic signs non-existence

Generally, according to California's statute of limitations, you can file your injury claims after a car accident within two years from the accident date. However, if your injury results from traffic signs or lights malfunctioning, you have only six months to file your compensation claim to the relevant government agency. Due to this short time frame, you must immediately contact a licensed, registered, and experienced Newport Beach car accident lawyer. Once the deadline is missed, you will not have another opportunity to file a car accident claim.

HOW TO DETERMINE LIABILITY IN A CAR ACCIDENT

The liability theory applied in most car accident cases is negligence. For recovery under the claim of negligence, your Newport Beach car accident attorney should show that the injured party owes a responsibility to the defendant to refrain from any negligent act and to prove liability the defendant has breached this duty.

Due to this breach of duty, the injured party experienced damage resulting in incalculable harm. Our Newport Beach car accident attorney will have in-depth knowledge of the laws and hands-on experience dealing with such cases. Accordingly, we prove the negligence of the defendant party based on a duty of care, breach of duty, damages, causation, and comparative negligence.

Our experts adopt a personalized, aggressive, and efficient approach to your case to ensure optimal results.
