Parking lots may not seem like an obvious place in which car accidents take place but because people are often distracted, whether by cell phones, a search for parking spots, the very close proximity of all of the vehicles, or simply other pedestrians, car accidents are a very common occurrence in Los Angeles parking lots.
If you find yourself in a parking lot accident, you must follow the same procedures that you would if you got into an accident anywhere else. First and foremost, make sure everyone involved is okay. After taking account of all of the details of the accident, make sure you also get everyone’s contact information, insurance information, and the statements and contact info of any witnesses in the nearby vicinity. Having certain tools handy, in advance, can help you tremendously. For example, a disposable camera, a pad and a pen, a first aid kit, and a traffic warning kit containing flares and hazard triangles are always helpful to have.
Once you have ascertained that everyone is safe, do your best to move your car to the side, and if possible, well out of the way of other cars which are moving in and out of the parking lot. If for any reason you are unable to move your car, stay seated with your seatbelt buckled until the police or ambulance arrives.
Once the required information has been exchanged and recorded, it is important to seek out appropriate medical attention as soon as you can. These medical records can prove to be an important document of any personal injuries you have sustained, as well as an evidentiary source to be used during negotiations for settlement and trial.
Because all matters related to settlement negotiation and trial are complex and difficult, it is important to have an experienced personal injury attorney or car accident lawyer at your side to protect you and guide you through all of the legal processes so that you may acquire the compensation in damages you deserve for sustained injuries, property damage, and more. The highly skilled Los Angeles personal injury lawyers at California Attorney Group have extensive experiences dealing with Los Angeles car accident claims, no matter where they have taken place.
