What You Should Do After an Accident:
Whether the car that hit you stopped or hit-and-ran you, the steps that you take immediately after the case arises can affect your case and the monetary recovery that might be available to you. We’ll keep this as simple as possible.
- Call 911 and ask that both police and paramedics come to the scene.
- Obtain the other driver’s contact information and if possible, take photos of the wreckage.
- Take the names of any witnesses.
- Notify your insurance company, but don’t speak with the insurer of the driver who hit you. Speak with us first.
- Seek medical care right away. The paramedics at the scene can make a record of your injuries and take you to an emergency room. Emergency room personnel will make another record of your injuries. It’s important that your injuries be documented right away.
- Police will investigate the accident and compile a report. You can get a copy of this in a few days. The police report is extremely important.
- Follow all emergency room instructions, especially if its recommended that you visit your own doctor, an orthopedist or a neurologist.
- Contact our offices to arrange for a free consultation and case evaluation.
Following Up with Care and Treatment:
It’s important for you to follow up with your medical care and treatment. If you miss therapy or rehab, the insurer could claim that you weren’t injured to the extent that you claim. You should make every effort at attending any medical appointment relative to the accident. The value of your claim or lawsuit will decline if you don’t.
California’s Statute of Limitations:
In most California accident cases, you must file a lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident. Some cases might be as short as six months though, so its far better to consult with an attorney at GK Legal right away after an accident. A wrongful death case must be filed within two years of the date of the decedent’s death.
At GK Legal, we’re fully aware of how an automobile accident can turn your life upside down, especially if you suffered severe and permanent injuries. Contact us as soon as possible to protect your claim, and don’t speak with the opposing insurer until you speak with us first. We can attend to every aspect of the complicated legal process for you while you recover. Contact us today for that free consultation. Under the terms of our retainer agreement, we don’t get paid a penny’s worth of legal fees if you don’t get paid too.
