LOS ANGELES MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT LAWYERS

It seems like each night on the evening news you hear about a tragic accident
involving a car, truck, bus, train etc. Its very ironic that a necessity in our lives,
transportation, is one of the deadliest things we can do.  According to the U.S.
Department of Transportation, each year in the United States there are
approximately 6 million accidents injuring about 2.6 million people.  About 40,000
of these injuries result in death each year! What this basically means is that if
you drive or otherwise use public transport, you have a very high chance of
being injured in an accident at some point in your life.  The most important thing
to do is to drive safely and look out for others on the road.  However, If you are in
an accident there are some steps you have to take to protect your rights.

TAKE IMMEDIATE STEPS TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS

We always tell our clients that in the practice of law there are two realities.  What
really happened and what can be proved in court.  Unfortunately, sometimes
these two realities are completely different things.  In one example, in Pasadena
CA., a young girl was crippled when she was ran over by a negligent driver as
she was walking in a crosswalk.  At the scene, the driver took full responsibility
for the accident, apologized and did what he could to help the injured girl.  
Because of this the victim did not get the names of any witnesses.  When the
matter goes to court, the driver changes his story saying the young woman
jumped in front of his car and was not in the crosswalk.  

To avoid this situation, you should do the following things when you get in an
accident, in this order, to preserve your rights:

1.  Stay Calm, make sure everyone is OK - Call 911 if anyone is injured!
2.  Write down the license plate number of all vehicles involved
3.  Get the names and telephone numbers of all witnesses
4.  Take Pictures of the scene, cars, skid marks (Camera or cell phone camera?)
5.  Collect insurance and personal information from all other parties.

Because we know that when you are injured the last thing on your mind is your
rights, we have prepared a step by step glove box manual that will guide you
through exactly what info you need to collect and what you need to do. You and
your family should keep this in your car at all times.
