With the amount of traffic growing in California daily, the
likelihood of getting injured in an automobile accident is
getting increasingly higher. Be prepared.
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT
If you are involved in an automobile accident remain calm. It
is important that you get as much information about the other
parties as possible.
GATHERING THE FACTS
California law requires you to stop and exchange information
with the other people involved in the accident. Write down as
much information about the parties including their name,
address, telephone number, driver's license number, name of
their insurance company including the policy number and extent
of coverage. Also write down their vehicle plate number and
the year, make and model of the vehicles involved.
Get the name, address, and telephone number
of all people who witnessed the accident. They will be very
important later in case a dispute arises as to how the
accident occurred.
Assess your injuries. If you are injured,
you should seek medical attention immediately!
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY
Do not discuss the accident with anyone, except to provide
facts requested by law enforcement officers at the scene or
information from your license or registration. Do not discuss
fault or cause.
CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY
Contact us within 24 hours or the first business day following
the accident about your rights and duties.
