What To Do After a Car Accident

The steps taken in the immediate aftermath of an accident are vital. First and foremost, they are important for your personal health and well-being. And they can also have legal implications. 

Drivers should take the following steps: 

  • Protect Yourself: Move your vehicle to a safe area, away from traffic. Turn on the hazard lights to alert other drivers. Then assess yourself and others involved in the accident for injuries. If anyone is injured, call emergency services right away. 
  • Call the Police: Report the accident to the police or California Highway Patrol. They will document the incident and provide an official accident report. This report can be introduced into evidence as the findings of an authoritative, unbiased source. 
  • Get Information: Exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver(s) involved in the accident. Take photos or video of the accident scene, including damage to vehicles, skid marks, and any visible injuries. This evidence can be valuable later on.
  • Identify Witnesses: If there were any witnesses to the accident, get their names and contact information. Their statements may support your case if needed.
  • Seek Medical Attention: Even if you don’t feel immediate pain or visible injuries, it’s important to get a medical evaluation. Some injuries may manifest later, and having medical documentation can strengthen your claim.
  • Notify Your Insurance Company: Report the accident to your insurance provider as soon as possible. Provide them with accurate details and cooperate with their investigation.
  • Keep Records: Maintain a file of all relevant documents, including medical records, repair estimates, insurance correspondence, and any other related paperwork.

The Diamond Bar car accident attorneys at Apex Lawyers can assist clients with much of this and perhaps even take some of it completely off their hands. Give us a call at (909) 306-5985.

Proving Breach of Duty in a Car Accident Case

In a car accident lawsuit, proving a breach of duty is a crucial element in establishing negligence on the part of the defendant driver. A breach of duty occurs when the defendant fails to fulfill their legal obligation to exercise reasonable care and take necessary precautions to prevent harm to others. To prove a breach of duty in a car accident lawsuit, certain types of evidence can be valuable: 

  • Violation of Traffic Laws: If the defendant violated any traffic laws at the time of the accident, such as running a red light or speeding, it could be strong evidence of breaching their duty of care.
  • Eyewitness Testimony: Statements from witnesses who observed the accident can help establish whether the defendant’s actions deviated from what a reasonable person would have done in similar circumstances.
  • Expert Analysis: Accident reconstruction experts can provide professional opinions based on physical evidence, vehicle damage, skid marks, and other factors to determine if the defendant’s actions breached their duty of care.
  • Surveillance Footage: If available, video footage from surveillance cameras can provide a clear depiction of the accident and potentially show a breach of duty by the defendant.
  • Maintenance and Vehicle Records: If the accident was caused by a mechanical failure or lack of proper maintenance, records indicating negligence in vehicle upkeep can be used to prove a breach of duty.
  • Admissions or Statements: Any admissions made by the defendant after the accident are evidence. This underscores how important it is to maintain silence. Don’t acknowledge fault—even saying “I’m sorry” could be misconstrued in court. And do not try to reassure anyone that “you’re okay.” This can work against the plaintiff in court.
