What To Do After a Car Accident

• Stay clam and remain at the scene. Never leave the scene of an accident, even if you are not at fault. In some states, it is a criminal offense to flee the scene of an accident, which can leave you with an additional problem at your hands.
• Check for injuries. If you or anyone involved is injured, call for an ambulance and wait for them to arrive.
• Call the police. The police officer'rs role is important, as they will write up a report on the accident that can be included in your claim.
• Document evidence. Take pictures of the damage, your injuries, and the surrounding scene. The more evidence you document, the better.
• Get information. Exchange insurance information with the other parties and obtain contact information from witnesses.
• See a doctor. Even if you do not feel hurt, you should always see a doctor first. Some injuries may not appear until days or even weeks after the initial incident.
• Talk to an attorney. Soon after the incident, you should discuss your case with an attorney to understand your rights and whether you have a claim. An attorney can handle all the legal details sand make sure that insurance companies do not take advantage of you.

California Statute of Limitations for Car Accident Cases

According to California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1, surviving family members have up to two years to file a personal injury claim frrom the date of the accident.
