Accident Ready Toolkit
ACCIDENT READY
Because the moments after an accident matter.
Accidents happen when we least expect them. Whether you are involved in a car accident, struck as a pedestrian, or injured in an animal attack, knowing what to do next can make a difference.
At Santa Clarita Personal Injury Law Firm, Owen, Patterson & Owen (OPO Law), we have been protecting families for generations since 1977. We believe everyone should have access to helpful information before they ever need an attorney.
That is why we created this Accident Ready Guide, a free, easy-to-follow guide with practical steps to help you stay safe, document what happened, and protect your rights after an accident.
A Little Preparation Goes a Long Way
In the moments following an accident, it is easy to feel overwhelmed or forget crucial details. Our Accident Ready guide is designed to help you focus on what matters most:
- Get Safe: Check for injuries, move to safety when possible, and call for emergency help if needed.
- Get Care: Seek medical attention, even if you initially feel okay.
- Capture Proof: Take photos, collect witness information, and document crucial details.
- Call Before You Sign: Understand your options before signing documents or accepting an insurance settlement.

The 306° Photo Hack
One of the easiest things you can do after an accident, when it is safe, is document your surroundings.
Take a slow video of the scene, capturing vehicle positions, visible damage, street signs, traffic signals, road conditions, nearby businesses, and anything else that may help tell the story of what happened.
Do not forget to save copies of medical records, repair estimates, insurance correspondence, and other important documents.
