What to Do Immediately After a Car Accident in California or Nevada

After a car crash, your actions can greatly impact your physical recovery and legal rights. First, seek medical attention—even if you feel fine, internal injuries may take time to appear. Call the police and get a formal report. Document the scene by taking photos, collecting witness info, and noting road and weather conditions. These steps create a solid foundation for your personal injury claim.

If your car was totaled or you got injured in the crash, it's important to seek legal advice promptly to protect your rights and maximize your compensation.

Why You Should Speak to a Car Accident Lawyer Before the Insurance Company

Insurance companies are not on your side. Their goal is to pay out as little as possible—and they’re trained to get you to settle fast. At Mendez & Sanchez APC, our car crash attorneys protect your rights from day one. We handle all communication with insurers, investigate your claim thoroughly, and fight for the full compensation you deserve for medical bills, lost wages, vehicle damage, pain and suffering, and long-term care if needed.

We recently secured $1.2 million for a client injured in a multi-car freeway collision in Los Angeles. The insurance company initially offered $150,000. After aggressive litigation and expert testimony, we fought—and won—eight times that amount.

FAQ: Car Accident Lawyers in California

  • When should I contact a lawyer after a car crash? As soon as possible. Early legal advice helps preserve evidence and avoid costly mistakes.
  • How much does a car accident lawyer cost? We work on a contingency fee—meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case.
  • Can I still recover damages if I was partly at fault? Yes. California follows comparative fault laws. You may still receive compensation even if you're partially responsible.
  • What if the other driver doesn't have insurance? We can help you file an uninsured/underinsured motorist claim through your own policy.
