Have you been injured in a car accident? If so, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your damages. There are several things that you can and should do to increase your chances of filing a successful claim. Listed below is everything that you should know and do following a car accident.
Contact The Police The most important thing after every car accident is getting professional help. This includes calling the police and reporting an accident as well as injuries. The police will arrive with an ambulance and provide you and everyone else injured with proper medical care. If the police officer approaches you, be thorough and speak with the office about what happened. Tell the officer your opinion and your thoughts on the accident, and how you believe it came to be. The officer will use your testimony to file a police report. Later your attorney will be able to seek a copy of it and use it as evidence supporting your case. If you think about skipping the medical check, think again. The most important thing that you should always do following an accident is getting checked for any hidden injuries. You would be surprised by the number of internal injuries that you could sustain, without them being visible right after the accident.
Call Your Attorney If you do not have an attorney, feel free to call a Los Angeles pedestrian accident attorney and schedule your free initial consultation. There are many reasons why you should consult with an attorney right after the accident: • The attorney will assess your situation and evaluate your case • The attorney will help you file a claim against a responsible party • The attorney will help you investigate the case and find evidence to prove that the other party caused the accident • The attorney can hire other professionals to help with your case
Evidence? If you are able to, before you leave the scene, take photos of everything. This includes: • Your vehicle • Other vehicles involved • Your injuries • Other vehicle’s license plate and the car model • The surrounding area and traffic signs Also, take any information from the witnesses around the accident. If anyone saw what happened, that person could help speed up your case with a testimony. Seek that individual’s personal information and try and convince them to be your witness.
