After a car accident, it's crucial to take the right steps toprotect your health and your legal rights. First, seek medical attention. Some
injuries have delayed symptoms, and a medical record is crucial. Second, document everything. Take photos!

The positions of the vehicles immediately after an accident can often be used to reconstruct how the accident happened.

Take photographs of the scene, damage to all vehicles involved, and your injuries. Get contact information from witnesses and the other driver(s). Call law enforcement and urge them to come to the scene an take a report, especially if you are injured. Third, do not admit fault. Even a simple "I'm sorry" can be misinterpreted and potentially used against you. Let the investigation determine liability, and do not discuss the accident with the other party's insurance company if you are planning to hire an attorney.

Finally, and most importantly, contact a lawyer. Before speaking with insurance adjusters, consult with an experienced car accident attorney like Sam N. Simantob. We offer a free consultation and will be able to address your questions.

California law allows car accident victims to recover compensation for various damages. These “damages” include past and future medical expenses such as hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation, therapy, pain management, and medication. You can also recover lost wages, both past and future, if your injuries prevent you from working. This category of damages includes lost earning capacity if your injuries limit your future job prospects or income.

Compensation is also available for pain and suffering, which addresses the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident including anxiety, depression, and loss of enjoyment of life. You may also be entitled to reimbursement for property damage, covering the repair or replacement of your vehicle and any other damaged personal property. In cases of extreme negligence or recklessness (e.g., drunk driving, intentional harm), punitive damages may be awarded to punish the at-fault party and deter similar conduct in the future.
