In the year 2001, over 3 Million people were injured in motor vehicle accidents, making it the leading cause of injury and death in the United States. The NHTSA (National Highway Transportation Safety Administration) reports that 41,300 people died as a result of those accidents, and more than one quarter of those fatalities were people under the age of 20. Even more alarming is that in 40% of those traffic accident fatalities alcohol was a contributing factor and 63% were caused from improper use of seatbelts.

If you drive or travel in an automobile, odds are you will be involved in at least one automobile accident in your lifetime. Protect yourself by observing the rules of the road and also protect yourself against uninsured and underinsured motorists by purchasing the appropriate insurance coverage. Keep in mind that you purchase liability insurance in case you injure or cause property damage to someone else, but you must carry uninsured and underinsured motorist insurance coverage to protect yourself. The statistics in California show that almost 25% of the cars and drivers on the road today are uninsured.

If you have been involved in an automobile accident or traffic collision you may be entitled to recovery of damages by the negligent party's insurance company and/or by your own if the negligent driver was uninsured or underinsured.

Never proceed with a negligence claim without first obtaining legal advice. An attorney experienced in the practice of personal injury law knows the court system, can cut through insurance company red tape, and will make sure you are justly compensated for all current and future damages.

At Orange County Lawyers we will promptly investigate a crash, determine fault, and seek to recover all legal damages. Regardless of who was at fault in your accident, victims should seek the counsel of an experienced Orange County automobile accident attorney or car accident lawyer to protect your legal rights. Within the first week, important physical evidence can be lost, and witnesses may become hard to find.

What to do in the event of an accident:

• Insist that a report be filed with the police, sheriff or highway patrol.
• Obtain the name, address, insurance information, vehicle license number and driver's license number of any and all other persons involved in the accident. Also get the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all witnesses.
• Photograph the accident scene, including all vehicles involved (before repairing) and any visible injuries (cuts, bruises).
• Talk to no one about the accident or injuries other than your doctor or lawyer, especially not an insurance adjuster.
• Sign nothing without consulting a lawyer. Truthful statements made in an attempt to be helpful can easily be misinterpreted and turned against you.
• Seek medical attention and tell your physician or surgeon exactly how the injury occurred and describe all symptoms and complaints.
• Be sure to report memory problems, confusion or disorientation, however minor these things may seem at the time.
• Immediately call an experienced and reputable personal injury law firm for a consultation.
