Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injuries In Stockton, California
Personal injuries can throw a victim’s entire world in disarray. When you have questions, you need answers fast. At Bird & Van Dyke, Inc., our attorneys are often asked the following:
What should I do if I’ve been hurt in a hit-and-run in the Stockton, California, area?
Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime – but people do it. If you suspect that the other driver in your accident is about to flee (or they have already done so), do the following:
- Grab your phone and use your camera to get as much information as you can. A photo can help identify the other driver’s car, make, model and any other identifying features. If your camera is not handy, try to remember as much information as you can so you can make a report.
- Call 911. Ask for immediate emergency assistance from the police and the medical care you need. This will help document the situation for your insurance company.
- Inform your insurance company. Keep the conversation brief and factual. Let your insurer know about your injuries and property damage and inform them that the other driver fled.
Finally, contact a Stockton personal injury lawyer about your legal options. If the other driver is never identified, you may be able to file a claim through your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage and any collision insurance you may have.
What should I do first if I’ve been in a car crash in Stockton or surrounding areas?
Seek immediate medical assistance by calling 911. Prompt medical attention not only helps identify any hidden injuries but also establishes a clear connection between the accident and the harm you have suffered. That can be useful later when you file a personal injury claim.
