In the attached video, experienced San Diego attorney Elliot Kanter breaks down the crucial steps you should take immediately following a car accident. While every situation is different, Kanter emphasizes that your health and safety should always be the top priority—everything else can wait. Whether you're in shock, injured, or just unsure of what to do next, this video is an essential watch for anyone who wants to protect their well-being and legal rights after a crash.
The first and most important thing, Kanter explains, is to seek medical attention. If you’re injured and need emergency help, don’t hesitate—go with the ambulance and begin treatment right away. Even if your injuries seem minor at first, conditions like neck and back trauma can worsen over time. Consistent follow-up care is not only important for your recovery, but also strengthens any future personal injury claim.
If you're physically able to remain at the scene, be sure to exchange information with the other driver—name, address, insurance—and provide your account to the police. Kanter also highlights the value of gathering witness statements and documenting the scene, but reminds viewers that these steps can often be completed later, with help from your attorney.
Once your immediate medical needs are addressed, the next step is to speak with a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer. An experienced attorney can assess the situation, guide your treatment process, and help you determine the best course of action to pursue fair compensation for your injuries and damages.
