No Fee Unless We Win
Living in sunny Southern California means you can easily get around, but relying on cars is dangerous for pedestrians. If a car has struck you, don’t be rushed into a hasty decision by insurance companies. They might urge you to settle for less, especially if you’re unrepresented. Don’t face this alone. Instead, trust a Los Angeles pedestrian accident attorney from our team. Here’s what you should know and do after such an incident.
As with any accident, the most important step to take immediately afterward is to care for yourself. Seek the initial medical care that you need, and make sure to document the process when possible. If you’ve found yourself in an accident, we recommend the following steps:
NOTE: If the other party leaves the scene of the accident call 911 immediately after getting away from the danger of moving traffic. This is important as it will create an accident report of the wreck.
In the state of California there is a limited amount of time allowed within which you can file a claim, after that period you may not be able to obtain legal recourse. To avoid missing this period we recommend reaching out to legal counsel immediately regarding your motorcycle accident.
