If I ever need a lawyer again, I’m calling The May Firm. I was rear ended and had a ton of bills. They told me what my rights were and that they would take care of me. All I had to do was get to physical therapy. They did everything, and I ended up with a very nice settlement and a new car. Thank you! You exceeded my expectations!

What Should I Do Following a Car Crash?

Car accidents are frightening and sometimes overwhelming experiences. Your priority is ensuring that you and others at the scene are safe.

  • If you can, check your surroundings and move away from the wreckage but stay close by.
  • Call 911 for anyone who needs emergency care.
  • Exchange information with the other party or parties involved, if possible.
  • Take pictures or videos of the scene and try to identify witnesses.

Don’t feel compelled to admit liability, and move away from the other driver if there’s a chance they could turn hostile or aggressive. Seek legal help as soon as possible from a car accident lawyer in California.

Establishing Fault in a California Car Crash

Due to the combination of spiking adrenaline and emotional stress, it’s easy to get caught up recounting details of a car accident to whomever is present and willing to lend an ear.

You should always cooperate with local authorities and law enforcement, but do your best to keep your details as objective as possible. Things you say may be taken out of context or misinterpreted, potentially depicting as more at fault than you really were.

Establishing fault is critical to any case. Even if you are confident the accident was not your fault, don’t go out of your way to accuse the other party. Leave that aspect of the case for the experts at our California accident firm to handle.

““If you were in a motor vehicle accident, it is your responsibility to seek legal counsel and refer aggressive or inappropriate questions to your attorney. Answer questions directly and objectively. Resist the urge to provide additional details. Your legal team will help you communicate the facts of your accident correctly.””
