Whether as a driver or passenger, chances are you’ll be involved in an auto accident at least once in your lifetime. And while many auto accidents result in minor property damage and trivial injuries, some can lead to devastating consequences including death. In fact, the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration reported over 42,000 deaths in automobile accidents in the year 2004. Auto accident cases can be time-consuming and complex, involving multiple parties and significant investigations. That’s why it’s so important to choose an auto accident attorney with experience and a positive track record. Since 1978, Bisnar | Chase, LLP has successfully represented thousands of automobile accident lawsuits.
Anyone considering driving should make sure they have sufficient education and state licensure. In addition, the state of California requires a minimum of liability insurance coverage for each car. Though knowing the rules of the road and driving responsibly can go a long way, it can’t protect you from drunk, inexperienced, elderly or underinsured drivers.
Here’s what to know in case of an auto accident: be sure to gather as much evidence about the accident at the scene of the incident as possible. This includes asking for a police or highway patrol report, taking photographs, and asking involved parties for identifying information such as their insurance company and number, driver’s license number, phone number, and/or VIN. You should be sure never to speak to an insurance adjuster or sign any paperwork without first consulting with an experienced auto accident lawyer. In fact, after seeking appropriate medical care, your first move after an auto accident should be to find a reputable auto accident attorney to represent your claim.
Issues of fault and liability are complex in the state of California. However, a good auto accident lawyer can help you recover financial compensation for the physical damages and injuries sustained in an auto accident. With access to expert investigators and witnesses and years of experiences with venues, judges and trial procedure, Bisnar | Chase LLP has the know-how to successfully litigate any kind of auto accident claim.
