Here are ten useful tips of advice from a bicycle accident lawyer to follow if you have been in an accident. You can also learn more about how to handle a bicycle accident in Chino, or any city, by calling the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson at any of the numbers which can be found on our website at http://www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com  and learning how we can assist you.

 

Obviously, if you have had an accident, and you are reading all of this advice, it’s probably been at least a few days since the accident. However, if it’s only been a few hours or if you ever have another accident, here’s what you should do the next time from the start.

 

First, take a look around and determine if you or anyone, are hurt. If so, taking steps like trying to prevent further injury or loss of blood are the most important thing you can do. Even if some other driver caused you to be injured, it’s just good manners to help the other driver if they are hurt. They may even be so thankful that they admit their fault to you. The worst thing you can do is get angry or start a fight.

 

Second, make sure everyone is safe from being injured further. If you are in the middle of traffic, and you are dizzy, sit down away from traffic. If your vehicle is a traffic hazard and you have accident warning devices like flares or triangles, put them out on the road to warn other drivers and get away from the car. Let the police an other emergency personnel investigate the scene with the vehicles in place and move them more safely at a later point.

 

Third, call the police. Accident reports are extremely helpful if the police will do such a report. Let the police know you are injured immediately. Answer the police questions honestly. But if you are dazed or confused, let them know you need medical treatment and answer only what you feel sure about. Remember, your statements can and will be used against you if you admit fault, and it will be too late and too fishy to later say you didn’t know what you were saying at the scene. Police know that your best recollection is immediately after an accident.

 

Fourth, get the other driver’s information including their names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, make and model of their vehicles, license plate numbers, and their insurance company name and policy number. If there are witnesses, get their names, addresses and telephone numbers as well. If the other driver makes any admissions of fault, write those down as well.

 

Fifth, if you have a camera on your cell phone or in the car and you aren’t too injured, take some photos of the vehicles and the scene. If you can’t do it right away, do it after you are released from the hospital.

Sixth, if you are hurt, obtain medical treatment. Don’t decline the ambulance or hospital examination to save your insurance company money or to be stoic. Take your valuables out of your car if you can and get checked out at the hospital. If you are not hurt, don’t get treatment you don’t need. However, remember, after an accident, you may feel a rush of adrenaline that causes you to only start feeling symptoms of pain a few hours later. If you have a health plan that requires you to obtain permission first, call them and find out where you are allowed to seek treatment.

 

Seventh, call a good bicycle accident lawyer as soon as you have had your initial treatment, so the attorney can gather other important evidence and prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of you and obtaining such things as recorded statements that you feel fine, when many of your symptoms have yet to manifest themselves. A good bicycle accident lawyer can save you from making a great deal of mistakes and can shoulder much of the hassle of knowing what to do about car repairs, car rentals, medical treatment, witness statements and the like. If you think you will save money by not having an attorney, think again. A good bicycle accident lawyer can almost always obtain much higher settlements, obtain reductions of medical bills and insurance liens and prevent you from making costly mistakes. Also, most bicycle accident attorneys advance costs of obtaining police reports, medical records and the like and are paid and reimbursed for these costs only out of any settlement.

 

Eight, you will need to report the accident to your insurance company, but since they will want to take a recorded statement from you, just like any other driver’s insurance company, it’s good advice to retain an attorney first. And if the other driver did not have insurance, remember that it is your own insurance company that will be your adversary. You will also need to report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles and your lawyer can give you the form for this.

 

Ninth, do not agree to settle your claim privately with the person at fault for the accident. This almost never works out to your advantage. Don’t agree not to call the police. Police reports that determine the fault for an accident are golden. Your agreement to not involve the police only affords an opportunity for the other driver to change his story and blame you when the police will no longer investigate the accident.

 

Tenth, don’t pay a traffic ticket without a fight if you weren’t at fault or agree to accept a small payment for your vehicle repairs without knowing that the amount will in fact cover the cost of all the repairs.

 

If you’ve had a bicycle accident in Chino, Orange County, Newport Beach, Anaheim, Irvine, Huntington Beach, Corona del Mar, Laguna Beach, Santa Ana, Orange, Fullerton, Costa Mesa, Westminster, Buena Park, Mission Viejo, Garden Grove, Laguna Niguel, San Clemente, Chino Hills, or anywhere in Southern California, we have the knowledge and resources to be your Chino Bicycle Accident Lawyer and your Norco Bicycle Accident Attorney.

Can’t figure out if someone is really dead, please read this and help?

