What to Do After an Injury in Oakland

1. Seek Medical Care

Contact emergency services and get urgent medical care. No matter the severity of the injuries, seeing a doctor gives you medical documentation of your injuries that you can use when filing your claim.

2. Document The Incident

Take photos of the scene, record your injuries, and get any eyewitness statements.

3. File a Police Report

Work with the police officer on the scene to file a formal police report. Be as detailed as possible in your testimony without trying to point fingers at anybody.

4. Don't Speak with Insurers

If the other party's insurance company tries to reach out to you, you have no obligation to talk to them. In many cases, they will try to pressure you into settling for a lower compensation amount than you deserve.

5. Contact a Personal Injury Lawyer in Oakland

Common Personal Injuries & Their Impact

The physical and emotional injuries from a serious accident can linger with you for months or even years after the incident. Depending on the severity, you could be left with permanent damage that impacts your quality of life. Common injuries include:

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)

Spinal Cord Injuries

Fractures

Burns

Soft Tissue Damage

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Depression

Anxiety

Understanding California Personal Injury Law

California is a comparative negligence state, meaning that fault for an incident can be split between multiple parties. However, partial fault doesn't mean you lose out on your compensation. Your degree of fault is subtracted from your potential settlement amount. For example, 20% fault means you can still earn up to 80% of your maximum compensation.

Not only that, but the state also has a deadline by which you can file your claim, known as the statute of limitations. Victims typically have 2 years from the date of the accident to file their claim and receive compensation. The exact timeline can vary depending on the specifics of the incident.

Insurance Company Tactics to Watch Out For

Insurance companies will fight tooth and nail to try and decrease your compensation as much as possible. They may try delaying the negotiations, giving lowball offers, or even denying your claim altogether.

Having the right legal team on your side can help you combat these tactics and make sure you get your rightful settlement. Our team knows every trick in the book, and we're ready to push back against insurance companies.
