- Whiplash and soft tissue injuries

- Broken bones
- Internal bleeding and organ damage

What To Do After a Car Accident in Menlo Park
If you’ve been in a crash, protecting your health and your legal rights is critical. Here’s what you should do:
- Call 911 and report the accident to Police
- Get medical attention immediately
- Exchange insurance and contact information with the other party
- Take photographs of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and your injuries
- Collect witness information if available
- Avoid admitting fault or discussing the crash on social media
- Contact our Menlo Park car accident lawyers before speaking to any insurance company, even your own insurance company
The steps you take right after a crash can make or break your claim.
Do I Really Need a Lawyer?
Yes—especially if you were injured. Insurance companies are not on your side. They want to pay as little as possible, as quickly as possible. Without legal representation, you risk:
- Settling for far less than your case is worth
- Making statements that hurt your claim
- Signing documents that you shouldn’t sign
- Making legal missteps
- Missing key legal deadlines
- Failing to secure evidence that may be critical to your case
Our Menlo Park car accident attorneys are here to protect you, handle all communications, and maximize your compensation.
When Should I Contact a Lawyer?
It’s best to contact an attorney as soon as possible after a crash. You should reach out to us if:
- You have any injuries that required medical care
- You’ve missed work because of your injuries
- There’s a dispute about who caused the crash
- The insurance company is delaying or denying your claim
- You feel overwhelmed and unsure about next steps
The earlier we get involved, the better we can build a strong case for you.

What Compensation Can I Recover?
If another driver’s negligence caused your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses – including ER visits, hospital stays, surgery, doctor visits, physical therapy, chiropractic care, and future care
- Lost wages – if you missed any work or can’t return to your job
- Reduced earning capacity – if your injury affects your future income
- Pain and suffering damages– for the physical and emotional harm
- Property damage – including your vehicle and any personal property
- Out-of-pocket expenses – like transportation, co-pays, prescription costs
- Wrongful death damages – if you lost a loved one in the accident
We fight tirelessly to recover every dollar you deserve.
What If the Other Driver Doesn’t Have Insurance?
If you were hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) policy. Our team will help you navigate these complex claims and fight for your rights.
What If I Was a Passenger?
Passengers injured in car accidents have just as much right to compensation as drivers. Whether you were in a friend’s car, a rideshare vehicle, or another vehicle, we can help you file your claim and recover damages for your injuries.
