Frequently Asked Questions 

What Should I Do After a Car Accident in Orange, California?

First and foremost, you should contact 911 for emergency services and seek medical attention. But you also want to:

1. Exchange information with the other parties to the accident, which includes full names, proof of insurance cards, a driver's license, and phone numbers.
2. Gather evidence, like pictures and video of the scene, the surrounding location, the vehicles, property damage, and injuries (if any).
3. Get the names and contact information of any eyewitnesses, as well as a brief statement, if you are able to do so, because their recollection will be best on the scene, and preservation of it will be best if recorded either in writing or by video with their permission.
4. Consult with a car accident lawyer so that you can obtain a good understanding of whether you have a case and how to go about pursuing justice.

How Do I Get Compensation for a Car Accident in Orange, California?

One of the main things that car accident victims worry about is being fairly compensated for their injuries. There are two main ways that this will generally happen, and each has its own pros and cons.

Settlement

In a car accident, resolving a case in a settlement means accepting the amount of money that an insurance company offers. One of the main benefits of handling a case this way is that it will typically end a case much quicker than going through the court system. In addition, a client and their attorney have a good deal of power during this process-they can negotiate until they get the amount they want and reject any settlement that isn't acceptable.

Going to Court

If a victim doesn't receive a fair settlement offer from the insurance claims adjuster, they may need to file a lawsuit to get their compensation. At Garcia Preciado Law, we will file the lawsuit if the insurance company makes a lowball offer. Lawsuits may result in a higher payout, but they typically take much longer and involve more costs and expenses, and there is no guarantee that a court or jury will side with you. At Garcia Preciado Law, we will pursue the best option for you.

What is Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage?

The uninsured motorist (UM) and underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage is a packaged deal. This coverage protects you in case of an accident with an uninsured or underinsured at fault driver.

At Garcia Preciado Law, we recommend you carry a minimum of $100,000/$300,000 UM/UIM coverage to protect yourself against an uninsured or underinsured driver. Or you may want to increase your UM/UIM coverage, to $250,000/$500,000, if you are the sole provider for your family or to cover your loss income or living expenses.

Sometimes, insurance company agents will ask you if you want to waive your UM/UIM coverage to save a few dollars. This is risky, and we never recommend it. If an uninsured or underinsured driver hits you, you will not have any coverage.

How Much Will a Orange Car Accident Lawyer Cost?

At Garcia Preciado Law, you don't pay any attorney fees unless we win, including costs.
