Merced Car Accident FAQs

What Types of Car Accidents Do You Handle in Merced?

We handle all types of auto collisions, including rear-end accidents, t-bone crashes, sideswipes, rollovers, head-on collisions, hit-and-runs, distracted driving, drunk driving crashes, and wrong-way accidents. Each case is different, and we focus on uncovering the details to establish fault and secure fair compensation.

What Injuries Are Common After Merced Car Accidents?

Auto accidents can cause a wide range of injuries—from spinal cord trauma and broken bones to pain & suffering and even wrongful death. Some injuries aren’t immediately obvious, so we always recommend seeing a doctor right away and contacting us to evaluate your claim.

How Do I Get a Copy of My Merced Police Accident Report?

If you’ve been in a car accident in Merced, getting your police report is a key step in starting your insurance claim. The report includes critical details about the crash, including who may be at fault, and can help support your case. You can request the report from the Merced Police Department if they responded to the scene, either online or in person at their 22nd Street location. If the California Highway Patrol handled the accident, you’ll need to request it through the CHP office. Both agencies charge a small fee. Remember, you’re also required by law to report most accidents to both the police and the DMV, and failing to do so can carry serious penalties.

Why Should I Choose Silva Injury Law for My Merced Car Accident Case?

We treat every client with respect and compassion. You won’t get handed off to a case manager like at larger firms. We investigate thoroughly, advocate fiercely, and never lose sight of your personal story and goals. Our reputation for fairness often leads to better settlements without unnecessary conflict.

How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim in California?

You have two years from the date of your accident to file a claim. It’s always best to act quickly, while evidence is fresh and witnesses’ memories are clear. Waiting too long can jeopardize your case entirely.

Do I Really Need a Merced Car Accident Lawyer?

You’re not required to hire a lawyer, but having one can make a huge difference. We understand how to deal with insurance companies, gather critical evidence, and fight for the full amount you deserve. Especially if the other side tries to shift blame using California’s comparative fault system.

Will Hiring a Lawyer Cost Me Anything Upfront?

No. At Silva Injury Law, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means we don’t get paid unless we win your case. There are no upfront costs—just compassionate legal support when you need it most.
