Motor Vehicle Accidents

What should I do if I’m involved in a car accident?

The most important thing to do when involved in a motor vehicle accident is to stay calm and collected. After you gather yourself here are some questions that may come to mind in the immediate aftermath of your accident:

• Was the accident my fault?
• Should I tell my insurance company?
• What should I do when the adjuster calls?
• Do I have to call the police?
• Should I hire a lawyer?

Whether the accident is your fault or not, it is extremely important that you DO NOT ADMIT FAULT, especially to an insurance adjuster.
If you have been in a traffic collision, you still have rights. Even if you are an undocumented immigrant, in the state of California, you can still claim compensation for personal injury and wrongful death. Your immigration status cannot be used as evidence in a civil case or wrongful death claim against you.
