A car accident can change your life in an instant. From painful injuries and mounting medical bills to missed work and emotional distress, the aftermath is often overwhelming. At Landver Personal Injury Attorneys, we help victims of car accidents navigate the legal process so they can focus on healing.
Common Causes of Car Accidents
Understanding what led to the accident is the first step in building a strong case. Some of the most frequent causes include:
- Distracted driving (e.g., texting while driving)
- Speeding
- Drunk or drug-impaired driving
- Failing to yield or obey traffic signals
- Fatigued driving
Whether you were a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian, if another party’s negligence caused your injury, you have the right to seek compensation.
Steps to Take After a Car Crash
- Call 911 Immediately
Ensure that a police report is filed—it becomes a crucial piece of evidence later. - Get Medical Help
Your health should be your top priority. Some injuries like whiplash or internal trauma may not show up until hours or days later. - Exchange Information
Get names, contact info, insurance details, and license plate numbers from all involved parties. - Document the Scene
Take photos or videos of the vehicles, road conditions, and your injuries. - Speak to a Lawyer Before Talking to Insurance Adjusters
Insurance companies often try to settle for less than you deserve. Let your attorney handle all communication.
Understanding Liability in Car Accidents
California is an at-fault state, meaning the party who caused the accident is responsible for the damages. You may be entitled to:
- Medical treatment and rehab costs
- Lost earnings and future income
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
