People always ask me: Neama, what should I do if I’m involved in an accident?
The first thing you should do is call 911. You’re going to be connected to CHP dispatch in Sacramento. Tell them you’re injured and tell them you need medical attention. Even if you decline the ambulance ride, law enforcement will come, they’ll document the scene and your injuries, and that is something that is very helpful if you decide to pursue a case later on.
The second thing you should do is go to the doctor. Because of the shock or adrenaline of an accident, you might not feel your injuries right away. But I can’t tell you how many people wait weeks or sometimes even months to see a doctor and that allows the insurance company to argue that you weren’t really injured in the accident. Otherwise, why didn’t you seek medical attention?
Third, call a lawyer. Don’t try to handle a claim on your own. It may hurt the value of your case. Call us right away.
