Car Accident Lawyers in Bakersfield
Driving is a fact of life—we drive to work, drive to the grocery store, and drive all over for everyday tasks. When most people climb into their car, they do not anticipate being in car accident. However, in the United States, an auto accident occurs every six seconds, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that car and other vehicle accidents are a leading cause of accidental death in the U.S.
What to do if you are in a car accident
- Seek immediate medical help, even if you do not think you are injured. Whiplash, soft tissue, and muscle injuries may not be immediately apparent. Early treatment helps you to recover more quickly, and medical documentation substantiates your injury for a claim.
- If possible, take photos of the car accident scene, including your car, the road, and the other vehicles involved in the accident.
- Report the accident to the authorities.
- Note down contact and insurance information of other parties involved.
- Get names and phone numbers of any eyewitnesses.
- Consult a lawyer before repairing or disposing of your car.
- Keep your damaged vehicle secure so no one has access to it.
- Notify your insurance agent.
- Get legal help.
