Los Angeles Car Accident Lawyer
A car accident can upend your life in seconds — medical bills, missed work, a totaled vehicle, and an insurance company that wants to close your claim for as little as possible. You don't have to handle any of that alone.
Solvenza Law represents car accident victims throughout Los Angeles and California on a contingency basis: you pay nothing upfront, and no fees at all unless you recover. Your case is handled directly by an attorney from the first call.
What to do right now after a car accident
Get to safety and call 911
Move out of traffic if you can and report the accident. Ask for police and, if anyone is hurt, medical help. A police report becomes key evidence later.
Get medical attention — even if you feel fine
Adrenaline masks injuries. Whiplash, concussions, and soft-tissue injuries often appear days later, and a prompt medical record ties your injuries to the crash.
Document the scene
Photograph vehicle damage, license plates, the road, skid marks, and your injuries. Collect names, phone numbers, and insurance details from drivers and witnesses.
Report the crash
In California, accidents involving injury, death, or more than $1,000 in property damage generally must be reported to the DMV (Form SR-1) within 10 days.
Don't give recorded statements or accept a quick offer
The other driver's insurer may call fast with a lowball offer. You are not required to give them a recorded statement. Talk to an attorney first — the consultation is free.

Filing deadlines
In California, most car accident injury claims must be filed within two years of the crash (Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1), and claims against government entities can require action in as little as six months. Deadlines vary by situation — speak with an attorney promptly to protect your claim.
