Best Legal Tips For When Youre Injured In a Car
Accident
2
  • A motor vehicle accident can happen to anyone. In
    fact, chances are if youre reading this now
    you have probably been in a car accident just
    recently and are looking to get some legal
    advice.
  • Luckily, The Law Offices of Howard Craig Kornberg
    brought their Los Angeles car accident attorney
    Howard Craig Kornberg to outline the best legal
    tips that you can used after youve been injured
    in a car crash.

3
Dont Hesitate to Get Medical Attention
  • You can seek medical care either at the scene of
    the motor vehicle accident, if your injuries are
    serious, or by going to a hospital on your own.
    Either way, going through a medical checkup after
    a car accident and documenting your injuries is
    vital, as failure to do so may hurt your personal
    injury claim.

4
Document your Medical Expenses and Time off Work
  • If youre going to pursue compensation for your
    medical bills, lost wages and loss of earning
    capacity, you need documentation supporting your
    monetary losses associated with medical treatment
    and other out-of-pocket expenses related to
    transportation and accommodation. Also, its
    essential to have documented proof that you had
    to skip a specified number of days at work due to
    injuries and/or disability.

5
Seek Legal Help ASAP
  • Besides, best car accident attorneys in Los
    Angeles at the Law Offices of Howard Craig
    Kornberg offer a free consultation to give you
    legal advice about your particular case.
  • A rule of thumb is that victims of motor vehicle
    accidents in California generally recover two to
    three times as much as people who choose not to
    be legally represented when handling their claim.

6
Do NOT Admit Fault
  • No matter what were the circumstances of your car
    crash, never admit fault at the scene of the
    collision. Let an experienced attorney determine
    fault and liability in your motor vehicle
    accident before jumping to conclusions. Besides,
    statements made at the scene can be used against
    you as evidence (for example, even if you werent
    at fault for the accident but said Im so sorry
    in shock at the scene of the accident, this
    statement can significantly hurt your chances of
    winning a claim).

7
Dont Hesitate to File an Accident Report
  • Dont waste your time when it comes to filing an
    accident report if youve been injured in a car
    crash, as your claim may be forever barred from
    being brought to court.
  • Californias statute of limitations for property
    damage after a car accident is three years from
    the date youve been injured, while for personal
    injury is two years.

8
Report the Accident to your Insurer
  • Not reporting your car accident promptly may hurt
    your chances of collecting damages. However, do
    not do it on your own seek legal advice to find
    out whats the best way to report your accident.

9
Negotiate with your Insurance Company
  • Never should you ever accept those unfair and
    cheap initial settlement offers from insurance
    companies, as they do not take into account the
    full scope of your injuries and damages.
  • Let a Los Angeles car accident attorney review
    your particular case to determine what benefits
    are available to you under your insurance policy,
    how much money can be recovered, and how to
    settle your claim to obtain maximum compensation.

10
Do NOT Signs Any Documents Alone
  • Do not sign any documents or papers offers to you
    by insurance companies, the other driver, or the
    insurer of the at-fault driver before seeking
    legal advice of a skilled attorney.

11
Do NOT Give Recorded or Written Statements
  • Do not give any recorded or written statements to
    anyone without consulting a lawyer first, as this
    may make it impossible to sue the at-fault driver
    or recover damages later on.
