What To Do After a Car Accident in Scotts Valley
- Call 911 and get medical attention immediately.
- Document the scene – take photos, get witness contact information, and note the location.
- Don’t admit fault – things that you say can be used against you.
- Get a police report – this is a critical piece of evidence.
- Contact our car accident lawyers before speaking to any insurance company.
You should also avoid posting about the accident on social media — insurance companies look for anything they can use to dispute your claim or injuries.

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
We handle the legal side, so you can focus on recovering from your injuries.
When Should I Contact a Lawyer?
The sooner you contact us, the better. Reach out immediately if:
- You required medical care for your injuries
- You’re missing time from work
- The insurance company is pressuring you or denying your claim
- Fault is disputed
- You’re unsure how to proceed
Early involvement helps us preserve evidence and strengthen your case from the start.
What Compensation Can I Recover?
Depending on your situation, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses – including ER visits, hospital stays, 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
What If the Other Driver Doesn’t Have Insurance?
You may still have options. If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, you can file a claim under your Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) policy. We’ll help you review your coverage and pursue all available compensation.
What If I Was a Passenger?
If you were injured as a passenger, you have the same right to recover damages as the driver. Whether the crash was caused by your driver or another vehicle, we’ll help you file your claim and recover what you’re owed.

“Dawn Hassell is an absolutely brilliant attorney who employs only the brightest, most hardworking and caring lawyers.
