You’re far from alone. In fact, the National Safety Council (NSC) estimates that, in 2017 alone, some 4.57 million people were injured seriously enough to require medical attention. If you are involved in an accident where you or another may have been injured, here are some important steps.

First and foremost, make sure everyone involved in the accident is safe, and that definitely includes you. Call 911 right away if anyone injured in the accident requires any kind of medical attention. Equally important, make sure that no one is in active danger. Many fatal accidents happen after people get out of their cars on busy roadways following a less severe collision. If you initially assume you’re not hurt, but then start to think maybe you were, do not wait to seek medical attention.

Once you and your vehicle are in a safe place, do your best to take pictures of the accident scene and of damage to all vehicles involved. Of course, you and the other party must exchange insurance and contact information. If there any other people who witnessed the accident, also get their contact information along with their account of what happened. If you can, write it down in as much detail as possible or ask the person if you can record their voice on your cell phone. This is often crucial in avoiding a “he said/she said” situation if at fault parties refuse to acknowledge their responsibility.

As soon as all parties are safe, call an attorney. It’s always best to start protecting your legal interests as early as possible. California law allows for up to two years following an accident to file a claim, but it’s nearly always advantageous to start the process as soon as possible.

If you have recently suffered a serious traumatic injury, or if a loved one has been badly injured, then in all likelihood you are experiencing one of the most difficult chapters of your life. If someone close to you has been killed in an accident, then the emotional and psychological stress will be that much heavier. Moreover, there is a real risk for people in traumatic accidents of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), and the National Institute of Mental Health lists accidents as one of the most frequent causes of all this all too common and very serious disorder. The financial stress of medical bills, the temporary or permanent inability of the victim to earn income, and just the standard expenses that come with living in Southern California can create a serious financial bind. They certainly can make the idea of obtaining the help of an attorney seem completely out of reach. It’s not.

However complex you might think it is for a victim to get a fair shake from responsible parties and their insurers, it’s probably even more complex than that. One important reality has to do with the assets of possible defendants and the amount of insurance they carry. People and businesses generally get only the legal minimum of insurance coverage or just enough to protect their assets. So, for example, a middle-aged homeowner is likely to carry more insurance than a college student. Drivers for ridesharing companies like Uber and Lyft, for example, typically carry $1 million worth of insurance coverage. The help of a skilled attorney can make an important difference in ensuring that victims receive truly fair compensation.
