What to Do After a Car Accident in California
The actions you take in the hours after a car accident in Fontana, San Bernardino, Ontario, or anywhere in Southern California can directly impact the value of your personal injury claim. Here is exactly what to do:
① Call 911 Immediately
Even for minor accidents, getting a police report on record is critical. The report becomes a key piece of evidence in your California car accident claim. Do not leave the scene before officers arrive.
② Document Everything
Photograph vehicle damage, road conditions, skid marks, traffic signs, and your injuries. Get names, phone numbers, and insurance information from all drivers and witnesses present at the scene.
③ Seek Medical Care
See a doctor even if you feel fine. Whiplash, TBI, and soft tissue injuries often appear 24–72 hours after impact. Delayed treatment gives insurers grounds to dispute the connection between the crash and your injuries.
④ Do NOT Give a Recorded Statement
The other driver's insurance adjuster will call you. Do not give a recorded statement without an attorney present. Anything you say can and will be used to minimize your claim. Simply say you have an attorney.
⑤ Call Gonzales Law — Free 24/7
Call 909-587-6336 before accepting any settlement offer. Insurance companies are not on your side. Victims who hire an attorney recover an average of 3–4× more than those who negotiate alone.
California Statute of Limitations
You have 2 years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit in California. If a government vehicle was involved (city bus, Omnitrans, Metrolink), the deadline is only 6 months. Do not wait.
