What to do when you’re in a car accident:

First and foremost, you should always stop if you are involved in a car accident. Secondly, you need to determine whether or not you and your passengers are injury free. If not, call an ambulance right away.

Regardless of how minor a collision may be, you should call the police and have them fill out a police report. A police report can provide all of the following:

  • An unbiased report from a third party
  • Evidence at the time of the accident
  • Establishing the at-fault party

After calling the police, call an experienced car accident lawyer in Bakersfield. Though insurance companies say you should call them immediately, we would only recommend calling them once the disorientation from the crash has worn off. What you say during this call, can and will be used against you.

Who should I call after a motorcycle accident?

Call the police first and foremost! After that, you should call a motorcycle accident lawyer from Wilshire Law Firm at (661) 855-4099. Then, your insurance company. By calling us, we can better guide you through this traumatizing time in a way that is most beneficial to you.

When should I seek medical attention?

Seek medical attention as soon as possible after a collision because it can strengthen your personal injury claim. Though you may feel fine at the time of the accident, many injuries, such as whiplash, may not present itself for days, weeks, and even months after a crash; but 75% of people who suffered from whiplash had lasting symptoms for more than 6 months.

Keep all of the following as supporting evidence for your personal injury case:

  • Receipts and medical bills that relate to the accident
  • A journal about your injuries
  • Correspondences that you may have had with medical professionals
  • Travel expenses to and from your medical appointments

In fact, in 2015, the United States saw over 87,000 injury cases from large trucking and busing accidents as well as 4,311 fatalities.

What to do in a trucking accident:

It is imperative that the police and ambulance are called as soon as possible when you’re involved in a trucking accident because you want to ensure that whatever damage you or your car may have sustained is recorded. Next, if able, you should do all of the following:

  • Take pictures of the wreck
  • Obtain trucker’s information
  • Obtain information from other drivers who may have been involved
  • Limit the amount you say to other drivers
  • Call a truck accident lawyer who is experienced in handling commercial vehicle cases.
  • Call your insurance adjuster only when you feel comfortable doing so

When dealing with paramedics, police, insurance companies, and other drivers you should never admit fault! A simple “sorry” can be disastrous for a personal injury case.

Wrongful Death Lawyers in Bakersfield

Losing a loved one is hard enough, but to lose someone because of another’s negligence is heartbreaking. From 2015 to 2016, motor vehicle deaths rose in California by a striking 13 percent! That’s double what the national average is at 6 percent. Furthermore, anywhere between 210,000 and 440,000 patients a year die from medical malpractice. With so many preventable deaths occurring every year, the sting is felt all the worse.

Seek justice against those responsible for the loss of a loved one by bringing your case to a knowledgeable and trusted wrongful death attorney.

Who can file a wrongful death claim?

A wrongful death claim can’t be filed by just anyone, only by those who have a relationship with the victim. For example, you couldn’t file a claim for a complete stranger whose obituary you saw in the newspaper, but you could file if your father died because of medical malpractice. In California, the following parties have priority for filing a wrongful death claim:

  • Surviving spouse
  • Domestic partner
  • Children

Following these parties, according to the California Code of Civil Procedure, parents and siblings can file because they are “entitled to the property of the decedent by interstate succession.”

Finally, those who can prove they were financially dependent on the deceased, such as a “putative spouse” and stepchildren can file.

If you have questions about filing for a wrongful death claim, call a Wilshire Law Firm lawyer today.
