The 10 Biggest Mistakes You Can Make After A Car Accident:

3. FAIL TO COLLECT EVIDENCE AT THE ACCIDENT SCENE. Don't assume that the police will talk to every witness or that all of the witnesses will wait around for the police to show up. If you are able, write down the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all witnesses who stopped to assist you. Also take a few photos with your cell phone if you are able. Skid marks, collision debris in the road, and damage to the other car are often hard to get and easily lost if not captured right away. 10 Biggest Mistakes

LAPD Involved in Big Rig Accident

"A preliminary investigation revealed that a Los Angeles police officer may have briefly fallen asleep before his cruiser collided with a big rig truck parked illegally in South Los Angeles, authorities said today.

The officer and his partner were both hospitalized following the 6:24 a.m. accident at 35th and Western streets, officials said.

Firefighters had to cut the roof off the police cruiser to extricate one officer from the vehicle. Officials said the big rig was parked illegally when the cruiser hit it, sliding under the trailer."

A Verdict Of Almost $600K

"I was rear-ended, and the insurance company for the man who hit me said that my car was not damaged enough to cause the injuries that I had. I needed two surgeries, and the man's insurance company said that these injuries were not caused by the car accident despite that my doctors said that they were. My first attorney was not able to get the insurance company to offer me anything! I transferred the case to Todd at the recommendation of a friend. At one point, they offered me $250,000. Todd suggested that I reject that. When I did, the insurance company got nasty and reduced their offer to only $50,000, and never offered more. Two settlement judges suggested that I take this smaller amount. Todd told me not to and to keep fighting. We took the case to a jury trial and Todd recovered for me a verdict of almost $600,000! Todd also forced the insurance company to pay for my legal costs, the expert fees of my doctors who had to testify, and interest on the money that the insurance company refused to pay me. Todd kept fighting for me and never gave up. Thank you, Todd."

Big Rig Driver Fell Asleep $1.6 Million

"The big rig driver admitted at the accident scene that he fell asleep when he crossed into my lane and nearly killed me. Later, he told his insurance company that he blacked out from some unknown medical condition. They refused to pay for my 5 surgeries. Todd personally conducted a complete investigation and located witnesses and evidence to prove the truth. Todd won my case for me which settled before trial for a value of $1.6 million."
