California lidera el país en accidentes de chocar y darse a la fuga. Estos accidentes resultan en lesiones, muertes y daños a la propiedad. Pero como usted no puede identificar al conductor culpable en un accidente con fuga, no podrá pedir una indemnización a la compañía de seguros del conductor culpable.

Estas son las cosas que debe saber sobre lo que debe hacer después de un accidente de chocar y darse a la fuga en California.

Pasos que debe tomar después de un accidente de chocar y huir

Los accidentes de chocar y darse a la fuga son diferentes a los accidentes automovilísticos ordinarios. Un crimen de chocar y darse a la fuga en California está sujeto a una sentencia de cárcel y multas. Como resultado, los pasos que usted toma después de un accidente de chocar y darse a la fuga deben estar orientados a documentar completamente el accidente.

Asegurar la escena del accidente

Independientemente de cómo se produjo un accidente, la principal preocupación después de un accidente de chocar y darse a la fuga es la seguridad de usted y las otras personas involucradas en el accidente. Si hay coches en la carretera, debe colocar conos o bengalas para advertir al tráfico que se aproxima del accidente.

Deberá comprobar cómo están todas las personas en el lugar del accidente para ver si alguien necesita primeros auxilios o atención médica. Si alguien requiere atención médica, es posible que deba llamar a los servicios de emergencia para obtener ayuda y proporcionar primeros auxilios hasta que lleguen los TME.

Reportar el accidente

Bajo la ley de California, usted debe reportar un accidente que resulte en lesiones o muerte. California castiga el no notificar sobre un accidente con la suspensión del permiso de conducir.

Pero aún más importante es que chocar y darse a la fuga es un crimen. Debe reportar el accidente a la policía local o a la Patrulla de Carreteras de California. Esto satisfará su deber de reportar el accidente. También desencadenará una investigación criminal del atropello. Esto puede ayudarlo a apoyar una demanda o demanda por lesiones posterior.

Por ejemplo, muchos accidentes de chocar y darse a la fuga se producen debido a la intoxicación del conductor. Al ponerse en contacto con las fuerzas del orden locales, éstas pueden empezar a investigar quién era el otro conductor y si éste se encontraba bajo los efectos de las drogas o el alcohol. Cuando localicen al conductor, las pruebas del caso penal pueden ayudarle a establecer la responsabilidad de sus lesiones.

Documentar el accidente

Antes de salir de la escena del accidente, tome fotos o videos de las lesiones y daños a la propiedad que se presentaron. Trate de tomar fotos de cada vehículo involucrado en el accidente. Esto podría ayudarle a usted y a su abogado a reconstruir lo que pasó.

Proporcione a la policía toda la información que pueda para ayudarles a identificar al conductor que choco y se dio a la fuga. Cuanto más información tengan, mejores serán las posibilidades de que atrapen al conductor. Si la policía identifica al conductor, puede intentar recuperar la compensación de la aseguradora del conductor.

Por último, obtenga información de contacto de cualquier testigo. Si se identifica al conductor, es posible que necesite el testimonio de cualquier persona que haya visto el accidente en una demanda o reclamación al seguro.

Busque atención médica

Incluso si no necesita primeros auxilios o atención en el lugar del accidente, todavía debe ver a un médico. Un examen médico poco después de que se produzca el accidente puede tener algunas ventajas para una reclamación por lesiones.

Un médico puede diagnosticar sus lesiones. A veces, una lesión menor puede ser más grave de lo que parecía. Por ejemplo, un dolor de espalda puede que sea causado por una hernia discal.

El médico también puede prescribirle un tratamiento. Dado que las reclamaciones por lesiones incluyen gastos médicos pasados y futuros, un plan de tratamiento le ayudará a estimar sus daños.

Su visita al médico corroborá que sus lesiones le hicieron faltar al trabajo. Las reclamaciones por lesiones también cubren la pérdida de ingresos. Una nota del médico en la que se indique que debe permanecer en casa sin trabajar le ayudará a demostrar la cantidad de ingresos que ha perdido debido a sus lesiones.

