What should I do after a car accident?

In the moments following a car accident, you should:

Assess you, your passenger and the other vehicle’s injuries
Move to a safe place away from traffic
Contact authorities
Exchange driver’s license, insurance and contact information
Document the accident scene with photos and or videos
Do not talk to insurance company representatives
Get medical attention
Contact an auto accident lawyer

I don’t think I was hurt. Should I see a doctor anyway?

Absolutely. There are huge forces involved in a car accident that may result in serious injuries, although the symptoms are often subtle. In addition to seeing a doctor shortly after the accident you should watch out for symptoms of injury. Once you have sought medical attention, contact our Moreno Valley car accident lawyer at The Paris Firm to schedule a free consultation.

What injury symptoms should I be aware of?

There are many common car accident injuries that may not show symptoms right away. Look out for brain injury symptoms such as:

Confusion
Inability to sleep/nightmares
Dizziness
Personality changes, moodiness or depression
Fatigue
Memory loss

Also look for spine injury symptoms such as:

Back pain
Numbness
Tingling
Weakness
Pain elsewhere in the body

This may involve one or both limbs, certain regions of the body, or certain organs. The symptoms may also worsen with time.

Are my interests important to my insurance company?

Sometimes, your insurance company can be your ally. They have certain obligations by law and contract, meaning you have common interests. In other ways, your insurance company may be your adversary.

An insurance company increases profit by paying less in claims, including your car accident claim. They may see your accident (and you) as a liability and may make decisions that save them money but may cost you. It is a conflict of interest that they will not acknowledge.

Do I need a lawyer for my Moreno Valley car accident claim?

An attorney is recommended any time you suffered an injury in a car or other motor vehicle accident that resulted in an injury or any amount of medical bills or lost wages. Since consulting with the lawyers at The Paris Firm about your auto accident is free, it’s better to talk to us and be told you don’t need one, than to not talk to us and regret it later because you didn’t have representation.

My insurance company has made me an offer. Should I take it?

When your insurance company makes you an offer, it is based on an expectation of what they might have to pay for your accident. It’s almost always at the lower end of what your accident is likely to cost in the long run, even if it seems like a lot based on what you’ve paid so far.

When should I contact an attorney about my car accident claim?

You should immediately contact an attorney about your car accident claim when:

You have been diagnosed with injuries and presented with a treatment plan
You have received a settlement offer from your insurance company
You are being pressured to give multiple statements about the accident, or you feel your claim is being handled too slowly
You feel overwhelmed by the issues related to your car accident
