With over twenty-five million registered automobiles on the roads in the state of California, it is relatively common to see an accident as you are driving down the road. While it is one thing to witness an accident on the side of the road, it is very different when you are involved and sustain a serious injury. If you have been hurt in an auto accident in the San Francisco area, it is advisable to speak with a skilled San Francisco auto accident attorney right away.Â
An accident is unpredictable, and when it happens to you, it is unlikely that you will be prepared. Although no two accidents are exactly alike, some of the common injuries that we see with clients who have been involved in an auto accident have included:
Even an accident at low speeds on a relatively quiet street can result in a serious injury to all of those who were involved. At times, injuries take days or even weeks to present, and this is especially true with traumatic brain injuries, whiplash, and other muscle strains. For this reason, your first step after an accident should be to visit a doctor who can perform a complete evaluation and check for symptoms of a serious injury.Â
Regardless of the type of injuries that you have experienced as a result of a car accident, the recovery process can be both long and expensive. For this reason, it is advisable to speak with an experienced auto accident attorney to learn more about your legal options. Your attorney will work to establish all of the parties who could potentially be liable for the accident. They will also collect information to determine the extent of your injuries and the cost associated with them.Â
Common damages that could be listed in order to claim compensation often include medical expenses, lost wages due to time that you are unable to work, lost future earnings, predicted future medical expenses, damage to property, and the list goes on. Your attorney will work with you to determine the extent of the damage and then put together a list of damages to bring to the insurance company when asking for just compensation in a settlement.Â
