• Call 911 and provide help to anyone who is injured
• Collect evidence: get the names and phone numbers of witnesses if you can.
• Tell the truth to investigating police officers.
• If a police department will not come to the scene, photo the other driver’s license and insurance card, license plate, damage to all vehicles and road marks.  If there was skidding, look for impending skid marks on the roadway before a wheel locks up.
• Report the collision to your insurance company; respectfully decline to discuss your injuries with your adjuster.
• Get medical care and fully report all symptoms.  If you feel a little “strange” or “buzzed” that is an important fact to provide to doctors to obtain an accurate diagnosis.
• Emergency Department doctors are there to make sure you have not suffered a life-threatening injury and if you are not admitted to the hospital for care,  they will advise you to see your own doctors.  Make that appointment immediately.
• Follow up with your primary care doctor as soon as possible and take a list of all of your symptoms – everything that doesn’t’ feel 100%.  You will need a well-documented medical history if you don’t heal completely.
• The most under-reported an undiagnosed injury is a mild traumatic brain injury caused by a rapid movement of the head, with or without loss of consciousness.  A mild TBI can have lifetime impacts.  If you are experiencing extreme fatigue, headaches, sleeplessness, difficulty remembering words or following conversations, these symptoms need to be reported to your doctors at the earliest date.
• Call the lawyers at Alexander Law Group to learn all you options and begin understanding how California’s insurance laws can give you major protection.

• Call us immediately before talking to any insurance company.  There is no charge.
• Do not attempt to file an insurance claim.  You have two years from the date of the accident to take action.  Learn what you need to know about California’s insurance law and how they can work for you.
• Do not reveal to an insurance company adjuster the injuries you have suffered, not even your own.  Your own insurance company claims adjuster will ask and when s/he talks to the wrongdoer’s insurance agent information that you want to control will be given away.  Respectfully postpone any such discussion until you have talked to us.

If you have suffered a serious injury, the lawyers you select must provide the financial resources  to fully prove your case.  Cutting-edge proof takes money – quite often lot of it. Alexander Law Group bears all costs in preparing your case with the strongest proof. That is the foundation for proving the real extent of your pain and suffering from a serious injury.

Alexander Law Group San Jose attorneys use state-of-the-art simulations and expert testimony by engineers to fully explain how crashes unfold and the forces that caused your injuries.  We retain medical experts in physical medicine and rehabilitation, in conjunction with experts in computerized evaluations of functional capacity, to objectively show loss of range of motion and dexterity caused by the defendant.  Survivors of closed head injuries have their resulting losses identified by a neurologist using special MRIs providing deep tensor imagery in conjunction with a neuropsychologist providing detailed cognitive testing.  Occupational and speech therapists instrumental in providing therapies for a full recovery are called to testify. For those who have permanent disabilities our experts layout year by year every expected medical expense which is then analyzed by a lifecare planner who calculates the cost of care.  Where a job has been lost because of disability a specialist in vocational rehabilitation conducts an evaluation of jobs now open and the salary losses to be expected over a working life.  Lastly a forensic economist explains how an award for future care will generate interest and pay necessary bills as required by the plan over your lifetime.

Alexander Law Group gives you a level playing field against major corporations and insurance companies.
