Your Car Accident Checklist

What should you do if you have been in a car accident in L.A.?

DO

  • Call 9-1-1 and request law enforcement to come to the scene of the accident and file a report.
  • Assess your passenger(s) for injuries and request an ambulance if necessary.
  • Ask politely for witnesses to stay until the police arrive so they can provide their version of events.
  • Ask any witnesses for their names and phone numbers if they have to leave and cannot wait for the police to arrive; be sure to provide this information to the officers.
  • Inform law enforcement of any injuries, pain, or discomfort as soon as they arrive; even if they do not ask.
  • Get the license plate, make, and model vehicle that hit you; if you were a passenger, get this information for the vehicle in which you were riding as well.
  • Request immediate medical attention and an ambulance if you are dizzy, have double vision, have headaches, or are nauseous.

DO NOT

  • Blindly believe in the apologies of the person that hit you and their requests to not get the police involved.
  • Agree to the other driver’s request to keep this “between us” or trust an arrangement for them to pay for damages out-of-pocket to avoid an increased insurance premium.
  • Assume law enforcement will obtain the names, phone numbers, or addresses of witnesses to the accident.
  • Assume that if law enforcement spoke to a witness, their information and statements will appear on the collision report.
  • Assume you are not injured because there is no blood.
  • Report the accident to your own insurance company or the driver’s insurance company without a lawyer’s assistance.
  • Wait several days or weeks to contact a knowledgeable car accident attorney.
