Five Things To Do After A Vehicular Collision In California

While our lawyers can answer many of your questions in person, we also want to help you understand where you are today in the claims process. After a vehicle crash, it’s important to take the following steps:

1. At the scene of the accident, notify the police immediately and call 911 if there are injured parties.
2. Obtain the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all drivers and passengers present at the scene. From the drivers, also get their driver’s license numbers. Finally, acquire the license plates and vehicle identification numbers for all involved vehicles.
3. Make sure to give the above information about yourself to all other drivers involved.
4. Immediately after the incident, notify your agent and/or your insurance company. This is also the time to seek out a qualified personal injury attorney to advocate on your behalf.
5. If someone has been injured in the accident or the vehicle damage is over $750.00, it’s necessary that you report the collision to the Department of Motor Vehicles within 10 days. If this isn’t done, your driver’s license is at risk for suspension.
