San Bernardino Personal Injury Attorneys

If you drive in Los Angeles, you are at 48.5% greater risk than the national average to be involved in a car accident. We at El Dabe Ritter Trial Lawyers very much hope that doesn’t happen to you — but if it does, calling us should be one of the first things you do.

Why should you talk with a personal injury attorney in San Bernardino as soon as possible after being involved in a car accident? One word: insurance. No matter what your insurance company says in their ads on television, your insurance company is not on your side. Insurance companies look for a reason to deny your claim, and if that isn’t an option they will look for reasons to pay out as little as they possibly can. Their agenda is to maximize their own profit, not help their policyholders.

Likewise, the police officer sent to investigate your car accident is not your friend. The officer is concerned with determining who is at fault and issuing a citation. Distracted by traffic, talking with worried and possibly injured drivers and passengers, and consulting excited witnesses, police officers can and do make mistakes.

AFTERMATH OF A CAR ACCIDENT

In the immediate aftermath of a car accident, it’s wisest to stay calm and say as little as possible. You are required by law to provide the investigating officer and the other driver(s) with:

• Your name
• Driver’s license number
• The vehicle identification number of the car you’re driving
• The name and address of the car’s owner
• The name and address of your insurance company
• Your insurance policy number

Say nothing else until you’ve consulted a San Bernardino personal injury attorney because there’s too much danger your statements may be construed as an admission of guilt. Likewise, do not sign anything until you’ve talked with an attorney. Please don’t hesitate to visit our website for more helpful hints. Our advice for dealing with a car accident can be found on this page.

You can’t lose by contacting El Dabe Ritter Trial Lawyers after your car accident, and in fact, you have everything to gain from doing so. We offer a free consultation–and free advice from legal experts is priceless. Even if you’ve already been offered a settlement by your insurance company or the other drivers, a personal injury attorney in San Bernardino can save you from being cheated out of the compensation you deserve for the damages involved in your own unique case.
