OBTAINING COMPENSATION FOR YOUR DAMAGES

If you or a family member has suffered injuries in a car accident that you didn’t cause, then you may be entitled to compensation. The same might be true if a car wreck damaged your property. Time is an important factor in building a case, so it is important to speak to an experienced accident attorney as soon as possible after an accident occurs.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO AFTER AN ACCIDENT IN TEXAS

Our team of experienced Car Accident Lawyers and Personal Injury Attorneys knows that more than 30,000 people are killed in motor vehicle accidents in this country every year, and millions more are injured in the same types of vehicle crashes.

In the moments after a motor vehicle accident, it is important to gather as much information as possible, before it becomes lost or forgotten. Every piece of information that you collect at the scene will help your lawyers construct a case to get you the compensation you deserve. It is important to contact an experienced car accident lawyer as soon as possible so that we can ensure that your rights are protected and that you have the strongest case possible.

Nine things that you should do after an accident:

  1. You need to file a police report.
  2. Document everything you remember about the accident.
  3. Take pictures. Do this as soon after the accident as possible. If your injuries are serious and you are unable to act on your own behalf, have someone take care of these tasks for you.
  4. Get accounts from eyewitnesses or provide us with their names and contact information so we can talk to them later.
  5. Try to find out if the other driver was distracted by a GPS device, cell phone or a passenger in their car.
  6. Was the other driver under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, or over-the-counter or prescription medications?
  7. Did the other driver exceed the speed limit, run a red light, or fall asleep at the wheel?
  8. Did the car’s brakes or other mechanical components fail?
  9. Was the person on the job at the time of the wreck?

If you do not have this information, an experienced Car Accident Lawyer can help you to obtain it.  Sometimes this information only comes out in our investigation, but if you happen to hear it mentioned at the accident scene or in later conversations, it is essential that you share it with us.
