What To Do When Hit By A Car In Los Angeles

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.
