Uninsured, under-insured? What to do.
Thursday, February 25th, 2010If you have been involved in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured motorist, you need to take some steps to protect yourself. First, collect as much information as you possibly can such as names, addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, driver’s license information, vehicle license plate or any other information that seems relevant. If you have a camera in the car or a cell phone equipped with a camera, take as many pictures as you can of the accident scene. Focus on documenting the damage and the accident scene including vehicle damage, road conditions, traffic signals, stop signs and signage. Never admit to causing the accident although you believe it may have been your fault. Let California law enforcement investigate and determine the facts of the case. Also, get contacts for eyewitnesses. And consider contacting a Los Angeles Accident Lawyer.
