If you’ve been hurt in a San Diego County car accident caused by another person’s reckless driving, you could be owed compensation for your injuries as well as your pain and suffering. Before you can file a claim or initiate a lawsuit, however, it’s very important that you follow some basic guidelines at the scene of the accident. After the crash, be sure to move out of the roadway if you can do so without causing further injury to yourself or others. Next, don’t forget to exchange insurance information with any other motorist involved in the crash and call the police to request an official accident report for the wreck. Anything else you can do to document the collision, such as taking photos, could also be helpful.