Revise su póliza de seguro

Hasta que se identifique al conductor que chocó y se dio a la fuga, es posible que tenga beneficios bajo su póliza de seguro de automóvil que pueden ayudarlo a pagar las facturas médicas y cubrir sus ingresos perdidos.

Usted puede presentar una reclamación por un accidente de atropello bajo su póliza si tiene cobertura de automovilista sin seguro. La mayoría de las pólizas de seguro incluyen automovilistas no identificados dentro de la definición de automovilistas sin seguro.

También puede presentar una reclamación en virtud de su póliza si tiene cobertura de pago médico o de protección contra lesiones personales (PIP). La cobertura médica pagará por cualquier gasto médico de su bolsillo que su seguro médico no cubra. PIP cubre tanto los gastos médicos no reembolsados como una parte de los ingresos que perdió debido a sus lesiones.

Obtener ayuda después de un accidente de choque y huida

Muchos abogados en lesiones carecen de experiencia en reclamaciones por accidentes de choque y fuga. Los accidentes donde un choca y huye ocurren con menos frecuencia que los accidentes automovilísticos ordinarios y muchos abogados en lesiones nunca reciben un caso de accidente por chocar y darse a la fuga. Cuando busque un abogado que le ayude con su reclamación por lesiones tras un accidente de choque y fuga, debe tener en cuenta la experiencia del bufete en accidentes de choque y fuga.

What Our Clients Say

Honestly can't say enough positive things about the Law Brothers! I got into a severe car accident at the end of 2016 and they've been with me every step of the way ever since. Almost 4 years! I want to thank everyone there especially Caitlyn, Shawn, and Yasmeen. They have been responsive, helpful, and reassuring and I don't know what I would've done if I didn't have the legal support that I was able to get along the years. They are super professional and really helped me get through this hardship in my life. I would definitely recommend!!!

Ivonne K.

Last year I contacted your law firm when I got into a car accident. the gentleman that handled my case, his name was Cesar. Cesar was very helpful and compassionate about my situation. He helped me get my car fixed very quickly and was super patient with me. He answered all of my questions and ensured me that everything will be taken care of. Once my case was settled I ended up getting more than I was expecting, which was amazing. I highly recommended Cesar and this law firm to anyone that needs help.

William Charlton

I was a client to the Law Brothers firm for about a year, the staff is really nice and professional. I would get updates on the case status and when I did call I would usually get a call back within 24 hours. I really appreciate the work that was done for me. I got the most out of my settlement and when I called to have a break down of the costs, Genesis was very patient and gave me a break down on all of it. I will definitely recommend this law firm to friends and family, as well as call them in the future if needed (hopefully not soon).

Erendira Landa

I had gotten into an accident and had no idea what to do. Friends and family recommended I get a lawyer since I was not at fault. I found this firm and I was beyond impressed. They handled everything for me from car insurance questions to finding doctors for me to visit. After my accident all I had to do was make appointments with various doctors to help with my pain. I give five stars because this firm went above and beyond and continued to follow up with me. I highly recommend if you are in need of a lawyer to use them.

The team at the Law Brothers we’re amazing! I am not the kind of person to seek legal counsel, but I was hit by a car while riding a motorcycle and the driver’s insurance was avoiding my attempts to get reimbursed. They were able to not only get a settlement that replaced my motorcycle, but they found me physical therapy which was close to my work. Now I am back to where I was physically before the accident and I am able to ride a motorcycle again. They were always responsive to my texts, calls, and emails. They even would systematically check to see how I was healing and if the support they linked me to was satisfactory.

Charles Mortensen

This law firm is a team of miracle workers! The Law Brothers Law Firm saved me from suffering at another law firm from Century City. My case manager Jonathan was able to gather all the details from my accident ( literally within a week! ) and keeping me updated consistenty to keep me at ease. They work diligently and keep at it until your case is completed. I went through a car accident that almost took my life away but thanks to the higher power and the Law Brothers, you won't even hesitate to choose them because I felt trust and integrity throughout my case and I feel happier in my life, which in my opinion, matters the most at the end of the day.
