What To Do When Hit By A Car In Los Angeles


Car Accident Attorney

Visiting the land of Hollywood? Be careful how you walk around, as there are many motor vehicles and crazy drivers in Los Angeles.

 Statistically speaking, in 2016 there was a total of 55,350 traffic collisions, which was 7% more than in 2015, and 20% more than in 2014. In July 2017, there were already 14% more traffic accidents than in July of 2016. The numbers keep growing, as more attention is brought to traffic and accidents related to it.
So, if you ever get involved (or already took part) in an accident in Los Angeles, involving a car, truck or a bike, here are the things you should do without hesitation.

Seek immediate medical attention

The first thing you should do is receive proper medical care. Your health is of the highest importance, and once you are properly treated, you can deal with everything else. Make sure you visit a good doctor, and don’t worry about paying the bills. If you were not the one who caused the accident, you may be eligible to receive fully paid medical care, or at least a full compensation for your medical bills.
If you get in touch with one of our Car Accident Attorneys in Los Angeles, we will help you find a doctor who will not charge you anything until you receive full compensation for your injury.

Don’t settle for the initial compensation

If you were not responsible for causing the injury, but were a victim, you should not accept any initial form of compensation offered by the offender’s insurance company. Also, do not agree to a recorded statement with them, as they will offer you less than you deserve.
Instead, give JML Law a call. We will do a full evaluation of your case, and once that is established, you can negotiate with the insurance company peacefully, or bring them to trial. We will be here to support your case and your legal rights. Make sure you give us a call as soon as the accident happens.

Discover your options

From the moment you partake in a car accident, you have to think about your options. There are many questions that will require answers: What should I do in case of a permanent injury, is my case worth anything, who will pay for my medical bills, is there a punishment for the person held responsible, how will I go back to work now and what will happen to my lost wages.
There are many questions, and the only way to find proper answers is to speak to the experienced Car Accident Attorney in Los Angeles. The attorneys at JML Law will help you navigate through the complicated process, and pursue your maximum compensation.
Give JML Law a call as soon as you take part in an accident, and we will evaluate your case. Schedule your initial free consultation today, and find out how much your case is worth and how you can collect your compensation.

You Survived A Deadly Car Crash. Here's Why.

Life flashing before your eyes, you begin your sideways tumble down a rocky embankment. Getting ready to be rammed by an SUV with another vehicle closing in, choices were limited: make one slight correction and roll down what appears to be a 200-foot rocky hill, or get pancaked by two cars, which lessens your chances of survival. So, Plan A it is. Luckily, you chose correctly, because apart from whiplash and banged up bones, you’re going to survive. Not everyone reacts to car accidents the same. Some lose cognitive control, some have an uncanny ability to tap into their ‘fight or flight’ instinct quicker than others. You, however, survived because you made a split-second decision, and although you’ll still inevitably hire a Los Angeles car accident attorney , you’re thankful you cheated death. So, if you’re reading this, but survived what should’ve been a deadly car accident , here are other reasons: You paid for safety Today’s technology affords automobile manufacturers

Despite the seemingly strict laws, many car drivers in California find ways to get around the law.
