The DONT’S AFTER AN MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT BY LOS ANGELES SERIOUS INJURY ATTORNEY STEVEN PECK

Written by Adam Peck Category: Injury Law January 16th, 2013 1 min read

DON’T move your vehicle after an automobile accident unless necessary for safety or required by law.

DON’T subject yourself to further injury by standing or waiting in an area of traffic or other safety hazards.

DON’T leave the scene of an accident until the police tell you it is okay to do so.

DON’T throw away any potential evidence in the case, such as defective products, or torn or blood-stained clothing.

DON’T remain in a burning building while calling for help. Leave the area of danger first, and then immediately call from a safe place.

DON’T engage in discussions as to fault with anyone, and make sure you don’t apologize for anything-it can be considered evidence that you were legally at fault.

DON’T agree to settlement terms without contacting your attorney.
