5 Mistakes to Avoid After a Car Accident in Los Angeles
The following article is provided by Solum Space Law, APC for general information only and should not be taken as legal advice. Every case is unique—if you have questions about protecting your rights after an injury in Southern California, call our office for a free consultation.
Los Angeles is one of the busiest — and most dangerous — cities for drivers. If you’ve been in a car accident, your actions in the minutes, hours, and days after the crash can make or break your personal injury case.
At Solum Space Law APC, we help accident victims in Beverly Hills, Century City, and throughout California avoid costly mistakes.
Mistake #1: Not Calling the Police
Without a police report, proving fault becomes more difficult.
Mistake #2: Skipping Medical Treatment
Some injuries, like concussions or soft tissue damage, may take days to appear. Delaying treatment gives insurers ammunition to downplay your claim.
Mistake #3: Admitting Fault at the Scene
Even a simple “I’m sorry” can be twisted into an admission of liability.
Mistake #4: Talking to Insurance Adjusters Alone
Insurance companies are trained to minimize payouts. Anything you say can be used against you.
Mistake #5: Waiting Too Long to Call a Lawyer
California’s statute of limitations gives you only two years to act, and evidence can disappear much sooner.
