What Benefits am I Entitled to for My Car Accident?
Depending on various factors, you could be entitled to numerous benefits, such as payment of all your medical bills, compensation for your pain and suffering, and so forth.
If you lack a medical provider, we could potentially arrange one who, like us, operates on a contingency basis.
You might also be entitled to compensation for future medical care for injuries from the accident, pain and suffering now and in the future.
Your vehicle pair (at no expense to you) may also be included in your benefits, plus reimbursement for all out-of-pocket expenses related to your accident. Several clients who’ve been injured in a car accident lost wages due to inability to work. You might get recovery of lost wages and even compensation for future lost wages.
In California, when you’re injured in a car accident, you can recover economic as well as non-economic damages. Belal and the team can help you to recover everything that you deserve.
What Should I Do After a Car Accident?
First and foremost: don’t flee. Never abandon the accident scene.
If the other driver decides to skip the scene, capture their license plate details with photos or videos to assist authorities in locating them.
Despite the situation, try to maintain calm. Ensure nobody is harmed and inspect your vehicle for damage. Impulsive decisions should be avoided.
Get to safety. If there’s ongoing traffic, alert them by using your hazards, flares, etc. This may require moving your vehicle out of the path of traffic. Do so to the extent you can safely.
If injuries are present, avoid moving victims unless necessary for their safety. Keep them warm as well.
Once you’re safely situated, call 911.
After confirming everyone’s safety and help is en route, gather as much information as possible. This includes names of all involved drivers, license plates, insurance companies, and policy numbers. Don’t admit fault.
Avoid apologizing to the other driver. Keep discussions direct and brief. Speak about the accident only to the police and your insurance company.
Additionally, collect information on witnesses, passengers, involved vehicles, etc.
Photograph your vehicle’s damage, the accident site, passenger injuries, and anything else that you feel may be relevant.
Once you’ve done all of the above, then reach out to Belal.
When to Hire an Attorney After Your Accident
In a word, quickly. That’s especially true if the accident resulted in personal injury. The California statute of limitations typically allows two years, but in certain scenarios, it can be shorter.
In addition, the other party will start working on the case as soon as possible. The other driver’s insurance company will attempt to minimize your compensation. Their tactics may include asking probing questions, trying to confuse you, or making inadequate offers.
Getting an attorney to represent you halts these tactics. Additionally, it allows your attorney to promptly start working on your case, increasing your chances of getting the compensation you deserve.
What are Some of the Major Causes of Car Accidents?
Various factors contribute to vehicular accidents across California. In his years as a car accident attorney, Belal has successfully handled cases including:
Driving Under the Influence: Approximately a third of all deadly traffic accidents nationwide are due to driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Excessive Speeding: Speeding reduces drivers’ reaction time, impeding their and pedestrians’ ability to evade accidents.
Driving Distracted: Texting, using social media, texting, playing games on the phone, and more can lead to any number of serious accidents.
Vehicular Defects: Faulty seat belts, engines, brakes, etc., cause more accidents than commonly thought.
Driving Mistakes: Including tailgating, failing to yield, running red lights, inattention, abrupt lane switching, and more.
Those are just some of the many, many causes of car accidents. If someone else hurt you in an accident, it’s worth it to reach out to Belal.
Who is Liable in My Car Accident?
Every case is unique, hence different parties might be held accountable for the damages you suffered in your car accident. The liable party is typically another driver whose careless and/or negligent actions resulted in your injuries.
However, they might not be the only ones at fault. If a driver hits you while on job duty, their employer might be held liable. The vehicle’s owner might also be held responsible.
Over the years, we’ve found multiple parties could be liable, from marketers and shipping companies to manufacturers – as car accident attorneys, one of our responsibilities is to ensure you receive maximum compensation by identifying all the parties responsible for your injuries, even if you were partly at fault for the accident.
