The guide aims to help individuals transform confusion into clarity after an auto accident by providing a clear plan to protect their health, rights, and ability to recover compensation.
Having a clear plan helps protect your health, your legal rights, and your ability to recover compensation since the immediate moments and decisions after an accident are critical for both health and legal protection.
First, prioritize safety by getting everyone to a safe place and calling for help if anyone is injured, then if physically able and safe, document the scene with photographs and video of vehicle damage, skid marks, road conditions, and surroundings.
Admitting responsibility or making comments that may be construed as concessions could jeopardize your ability to recover compensation, so it's wise to politely state factual information and let your legal team handle further communications.
Some injuries like whiplash, concussions, spinal trauma, or internal injuries may not manifest immediately and can evolve over hours or days, so visiting a physician promptly establishes a medical record and protects your rights.
You should consult a qualified auto accident attorney early, as early engagement lets your attorney collect vital evidence, handle insurers, and help you understand your rights under relevant laws.
Maho & Prentice takes these cases on a contingency-fee basis, meaning you don't pay unless the firm succeeds in recovering compensation for you.
In most car-accident injury cases in California, you have two years from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit, though deadlines may be shorter for crashes involving governmental entities.
