First, call 911 and wait for the the San Diego Police Department or California Highway Patrol to respond. The police will secure the scene and fill out an official accident report. Your next priority should be to get medical attention. That may mean emergency care at one of San Diego’s many hospitals, like Scripps Mercy Hospital San Diego, Sharp Memorial Hospital, Kaiser Permanente San Diego Medical Center, or Alvarado Hospital Medical Center. You can also visit an urgent care center or your primary care doctor – the important thing is to get checked out right away, even if you feel fine.
Then, you need legal representation. Contact an experienced San Diego car accident lawyer right away, ideally before you talk to the insurance company.
