    What To Do After a Car Accident

    Right after a collision, it can be hard to think clearly, especially if you are in pain or worried about passengers. The steps you take in the hours and days after a crash can affect both your health and any claim you may bring later. Every situation is different, but there are some general actions that are often helpful.

    After a crash in this area, consider these steps:

    • Make safety the priority by moving to a safe location if you can, and call 911 so law enforcement and medical help can respond.
    • Accept medical attention at the scene if it is offered, and follow up with a doctor soon after, even if you feel mostly fine, since some injuries emerge over time.
    • Exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver and, if possible, take photos of the vehicles, the scene, and any visible injuries.
    • Avoid discussing fault at the scene and limit your comments to basic facts for the officer who prepares the report.
    • Notify your own insurance company promptly, but be careful about giving recorded statements before you understand your rights.

    Once the immediate emergency has passed, questions often arise about medical bills, time off work, and transportation. This is usually a good time to talk with a car accident lawyer about what happened. When you contact our firm, we listen first. We want to understand how the collision on a Eureka street or highway has affected your life. From there, we can explain what you may want to avoid saying to adjusters, what documents to keep, and how we can help manage communication with the insurance companies so that you do not have to handle everything alone.

    • Bus Accidents

      Whether you’re on a private bus or the city bus, a bus accident can cause serious damage simply because there are no seat belts keeping you in place. If you’ve been hit by a bus, you face damage from a much larger vehicle. In either case, finding the culpable party can be a challenge. An investigation, especially one run by the insurance companies, can take years without landing fruitful results. If you’ve been in a bus accident, a lawyer can help you figure out who to contact and will also speed up the investigative process to ensure that you aren’t suffering for someone else’s mistake.

    • Truck Accidents

      Trucks pose much of the same risk as buses due to their sheer size. While many truck drivers are well-trained, a tired driver or a mechanical failure can lead to disaster. If you’ve been in a truck-related accident, calling a lawyer should be your first step.

    • Train Accidents

      While rare, train accidents can lead to serious injury. If you are injured in a train crash, your health should be your first priority. However, once you begin your road to recovery, it is imperative that you contact a good lawyer to help you through the claims process. After all, your focus should be on your well-being, not on your bills.

    • Boating Accidents

      As a port city, Eureka offers plenty of options for boats and water sports. Whether you’re taking a cruise or enjoying a local boat tour, your safety is, at least in part, in someone else’s hands. If you are injured on a boat because of someone else’s carelessness, you can file for compensation.

    • Airplane Accident

      Contrary to what we see in the movie, airplane accidents are very rare. When an airplane accident does occur, however, it is often devastating if not deadly for all involved. At Kuvara Law Firm, we are here to fight for your rights and help you get back to your way of life after your accident.

    • Pedestrian Accident

      While walking is considered healthy, it isn’t always safe. Many drivers are slow to recognize pedestrians, and some drivers are just plain careless. If you’ve been hit by a driver who was careless, on their phone, or even drunk, finding a pedestrian accident lawyer to represent you should be a priority.

    • Motorcycle Accidents

      Motorcycles offer little protection for riders. While good gear and a good helmet – which should be worn when riding – can offer a small modicum of protection, many motorcycle riders sustain more physical injuries in a collision compared to their car-driving counterparts. If you are injured in a motorcycle accident, the insurance company will not have your best interests at heart.

    • Car Accidents

      Everyone in California should have car insurance. But while insurance companies are happy to charge high premiums, they will do everything in their power to get out of paying settlements. Some of what insurance companies do may even be in the gray area of legal. You may not even recognize that you are being scammed by insurance after a car accident without an experienced lawyer by your side.

    • Bicycle Accidents

      While California has made strides when it comes to sharing the road with bicycles, cyclists still face plenty of danger. Whether you are injured by a car, truck, or bus, while riding a bike, calling a lawyer can help ensure that you aren’t stuck with your medical bills and missed work hours.

    • Work-Related Accidents

      Workplace safety and security are your employer’s responsibility. While some jobs are inherently more dangerous than others, employers are legally required to ensure a reasonably safe work environment. If you are injured at work because of employer negligence, a lawsuit may not be your first thought. However, consulting with a lawyer can help ensure that you are treated fairly by both your employer and their insurance company.

    • Premises Liability

      Eureka property owners are responsible for ensuring that their property is safe. If you are injured in a store, building, or even someone’s home, Kuvara Law Firm can help you recover compensation from the property owner.

    • Product Liability

      The US has certain manufacturer safety standards to ensure the safety of consumers. Unfortunately, some manufacturers become lax, or even deliberately negligent, in an attempt to increase production time and lower production costs. For you, as a consumer, this may mean that something you purchase might end up actually causing you serious harm. Kuvara Law Firm’s product liability attorneys can help you recover compensation and hold the manufacturer responsible.

    • Wrongful Death

      Losing a loved one is never easy – especially when the loss is caused by negligence. If you’ve lost a family member due to someone else’s carelessness, Kuvara Law Firm can help you earn justice through a wrongful death lawsuit.

        "Colby was professional, caring and listened carefully to what our son's desired outcomes were."

        Our adult son was hit by a car while on vacation in San Rafael CA. We recieved the call the night before Thanksgiving 2022. We flew from MPLS to San Fransisco and got to the hospital where our son was. He was injured badly, after emergency brain surgery he was placed in a medically induced coma he woke up after three day's. We decided as a family to contact an attorney. We contacted Kuvara Law firm and talked with Colby. Colby assured us that the only interest she had was the well being of our son. She went above and beyond to navigate out of state insurance and an entire host of other issues. Our entire family would recomend Kuvara Law firm to anyone looking for representation.

        "Simply the best."
        Neal and Colby Kuvara worked tirelessly to achieve a result I am happy with. They did not promise me anything they did not deliver. Along with this, they are decent people, not something you may associate with Lawyers. They proceeded at a pace that allowed me to heal and kept me informed of all developments in a timely manner. I could not recommend them more highly.
        - Jason D.
        "They were kind, understanding, and extremely helpful in every conversation."

        Beyond grateful with the service and support the professionals at Kuvara Law Firm offered me every step of the way in this process. I know being in a situation of need and not knowing where to begin is overwhelming and quite frankly a bit scary.

        - Esmeralda M.
        "They really are a best in class firm who will fight for you."

        I would highly recommend Kuvara Law Firm to anyone who has been in an accident. Colby Kuvara was an excellent attorney who went above and beyond in guiding me through the legal process and really advocating for me in a time that was extremely stressful. Her team was very responsive and thorough through the duration of the case.
