After a car accident in California, prioritize safety and medical care. Then:

• Take photos of the scene and any damage
• Exchange insurance and contact information
• Get a police report
• Avoid discussing the accident with insurance adjusters without legal guidance

Lastly, contact a trusted California car accident lawyer like Cohn & Swartzon LLP to help protect your rights and build your case.
