What to Do After a Car Accident in Soquel
Here are key steps to protect yourself after a crash:
- 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.
The sooner you get legal guidance, the stronger your case will be.

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. The Hassell Law Group knows how to stand up to insurance companies and get results.
When Should I Contact a Lawyer?
You should contact us immediately if:
- You received medical treatment after the crash
- You’re missing work and losing income
- The insurance company is pressuring you or denying your claim
- The other driver is disputing fault
- You feel overwhelmed and unsure what to do next
Early involvement allows us to preserve evidence, guide your case, and give you peace of mind.
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
We fight to recover every dollar you deserve.
