Should I discuss my accident with the insurance company after my
accident?
Do not discuss your accident with anyone other than your physician until
you have retained a skilled auto accident attorney.

No. Insurance companies are notorious for offering settlements that
are far less than the injured party deserves. By contacting an auto
accident injury lawyer you may be able to receive a much larger settlement
than the insurance company has offered.
What actions must I take after an auto accident?
You must call the California Highway Patrol or police to report the
accident. Next you must report the accident to your insurance company
and fill out the appropriate forms. Within ten (10) days of your accident
you must contact the California DMV if either car suffered over $500
dollars in damages or anyone was hurt or killed due to the accident.
How I am going to travel if my vehicle is being repaired?
Your auto policy may allow for you to rent a vehicle while your damaged
vehicle is being repaired. Keep all receipts from your rental vehicle
because these are considered "damages" and you may be reimbursed.
How much money will I get from my settlement?
There are various factors that will affect the amount of money that
you receive in your settlement. Loss of employment or wages, pain, medical
expenses, suffering, disability, and other expenses will all be considered
when calculating your settlement.
