Make sure you get to safety. Experts say that staying next to your car after a crash can be dangerous, depending on where it happens.

Get medical attention. Get the treatment you need as soon as possible after a crash, either from a paramedic at the scene, or later from your doctor. This is vital for your own health and wellbeing, as well as helping any future legal claim.

Call the police. If there has been a car crash, the police should be involved. You can also request a copy of the police report at a later date to support a fault claim.

Document the scene and preserve evidence. When you have been in a car accident in Orange County, you should document everything. Take pictures or videos of the scene and vehicles using your phone, record license plate numbers, and secure witness statements or contact details.

Organize your evidence. Make sure the evidence you have collected is well organized. Request copies of police reports and proof of medical treatment and bills.

The Insurance Adjuster is Not Your Friend

It is best to place your trust in a lawyer who is working for you – with your best interests in mind – rather than an insurance agent whose job is to save money for their firm.

Orange County car accident lawyer John Bisnar

California car accident attorney John Bisnar said:
"Thinking the insurance company is on your side is a big mistake. Car insurance companies give bonuses and pay raises to adjusters who settle claims in the quickest time and for the least money. The insurance adjuster is not your friend."

Finding the Right Orange County Car Accident Lawyer

Choosing the right lawyer for your injury claim can be a big decision, and one which you should not take lightly. The success of your claim can depend on the representation provided by your attorney, so it is essential that you choose a firm with a great reputation.

You should ask these questions before hiring an attorney or law firm:

How long have they been in business?
How long has the attorney handling your case been licensed?
Have they worked on cases similar to your accident?
Are they flexible and considerate to your needs?
Does the attorney seem like a good listener or do they talk over you?
Do they go to court if need be (trial lawyers)?
Check their legal standing with the Bar Association of their state
Do they truly offer a free consultation and advance all costs?
Is the accident lawyer near me or close to my work?

“Happy the way my case went. The only thing that got the other insurance company to hear me was "here is the number to my attorney", I shouldn't have waited so long to call an attorney. Thank you isn't enough.”