Ok, so back in September, a VERY close pen pal of mine from myspace supposedly passed away at 22 years old, from cancer. His name was Gabriel. The thing is, NOTHING adds up! He lived in Virginia, I live in Maryland, roughly 1 hour away from one another.

This is why nothing adds up. While we were talking for the first 2 months or so, he seemed perfectly fine. We talked pretty much every single day. Then, he suddenly tells me that he’s very sick, like out of the blue, and tells me he has cancer, and that’s he’s on some kind of chemo pills or something like that.

Also, Gabriel never gave me his home address, just the location of a nearby "wawa" that was near his house. His friend Brian, also won’t give me his address. Gabriel both lived near the same area. Gabe lived in Woodbridge VA, Brian lived in Stafford VA. I believe they’re right next to one another.

A few weeks after I found this out, he ended up in the hospital. But he wouldn’t tell me which hospital because he knew I’d try to pay him a visit but he didn’t want me to see him supposedly because "he didn’t want me to see him in that condition."

Then I wanted to send him a get well soon gift, just a CD. So at first he said send it to his mom who will take it to him at the hospital, but then changed his mind and had me send the CD to his best friend Brian’s house for him to take to Gabe. (Brian, who I still keep in touch with, but never met).

This confuses me because after Gabriel passed away, I soon found out from Brian that Gabriel was supposedly at a hospital in Oklahoma which specialized in cancer. Are you trying to tell me that there was NO hospital closer than Oklahoma that specialized in cancer patients!? Gabriel had testicular cancer, however deadly that may be, I don’t know.

I only know of his death because Gabriel made Brian relay all this information to me. I didn’t find out he passed away until like 3 days after it happened. But, the morning I found out at like 4 am was also the same morning that would be Gabriel’s viewing. Brian said he would get back to me in a few hours to let me know where it was so I could be there, but never called supposedly because his mother didn’t know me so she didn’t want me there. Yet, there was supposedly about 120 people at his funeral!

Then he was supposedly cremated! No grave site for me to visit.

I’ve tried looking for death records of him online, for the past 4 months, and still can’t find ANYTHING about a death of a Paxton (his last name) in the Virginia area.

So I’ve been doing research since then. I’ve messaged just about EVERYONE on Gabriel’s myspace friends list, those who lived in Virginia anyway, and everyone said just about the same thing when I asked if they had ever met him, and they said "No, we talked online before, and planned to meet, but never did." He had about 26 people on his myspace. The ONLY person on his myspace that knew him was Brian. How is that not suspicious!?

So I wanted to meet Brian, because it would be comforting for me to be around someone who was also close to Gabriel since it’s harder to lean on my friends shoulders for support when they didn’t even know who he was. But, Brian won’t let me meet him, supposedly because "it’s too hard on him", yet it’s 4 months later! He also uses the excuse that he’s never home because of his job and is always on the road, yet there’s always a few points in time where he is home. And for someone who talks to me almost everyday for 4 months, it’s weird that he doesn’t want me to meet him.

I’m really starting to think that Gabriel and Brian might be the same person, but what do you all think? Please let me know! This is a huge mystery in my life and it’s really bothering me, so please give me some opinions. Thanks!
He also lived on his own. AND, his cell kept ringing for WEEKS after he passed away. I kept calling in hopes a loved one would answer, but nobody ever did, How can a phone last that long, even on standby!? And it was an iPhone at that and I hear the battery doesn’t last THAT long on those. After about a month or a month 1/2, his phone did get turned off.

I don’t think he didn’t wanna talk to me anymore, because he was usually the one who would always text ME everyday.

I don’t know but joking about cancer isn’t cool… People can die from it suddenly…

I hope your friend didn’t die, but if he was joking with it that is pretty sick..

Long question, could his death be a joke? :(?

Sorry for all the reading, but I had to get it all out there.
And now just the other day I told Brian that I wanted him to take a picture of himself pointing to his nose with his middle finger and sticking his tongue out, so that I would be sure that the person in the pictures I’ve seen really is Brian and not some random picture stolen from someones myspace.

And he refused to do such a request, and said that if I didn’t trust him maybe he shouldn’t be talking to me.

Well this story does sound very suspicious, even though sometimes cancer can make some people get very sick in a very short period of time , and some people do leave the state for better cancer treatment there is nothing special about the cancer centers in Oklahoma. They are no Saint Jude or John Hopkins. It sounds like he really has something to hide. Gabriel and Brian are probably the same person. Gabriel may not be his real name either, there is business in VA called Gabriel and Paxton. I would be more suspicious of the ‘two’. Its probably some scam or someone who is bored with their life
