Recent Review
I was involved in an auto accident with my family and was so devastated. I didn’t know what to do. I found EWANISZYK LAW FIRM, and am so grateful for their help that I received. I cannot thank Maricela Shahin “my case manager” enough for all her assistance and for always keeping me in the loop! I highly recommend this office for any law needs; auto accidents, family law, etc.
Verified Review from Emily P.

With all of the other daily stresses in life, car and truck accidents can often seem like too much to handle. Being in an accident can be one of the most stressful times in your life, leaving you with a laundry list of worries: the car will need to be repaired; any injury you or a passenger received will need attention; what if the insurance company doesn’t offer enough, or anything at all; and now anytime you get behind the wheel, all you can think about is getting blindsided by another car. What’s going to happen with my job, my house payment, our vacation? Just thinking about all of this can be all-consuming.

This is why contacting a local High Desert car accident lawyer -­ whose job it is to carry these burdens and help make this situation less hectic for you – is a vital step to take. The lawyers at Ewaniszyk Law Firm we have handled case after case of automotive accidents and we understand how traumatic all of this is. The physical, emotional, and psychological effects of an accident can be long-lasting and traumatic.

The law is on your side if your accident was caused by someone else’s negligent actions. If you want to speak to an attorney, contact Ewaniszyk Law Firm. We want to help you get what you deserve, every penny.

Do You Really Need to Speak to an Auto Accident Attorney?

Victorville car accident lawyerToo many people, too often, skip talking to a lawyer after they’ve been in an accident because they feel there is no need. Whether they think their injury is too minor, they think they don’t have a case, or they don’t want to end up spending a lot of time/money in court, people end up not contacting an attorney for legal advice. An accident can affect your driving record. See this article by Car and Driver magazine.

The High Desert car accident attorneys at Ewaniszyk Law Firm have seen too many cases where people think they don’t have an injury, or it’s a minor injury, and months down the road serious complications begin to arise.

Accident injuries are strange in this way. The adrenaline rush and shock you get right after being in a wreck can mask injuries and make serious pains seem like minor aches. Serious injuries may take months to manifest their serious nature. It’s important not to wait too long to reach out to an attorney in order for them to evaluate your claims as soon as possible.

If you feel that contacting an attorney is unnecessary, the other driver in the accident and their insurance company are plotting ways to defeat or avoid responsibility. If you wait too long to speak to a lawyer, you could find yourself in an uphill battle, facing up against an experienced claims adjuster or car accident attorney who does not have your best interest at heart.

The lawyers at Ewaniszyk Law Firm do not want to see any of this happen to you. We don’t want to see you drown in medical and car repair bills you should not be paying in the first place and being taken advantage of in court. We want you to get the help you need and the compensation you deserve. If you’ve been in a car accident, contact the Victorville car accident injury lawyers at Ewaniszyk Law Firm.

To Summarize:

What to Do In Case of an Accident

Q. What should I do at the scene of an accident?

A.  STOP Immediately and move only if it is safe to do so.

  • Call 911 if there are injuries.

  • Call the police. In some areas, police authorities may respond to every accident scene. They may consider factors such as the severity and location of the accident (some police authorities will not come to the scene if the accident is on private property).  However, you should attempt to notify the police.  You should also be aware that most policies require notification to the police within a specified time period if the accident is a hit and run.

  • Obtain names, addresses, telephone numbers, and driver’s license numbers from all drivers. 

  • Obtain license plate(s) and vehicle identification numbers.  Ask to see driver’s license(s) and vehicle registration(s) to verify the information is accurate.

  • Obtain names, addresses, and telephone numbers of other passengers and any witnesses.

  • If you have a camera or a cellphone, take photographs of the damage, and the accident scene (traffic controls, visual obstacles).

  • If the owner of a damaged car or damaged property cannot be located, leave a note with the names and addresses of the driver and owners of the involved cars.

  • Notify the Ewaniszyk Law Firm as soon as possible. We can help you through all of these steps.

  • If anyone is injured or the vehicle damage exceeds $750.00, you must report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles within 10 days. Failure to notify the DMV may result in the suspension of your driver’s license. The Ewaniszyk Law Firm can help you with this.
