Steps to Take After a Personal Injury Accident

Obtain Proper Medical Attention

Your health comes first. If you have been injured, it is essential to obtain medical attention promptly. Don't delay – even seemingly minor injuries can have serious consequences.

Obtain Proper Medical Attention

Your health comes first. If you have been injured, it is essential to obtain medical attention promptly. Don't delay – even seemingly minor injuries can have serious consequences.

Keep a Record of What Happened

Take some time to jot down the details of the incident – where, when, and how it happened. It is also a good idea to collect contact information from any witnesses.

Document the Scene

Take photos and videos of the accident scene, your injuries, skid marks and damage to the vehicles. These photos can be valuable evidence later on, so be sure to capture everything.

Notify the Authorities

If necessary, report the incident to the appropriate authorities, such as the police. This is especially important for automobile accidents. Car accident victims should speak with a car accident lawyer to obtain a copy of the report for records.

Keep Medical and Expense Records

Keep track of all your medical appointments, treatments, and expenses related to your traumatic brain injury or other injuries. It is also important to document any time off work or other financial impact.

Be Mindful of What You Say

Be cautious about discussing the details of the incident, especially with representatives from insurance companies or the other party involved. It is best to consult a legal professional before making any statements.

Damages We Can Help You Recover in California

At Crown & Stone Law, P.C., we are dedicated to helping our clients recover the largest possible damages for their personal injury claims. We understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll that accidents and injuries can take on the injured victims and their families. Our experienced team of attorneys will find the evidence to prove liability of the defendants, negotiate aggressively with the insurance company, and if needed, take your case to trial in order to recover the compensation you rightfully deserve for your injuries and losses.

Economic Damages

Medical Expenses: This includes the cost of medical treatment you received for your injuries, such as hospital bills, surgeries, medications, therapy, and rehabilitation.

Lost Wages: If your injury has caused you to miss work or affected your ability to earn income in the future, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages and loss of earning capacity.

Non-economic Damages

Pain and Suffering: This refers to the physical and emotional pain, discomfort, and distress you have experienced due to your injury. It encompasses the immediate pain and any long-term suffering or limitations caused by the injury.

Emotional Distress: In addition to physical pain, you may also recover damages for emotional distress, such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other psychological injuries resulting from the accident.

Disfigurement or Disability: If your injury has left you with permanent scars, disfigurement, or disabilities that affect your appearance or ability to perform daily activities, you may be compensated for these losses.

Loss of Enjoyment of Life: If your injury has diminished your ability to participate in activities and hobbies you once enjoyed, you may be entitled to damages for the loss of enjoyment of life.

Loss of Consortium: If your injury has negatively impacted your relationship with your spouse or family members, they may be able to recover damages for the loss of companionship, support, and services.

Punitive Damages

In cases of extreme negligence or intentional harm, the court may award punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct in the future. Our lawyers will pursue this possibility and build a strong case for punitive damages if the defendant’s conduct has been particularly egregious or intentional, with complete disregard for the safety of others.

Application of California Personal Injury Laws

Californias personal injury laws offer specific guidelines and protections for individuals trying to get compensation for their injuries. Additionally, case laws, including landmark court decisions and legal precedents, significantly influence the outcome of personal injury claims.

At Crown & Stone Law, P.C., our competent lawyers strategically leverage not only the statutory framework but also the legal precedents established by California courts.

The Burden of Proof in California Personal Injury Cases

In California, personal injury cases are guided by a civil legal framework wherein the injured party (plaintiff) pursues compensation for damages resulting from another party's negligent actions (defendant). The burden of proof in these cases rests with the plaintiff, necessitating the presentation of compelling evidence to support their claims.

Personal injury cases operate under the "preponderance of evidence" standard, wherein the plaintiff must show it is more likely than not that the defendant's negligence directly caused the injuries and resulting damages. Unlike the stringent "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard in criminal cases, this standard offers a less demanding threshold for proof.

Duty of Care: Demonstrating that the defendant owed a duty of care to the plaintiff.
Breach of Duty: Proving that the defendant breached this duty through negligent actions or omissions.
Causation: Establishing a direct link between the defendant's breach of duty and the injuries suffered by the plaintiff.
Damages: Providing evidence of the specific damages incurred due to the defendant's negligence.

At Crown & Stone Law, P.C., our investigators and attorneys will move fast to collect all possible evidence to meet the burden of proof. Backed by compelling evidence and arguments, we will negotiate with the defendants from a position of strength, while remaining fully prepared to go to trial, if needed.

Evidence We will Collect to Prove the Liability of the Defendants and Maximize Damages

At Crown & Stone Law, P.C., we recognize the importance of evidence and documentation in building a strong case for compensation under California law for our clients.

Complete Medical Records

Our attorneys work closely with medical professionals to ensure all relevant medical records are obtained, including hospital reports, physician notes, diagnostic tests, and treatment plans.

These records provide detailed documentation of your injuries, their severity, and the necessary medical care. This information is vital for demonstrating the extent of your damages to insurance companies or in court.

Official Reports and Testimonies

We collaborate with law enforcement agencies to obtain official accident reports and gather statements from witnesses who observed the incident.

These reports and testimonies provide objective accounts of the accident and help establish liability by corroborating your version of events, strengthening the credibility of your claim.

Visual Documentation

Our legal team collects photographs and videos from various sources, including surveillance cameras, dash cams, and smartphones, to capture key aspects of the accident scene, damages, and injuries.

Visual evidence serves as powerful corroborating proof. It provides a clear visual representation of the accident's circumstances and the resulting damages, making it easier for insurance adjusters or jurors to understand the impact of the incident.

Financial and Employment Records

Our California lawyers assist clients in gathering documentation of lost wages, medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and other related expenses from employers, medical providers, and other relevant sources.

These financial and employment records help quantify the economic losses incurred as a result of the accident, providing concrete evidence of the financial impact on your life and livelihood, which is essential for calculating fair compensation.

Insurance Policies and Correspondence

Your California personal injury attorney will review and analyze insurance policies to understand the coverage available and the obligations of the insurance companies.

We maintain careful records of all communication with insurance adjusters, medical providers, and other relevant parties, including emails, letters, and phone calls.

This documentation ensures transparency and accountability throughout the claims process, allowing us to address any discrepancies or disputes effectively and advocate for your rights.

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit?

In California, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury or discovery of the injury. Our experienced attorneys can help you understand and comply with these deadlines to ensure your rights are protected.
