What Should I Do After an Accident Resulting in Injury?
In the aftermath of an accident and subsequent injuries and damages, it is only natural to feel scared and confused about what will happen next. But this is the time to maintain your composure and act to protect your interests and preserve your case.
Here are some things to remember in the aftermath of an accident:
Get Medical Attention
Injuries need to be addressed properly. The medical report will provide a professional description and time stamp which are important to your case.
Collect Evidence
Everything you can find. Photos of the scene, parking stubs, receipts, etc.
Talk to Witnesses
Get the names and contact information from anyone who has seen the events unfold. This testimony could play a key role in the case.
Report the Incident
All accidents should be reported to the proper authorities. This could be the supervisor at work, the security detail from a commercial location, animal services in case of animal attacks or the police for traffic accidents.
Do Not Admit Fault!
You may feel pressured or encouraged to accept blame and proffer an apology to anyone else involved in the accident, but this is a bad idea. A simple apology would be considered an admission of responsibility. Be careful what you say and do.
Call a Personal Injury Lawyer
Accidents that result in injuries can be confusing and stressful. Calling a legal representative will allow you to focus on recovery, while a professional works to protect your interests.

Case Preparation / Filing a Lawsuit
If you have never filed a claim or assembled a legal case before, this is no time to hit the learning curve. When your recovery is on the line and your future in the balance, you need a professional who has done this many times before to assemble a bulletproof claim.
Settlement Negotiation
Only the tenacity and attention to detail of your personal injury lawyer will prevent the insurance claims adjuster from exploiting every technicality to deny your claim and stick the blame on you. Our experienced personal injury lawyers will ensure that your rights are fully respected and you receive suitable compensation.
Trial Preparation
When it comes to turning the wheels of justice in your favor on the court floor, you will need a legal champion familiar with this arena. Our seasoned lawyers prepare all cases as if they will be taken to court, so you know we will be ready for this.
How is Liability Established in California?
California uses the concept of comparative fault to decide who is at fault in an accident that results in injuries. Comparative fault means that you can seek compensation even if you are 99% to blame for the accident.
For example, if you were jogging along the side of the road and got hit by a vehicle, you may be entitled to compensation, for example, $10,000. But if you were also found partially responsible for the accident because you were wearing headphones and listening to music, 10% of the responsibility may be assigned to you. This means you will only be entitled to $9,000 in compensation.

Dog Bites
While they are friendly and loyal, dogs can be very unpredictable and it is important that canine companions are properly controlled by their human counterparts.
