A car accident can leave you shaken, injured, and confused about what to do next. This comprehensive guide helps you take the right legal and practical steps immediately after an accident in California. From ensuring everyone’s safety and calling emergency services to collecting driver information and taking photos, we explain how to protect your health and your legal rights.
We also cover what to say (and what not to say) to insurance adjusters, when to see a doctor even if you feel “okay,” and how long you have to file a personal injury claim. California is an at-fault state, which means proving negligence is key — and that’s where an experienced car accident attorney comes in.
At 365 Law Firm, we help injured victims navigate the legal system, communicate with insurance companies, and get compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain, and suffering. Whether you were involved in a rear-end collision, a T-bone crash, or a hit-and-run, this post arms you with critical information to make informed decisions.
