What Steps Should I Take Immediately After an Accident?
What you do after a personal injury plays an important role in your ability to recover fair damages. In every accident, ensure that your safety is always the top priority. Get to safety when you can, help others if possible, and then call 911. This ensures both medical and police arrive to assist and document what happened.
When possible, take photos of the incident, including the location, surrounding conditions, and the extent of the injuries. If there are witnesses, ask for their name and number. Then, get medical care. This is critical to protecting your health and safeguarding your right to fair compensation.
Depending on the type of incident, you are likely to have to report the incident to the at-fault party’s liability insurance provider. However, do not file an actual claim for your losses with them until you speak to a Pasadena personal injury lawyer. Insurance companies are never on your side.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in California?
The statute of limitations for most personal injury claims in California is two years. This means victims have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit in a court of law against the at-fault party. Most of the time, our legal team will work with you and the at-fault insurance company to settle your losses before this, and out of court.
In situations where you must go to court to seek fair compensation, it becomes critical to turn to an attorney who can expedite the process to keep your claim within the two-year window. There are some exceptions to this rule, including in situations where you are a minor at the time of the accident or the at-fault party flees the state, and you cannot serve them with a lawsuit.
