What to Do After a Car Accident in Watsonville
The steps you take immediately after a crash can impact your health and your legal claim. Here’s what to do:
- Call 911 report the accident to Police 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, even your own.
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.
We’ll help you protect your rights and build a strong case from the start.
Do I Really Need a Lawyer?
If you were injured in the accident, hiring a lawyer is essential. Insurance companies are not on your side. 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
With The Hassell Law Group by your side, you have advocates who know how to fight—and win.
When Should I Contact a Lawyer?
You should contact us as soon as possible after your crash if:
- You suffered any injury that required medical treatment
- You’re dealing with lost income or long-term recovery
- The other driver was not insured or fled the scene
- You’re unsure what your rights are, or unsure who was at fault
- The insurance company is delaying or denying your claim
Early legal representation increases your chances of securing full compensation.

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 caused
- 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 the driver who caused the crash was uninsured or underinsured, you may still be able to recover compensation through your Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) policy. We can help you understand your coverage and fight for your rights.
What If I Was a Passenger?
Passengers injured in car accidents have the same rights to seek compensation as drivers. Whether the at-fault party was your driver or another motorist, we will help you pursue the compensation you need to recover.
