Car Accident Attorney in San Diego

Common causes of car accidents in San Diego can include but are not limited to distracted driving, speeding, reckless driving, impaired driving (due to alcohol or drugs), running red lights, and adverse weather conditions. As noted above, more than half of the time, these accidents occur due to someone else's negligence, which is why taking legal action is crucial.

After a car accident, it's essential to prioritize your safety. Specifically, here are the steps you should follow: 

• Check for injuries and call for medical help if needed.
• Contact the police to report the accident.
• Exchange information with the other party involved.
• Collect evidence, such as photos and videos of the scene and witness contact information.
• Contact Morgan and Morgan to have your case reviewed by a car accident specialist from our team.

Yes, don't ignore the importance of seeking medical attention, even if injuries seem minor. That's because some injuries may seem minor to the naked eye but serious in the actual sense. Even if you don't feel any pain or discomfort, you should seek medical attention within 72 hours of the accident.

While the other party accepting liability is significant to your case, having a police report can provide an official record of the incident. This report can be helpful for insurance claims and legal proceedings.  

Even if the insurance company wants to settle, consulting with a car accident attorney is in your best interest. They can assess the fairness of the settlement offer, help you understand the full extent of your damages, and negotiate on your behalf to ensure you receive fair compensation.

It's generally not advisable to provide a recorded statement to the insurance company without consulting your attorney first. Insurance companies may use recorded statements against you in and out of court, so having legal guidance ensures you don't inadvertently harm your case.

No, you are not, even if the insurance company tries to make you believe so. In many cases, the initial offer may not fully cover your damages, and that's because insurance companies only care about their bottom line. On the other hand, an accident attorney usually has your best interests at heart and can help evaluate the offer and determine if it's fair.
