Car accidents can be overwhelming, especially in a busy city like Los Angeles. Knowing what steps to take immediately after a crash can protect your health and your legal rights.

First, make sure everyone is safe and call 911 if there are any injuries. Even if the accident seems minor, getting a police report can be crucial later. Seek medical attention as soon as possible—some injuries don’t show symptoms right away.

Next, document the scene. Take photos, gather contact information from witnesses, and exchange insurance details. Avoid discussing fault at the scene or with insurance adjusters before speaking to an attorney.
