- Gather as many eyewitness accounts as possible
- Contact the police to fill out a report, if necessary
- Exchange insurance information with all parties involved
- Contact your insurance company to inform them of your accident
- Reach out to a car accident attorney near you

What Is the California Statute of Limitations for Car Accidents?
Personal Injury Lawsuits: The California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1 states that individuals may file a personal injury lawsuit for their car accident up to 2 years following the date of their accident. If you attempt to file your lawsuit after the 2 years have lapsed, your case will most likely be thrown out.
Vehicle Damage Lawsuits: If you choose to file a lawsuit over property damage alone, rather than personal injury, California Civil Procedure 338 allows you to file a lawsuit for up to 3 years after the date of your accident.
