Banking on oil and agriculture to support the local economy in the past, Bakersfield has made a transition towards a city rich in arts, culture, and sports. The city hosts Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park, a sight for history fanatics around the world.

Connecting Bakersfield with the rest of California, the Mojave and Golden State freeway are two important routes on which many of the local’s livelihood depends upon. However, with connections to the crowded state, there is a huge influx of traffic in and out of the city. You may not be surprised to see an accident whenever you drive to or from Bakersfield, making it a cause for concern for residents.

Bakersfield Car Accidents

In a 2017 car accident report, Bakersfield had more than 3,200 car accidents, with 2,117 car accident victims sustaining injuries. Bakersfield is no stranger to a serious car accident once in a while and in the same year, almost 55 people lost their lives to fatal car accidents. The report went on to state that distracted driving, negligence, and overspeeding were the three main causes of accidents in the city.

What to Do After a Car Accident?

A car wreck can have serious implications on the victim’s life from paying hefty medical bills to unpaid leave from work, and more. These disrupt the quality of life and if there are serious injuries, there is no guarantee whether the victim will ever return to their normal life.

In such situations, the major factor that stresses out an individual is the financial burden from a car accident. You shouldn’t be the one to shoulder the financial repercussions for an accident that was not your fault so here are some tips that you should follow to help you when filing claims.

Report to the Relevant Authorities

After an accident occurs, it is important to head to a safe spot and call up the police so that they can head over to the accident scene to file a report. The report is important and can aid in the claim’s process. Once you’ve reported the incident to the cops, call your insurance company and let them know of the situation.

Collect Evidence

Now is the right time to collect evidence. Take a couple of pictures of the vehicle from different angles. These details help assess the severity of the damage to the victim and aids in determining the value of the compensation. You should also take photographs of the accident site.

Approach the other driver and exchange the details. Make sure to get their name, insurance details, and their driver’s license number. Talk to nearby witnesses and try to get their contact details as it will help your personal injury case.

Get Medical Help

Once you have collected the evidence, head to the medical center or hospital for examination of injuries and start your medical treatment.

Make sure you disclose all details of the accident to medical professions as it will help them better assess your medical state and recommend treatment accordingly.

Contact an Experienced Car Accident Attorney

You mustn’t speak to anyone else about the incident as they can use some information against you. Get in touch with our experienced Bakersfield car accident lawyer to assess your case while investigating the accident scene to collect information for building a strong personal injury claims case.

What Should You Look for in a Bakersfield Car Accident Attorney?

You must consider the following when choosing a lawyer for your personal injury case:

  • Get a car accident lawyer who has the right qualifications and experience to tackle your case. Oftentimes, it is not just qualification that helps win a case but the resources a lawyer has to draw upon to ensure a solid victory. Remember, the other side may also have a lawyer and need someone to provide you with the best legal representation.
  • The personal injury law firm has connections with medical experts to help determine the value of your claims. Calculating claims and proving them to insurance companies is not a task an amateur attorney can handle.
  • The attorney takes each case seriously as if it were their duty of care. Such lawyers will not rest until they have filed your car accident injury claim and gotten you the compensation you deserve.
  • The attorney has the right negotiation skills to deal with the insurers on your behalf and agree on a fair settlement. If the insurer refuses, the attorney should have the experience of taking insurance companies to trial.
