Law Office of Joshua Y Lee Personal Injury Lawyer Anaheim CA
If you were injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault, you need an attorney to ensure you can get the treatment you need and the fair compensation you deserve. These are the steps you should take after an accident:
Make sure you and your loved ones are safe. Call 911 and get care right away. Acting quickly can be the difference of life or death or permanent vs. temporary injuries.
Call the police. Get an official record (police report) *The officer will not create a report unless you are injured. a) Just tell the facts. The adrenaline and shock can cause a delay in feeling any pain right way. Go see a doctor as soon as possible or call an attorney who can refer you to one.
Exchange information. Driver’s license, insurance, phone, license plate, make and model of the car. Take photos. (DO NOT rely on the police report. It can take many weeks to months to get this info).
Take photos of both cars individually, together, the street, the surroundings, the injuries, damage to the vehicles, etc.
Call an attorney. He/She will help you with the next steps and answer your questions. Simple mistakes early on turn into big liabilities later.
NEVER talk to the insurance company or record a statement without first speaking with an attorney. Your lawyer will answer all of their questions for you once hired.
