When a car accident strikes you and others in your car can be injured. Pain and other symptoms may develop immediately, but often over the next few days. Sometimes the symptoms are temporary, often they can be permanent and life changing. The first thing to do is go to urgent care or the emergency room to get checked out. Then call a personal injury lawyer to find out what to do next.

Even if you are not sure who is to blame for the accident, we can help sort it out. Sometimes the driver may not be at fault for the car accident. Automobile defects, incorrect highway signs, construction, faulty highway or road design, inadequate lighting, or out-of-order traffic lights may be to blame. The government or automobile company can be at fault for these accidents.

One of our personal injury attorneys will save you from making serious mistakes that could jeopardize your case. We can help you open a claim with your insurance company, as well as handle your case against the at-fault driver's insurance company.

Insurance companies will sound friendly with you on the telephone, but they're not looking out for your interests. Insurance companies will be nice to you to gain your trust and lowball your settlement offer.

They will try to offer you a small amount of money and have you sign a Release so you cannot ever sue the person who is insured with them. The risk of doing that is huge, because your symptoms may get worse, and injuries could end up being permanent. Sometimes it takes many months to discover nerve damage, a disk bulge on your spine, or hematoma that gets worse with time. Often it takes over a year to find out you will need an expensive surgery after the physical therapy, pain management, and medications that haven't worked. Do not rush to settle your case by yourself. The sooner you have a personal injury attorney help you the better off you will be if your case is accepted.

Every state has a limit on how long a person can wait before making a personal injury claim. California's personal injury statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury. However if the case is against a government entity, the claim must be made within 6 months. In some cases when it concerns a minor the statute of limitation may be tolled, meaning extended.
