Reseda Car Accident Lawyers

The streets, roads, highways and freeways of California are generally safe to drive, but given the amount of traffic, accidents are bound to happen. If you find yourself involved in a collision that was caused by another motorist’s poor choices behind the wheel, you should speak with Reseda car accident lawyers with Ellis Law as soon as you are able. The law is designed to protect accident victims like you, and you may be able to seek cash compensation to cover your expenses and make up for your pain and suffering. Fight for justice with an experienced attorney in your corner. 

What to do after an accident 

The moments following an accident can be chaotic. First off, make sure you’re in a safe place. If your vehicle is on fire, teetering near a drop off, or exposed to passing traffic, you may need to move to a safer place. Assuming you are safe, examine yourself for injuries. If you think you may have suffered a spine or neck injury, it’s generally best to move as little as possible until EMTs arrive. If you’re relatively unhurt, you should exchange insurance information with other drivers and eye-witnesses. Use your phone to take pictures of the crash scene too, as you never know what might end up being crucial evidence. Make a statement to police if you must, but be careful to not admit fault, even if you think you may be partially to blame for the accident. 

Schedule a free consultation with a legal professional 

As soon as you are able, schedule a free consultation with a car accident lawyer from Ellis Law.

We can make an appointment to visit you in your home or care facility. Consultations are totally confidential, and you’re under no obligation to retain our services. We’ll work with your to put together a clear picture of what exactly happened during your accident, estimate a compensation figure that would be appropriate, and help you decide what your next steps should be. 

No upfront legal fees 

If we decide you have a case, we can get to work right away with no upfront legal fees. We know how expensive it can be to hire a lawyer but we don’t think money should be a barrier that keeps deserving people from seeking justice. To that end, each car accident attorney with Ellis Law works on contingency fees. That means we don’t get paid until you win damages or agree to a settlement. In the unlikely event you should fail to secure compensation, you won’t owe us any legal fees at all. Don’t struggle to pay medical bills, make up for missed paychecks, and fall behind on rent.
