After an Accident, Stay Calm and Gather Evidence

The Law Offices of Burg and Brock, led by LA accident lawyer extraordinaire Cameron Yadidi Brock, has represented its fair share of clients following a debilitating vehicle accident. While the firm has a 99% success rate, more information relating to the accident always makes our work as a vehicle accident lawyer easier. So, following an accident, here are some tips to help your case if you don't need emergency treatment:

• Taking pictures is key. The more pictures, the better, especially if your pictures can include landmarks or addresses to help place the scene.
• Talk to witnesses. Get their contact information and phone numbers.
• Swap insurance information with the other person. Be pleasant, but don't talk too much. Never admit fault, even if you think it was your fault (it might not be!). 
• Write down everything you remember the other person saying. Do not secretly record audio of the conversation, however, without their permission as it's a crime and generally not admissible in court.
• If the other person makes you an offer for a settlement on the spot, get it in writing. Do not take their word.
