What To Do Immediately After a Car Accident?

In broad terms, an injured person can file a claim against the party who allegedly caused the injury through negligence. The lawsuit allows you to seek compensation, such as lost wages, medical bills/medical costs from medical treatment, and other pain and suffering costs.
Call 9-1-1 immediately to report the collision to the police or the California Highway Patrol (CHP). Talk to everyone in your vehicle to assess any injuries and inform the 9-1-1 operator while you report the accident.
According to California state law, you must move your vehicle off the street or highway if no one is injured or killed. If you do not move your vehicle or have it removed, police may have your vehicle removed or impounded.  
If a drunk driver has hit you, it is essential that you call 9-1-1 immediately and alert the operator to your suspicion, as the evidence collected by officers at the scene will be necessary for your car accident case.  
Do not admit fault. While apologizing to the other driver or accepting blame, entirely or partially, may seem polite or instinctual, admitting fault will seriously impact your ability to file a claim.
