Answers to Your
Car Accident Questions

Practical what-to-do information . . . from a
top-rated car accident expert

Have you had a car accident? Are you unsure of all the things you have to do to protect yourself? Are you looking for reliable information from an objective expert who’s interested in helping you protect yourself but not trying to sell you anything? If so, this website is for you.

This website is especially for you if you’re thinking about handling legal claims yourself. Using the information here, you can save hundreds or thousands of dollars of legal fees.

Even if you plan to have a lawyer represent you, this website will teach you the ins and outs of hiring and working with a lawyer, perhaps saving you money there too.

If you're not here because you've had a car crash but think you could have one in the future and want to be ready to do the right things when it happens, this website is for you, too. (That last one covers all of us, folks. The odds are that, sooner or later, we all will have an accident.)

My name is Phil Santa Maria and I’m a practicing car accident lawyer who has handled hundreds (probably thousands) of car crash cases. But this website is not here to solicit legal business for me. In fact, I won’t accept any cases through this site.

What this website is about . . . is educating you so that you can protect yourself and your family if you’ve had a car accident. You may deal with many different people as you work through the car accident claims process . . . police officers, insurance adjusters, auto repair facilities, car rental companies . . . and how many of them do you think will have your best interests as their top priority? That’s right. None.

Some of them will even take advantage of you if you let them.

Here, protecting your interests is not only my top priority, it's my only priority. At this website, I will give you the information you need to protect yourself by answering questions such as these . . .
