Steps to Take If You Are Injured in a Crash in California
After a crash, check yourself and others for injuries, then call 911 right away. Stay at the scene and move to a safe location if you can. Emergency crews will assess everyone involved and create an official report of what happened.
Even if you feel okay, see a doctor as soon as possible. Injuries may not show up right away, and medical records help connect them to the crash. Keep all treatment notes, prescriptions, and bills organized for future use.
Avoid discussing fault or providing detailed statements to insurers before consulting a car accident lawyer. An attorney can explain your options and help handle communication with insurance companies.
