Immediately after you are in a car accident in California, you need to prioritize safety. Move to a secure location and seek medical attention, even for injuries that you might think are minor. Slight injuries can evolve into more serious conditions, and you need to have them documented for your case. Once you are safe and have received the necessary medical care, document the scene by taking photographs of all vehicles involved, collect contact information from witnesses, and obtain a copy of the police report. These initial actions are crucial for supporting your personal injury claim. You should also refrain from discussing fault at the scene or with insurance adjusters before consulting with a personal injury attorney.
