  2. When this happens to you in California, you have the legal right to file a claim to help recover compensation for your losses/damages. California law recognizes that victims of vehicle accidents often pay the price in the form of severe injuries. If this has happened to you, you have the right to contact a Santa Barbara car accident attorney immediately to discuss your potential for filing a claim.

  3. Gather Evidence From The Scene Once the accident happens, contact the authorities, especially if someone is hurt. From there, you’ll want to file a police report and gather relevant evidence, like videos/photos of the scene, witness information/identification, and the other driver’s information, such as their car insurance policy information and their drivers’ license information.

  4. Get Medical Attention Some of the most serious injuries like brain injuries are often masked by the adrenaline and shock you feel at the accident scene. Being evaluated by a doctor locally can help you determine the severity of your injuries.

  5. Get A Lawyer Please be forewarned: Please be forewarned: If you try to represent yourself, you will also need to contact your car insurance company and file a claim. This is one of the hardest parts of the legal process for most accident victims since the insurance company will insist that you sign a release/waiver of all of your rights in exchange for the few dollars they offer.

  6. Never provide any recorded statements directly to the insurance company, as this is not in your best interests and could later be used against you. Presenting your case to an experienced car accident lawyer immediately after the accident occurs is the best way for you to identify your legal rights and understand how to protect them.
