What To Do If You’re Involved in a Motorcycle or Truck Accident?

Motorcycle and truck accidents often lead to serious injuries and even fatalities in some cases. Motorcycles are too small and don’t provide enough impact protection while trucks are too big and a single collision from them can send other vehicles flying. Most accident victims are too traumatized by the accident to take the right steps and protect their interests. At Kahn Roven LLP, we recommend that people involved in these accidents should take the steps mentioned below:

1. Get away from the vehicle and call authorities

Your first priority is your health and safety. If you’re not trapped or injured by the accident, get away from the vehicle as quickly as you can and call the authorities immediately. If you delay in calling the authorities, you will compromise your safety and your legal interests.

2. Don’t speak to anyone but the medical professionals and the authorities about the accident

You should only discuss the facts of the accident with your trusted family members and authorities. Some medical professionals might need more information regarding the circumstances of your accident but most won’t question you about it. They don’t need access to the information to diagnose and treat you. Don’t discuss the accident with anyone else as that would compromise your interests.

3. Contact the attorney as soon as you’re well enough to have a consultation with them

Contact an attorney as soon as you’re well enough and have the doctor’s permission to call an attorney. The lawyer will only have 2 years to prepare for and file the case so they need to start early. There are some exemptions to the Statute of Limitations and you can discuss them with your attorney during the consultation, but for the most part, it’s important to discuss the case as quickly as you can. The details of the accident will be fresh in your mind and all external evidence will be easier to access as well.

For example, your truck accident attorney in Los Angeles will have an easier time interviewing any witnesses and getting accurate information about the case. Your Los Angeles motorcycle accident lawyer will need full access to your medical files, insurance papers, and other such documents to build a good case for you.

Personal Injury Law Firm in Los Angeles – How to Approach Them

It can be tempting to settle personal injury cases or disputes without the input and expense of a lawyer. Unfortunately, if you don’t have legal protection and assistance, you might get less compensation than you deserve. In fact, the liable party might even convince or coerce you to act against your interest and drop the matter entirely. At Kahn Roven, LLP, we encourage people involved in personal injury incidences to hire a professional lawyer. You can visit a personal injury law firm in Los Angeles and get a free first consultation.

How to Approach A Law Firm?

If you choose a good law firm, you can be certain your interests will be protected and your case will be handled by experienced professionals. Here’s how you can approach one and ask for assistance: 

Research – Before you start visiting any law firms, you should create a shortlist of possibilities. A brief Internet search will provide the names and contact details of a number of firms. Establishments like ours have detailed websites so you can browse through all the pages, look at the information regarding our services, and prepare a list of questions for the first consultation.  

Book a Consultation – A personal injury law firm in Los Angeles will have a packed schedule so it’s a good idea to book a consultation in advance. This ensures that the lawyer will schedule enough time for your consultation in their calendar so you can discuss the case at a steady pace. If you’re injured and can’t visit the law firm, you can always call to ask if they offer an at-home consultation.

Prepare for the Meeting – Once you’ve scheduled the meeting, prepare for it. Your lawyer will want to know all the details regarding the case so take the time to collect all the medical documents, witness reports and contact details, insurance papers, bills related to the injury, and other such items. It’s also a good idea to write down a detailed account of the injury causing incident so you don’t forget anything. This will help you make the most out of your first meeting at the personal injury law firm in Los Angeles.
