Why You Need a Long Beach Car Accident Attorney

Many car accident victims believe they can handle their legal claims on their own. However, navigating California's legal system can feel like walking through a maze with no compass to point north. California is a comparative negligence state, meaning you can still earn partial compensation if you're found partially responsible for the accident.

Not only that, but insurance companies won't go down without a fight. They will not hesitate to play dirty to try and reduce or deny your claim, and they may try to pressure or intimidate you into settling for a lower amount than you deserve.

Our attorneys won't stand for this. We'll fight back and make sure you get the justice you deserve. We know how to counter these nasty tricks and hold insurance companies accountable for the damages.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Long Beach

If you've found yourself in a car accident in the Long Beach area, take a deep breath. It's important to keep a level head to help you make the right choices and keep yourself and others safe. Follow these steps after a car accident to protect yourself and make sure you earn the proper compensation:

Compass outlined icon

Step 1: Ensure Your Safety & Call 911

Before anything else, make sure youre safe. Move your car out of the way of traffic if you can, and check to see if you have any serious injuries. Call 911 to report the accident and have them send over the police and emergency medical services.

Compass outlined icon

Step 2: Gather Evidence

Once you know you're safe, collect as much evidence as you can. Take photos of the scene and your car, record any witness testimonies, and exchange contact information with the other drivers. You'll also need to grab a copy of the formal police report from the accident. We will use all of this to build your case later on.

Step 3: Seek Immediate Medical Attention

No matter how minor your injuries, have a medical professional look you over regardless. There could be hidden injuries that might pop up later if left untreated, and you'll need medical documentation of your injuries for your case.

Understanding Your Legal Rights & Compensation

California law states that car accident victims have the right to financial compensation for the damages incurred in the incident. These damages are divided into three main categories: economic damages, non-economic damages, and punitive damages.

Compass outlined icon

Economic Damages: These are damages with exact monetary values, such as medical bills, property damage, and lost wages.

Compass outlined icon

Non-Economic Damages: These are damages that don't have a physical value, such as emotional distress, pain and suffering, and loss of quality of life.

Compass outlined icon

Punitive Damages: If reckless or malicious behaviors caused the accident, punitive damages are additional fees added to your compensation meant to punish the individual for their behaviors.

How Long Do You Have to File a Claim?

The state of California has a deadline by which you can file a legal claim after a car accident. You have 2 years from the date of the accident to file your claim and receive compensation. The longer you wait, the more difficult the filing process will be, so it's best to file as soon as you're able to for the best results.

There are a handful of instances where you may have longer than 2 years to file. If the claim is being filed for a minor involved in the accident, that 2-year countdown starts when they turn 18. If the accident involved a government-owned vehicle, you may also have a different timeline to file a claim.

Dealing with Insurance Companies

At the end of the day, insurance companies are businesses that don't want to lose money. They will try every trick in the book to reduce your compensation or deny it entirely. If the other party's insurance company wants to talk to you individually after an accident, you have the right to say no. They may try to pressure you, but you have no obligation to meet with them.

Contact a car accident attorney in Long Beach and communicate with insurance companies through them. Our team knows how to counter these tactics, and we'll fight by your side to make sure you get the maximum compensation available.

Client Testimonials

Jerry

After 10 accidents and 9 attorneys, the client met Simon, who stood out for his honesty and clear communication. Years later, after another accident, the client called Simon and was impressed by his professionalism and follow-through. Simon explained everything, connected him with top doctors, and kept every promise. It was the first time the client felt truly supported—highly recommending Simon and Joseph for their integrity and dedication.

Jacob

Jacob was rear-ended by a big rig and left nearly paralyzed for a year. He found Cooper Law Group, and Joseph and Simon personally helped him through the legal process. Over two years, they ensured he got the medical care and surgeries he needed, helped repair his car, and secured the compensation he deserved. He highly recommends them for truly fighting for their clients.
