If you are injured in an auto

If you are injured in an auto accident due to the fault of another party, you may be eligible to receive damages to compensate you for your injuries. It may take several weeks for injuries to appear following an auto accident, and you may feel fine immediately after the accident but later develop additional symptoms. Therefore, you should avoid agreeing to a settlement with the other driver until you talk to a California personal injury lawyer. For more information about what to do following an automobile accident, visit the California Department of Insurance’s website http://www.insurance.ca.gov/0100-consumers/0060-information-guides/0010-....
