Your Next Steps After an Indian Wells Car Crash
Taking the right steps after a car accident can help you preserve both your health and your right to take legal action against the at-fault party. We recommend:
- Calling the police: The Indian Wells Police Department can respond to the scene of the crash to interview both drivers, talk to eyewitnesses, and write up a police report. If the crash is serious or there are obvious injuries, you should call 911 instead of calling the non-emergency line. Once you’ve made your report, you can request a copy of the police report from the police department for use in your personal injury claim.
- Exchanging information: Once you’ve checked that everyone is okay and there are no severe injuries, take a few moments to exchange insurance and contact information with the other driver. Your insurance company will need this information. Additionally, if there are any eyewitnesses who stopped to provide help, get their name and phone number.
- Gathering evidence: This is your one and only chance to get documentation of the accident scene. Take photos and videos from multiple angles and distances. It’s helpful if some of these photos show the vehicles’ license plates, the road conditions, and anything else that may have been a factor in the crash. You may also want to take photos of skid marks on the road and any damage to the roadways or public structures—this may help demonstrate the speed and force of the crash.
- Seeking medical care: No matter how you feel after an accident, medical care should be a top priority. People often skip this step, assuming that if they feel fine there’s no need for a checkup. However, some injuries take days or weeks to show up, and you don’t want to wait that long to begin treatment. Local facilities in Indian Wells include Executive Urgent Care Center, Desert Regional Medical Center, and John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital.
- Talking to a lawyer: If you’re owed compensation, getting the insurance company to admit it will be an uphill battle. Your attorney can begin their investigation right away and start building your case.
Why You Need an Attorney
Whether you’ve been involved in a car accident, truck accident, bicycle collision, or motorcycle accident, having the right legal support by your side can make a big difference in the outcome of your case. No matter how obvious it is that the other party is at fault, their insurance company will do whatever they can to limit their financial losses and their liability. That may mean blaming the accident on you, disputing the severity of your injuries, or otherwise downplaying the crash.
The team at Castillo & Montes Attorneys At Law has seen every trick that insurance companies use, and we know how to fight back against these tricks and protect your claim.
