What Should I Do After an Accident in Texas?

If you have been injured in an accident in Texas, it is important to take the right steps to protect your health and your rights. Follow these steps after an accident with injury:

Prevent further accidents or injury if possible. If it is safe to do so, try to prevent further damage or injury at the scene. This may mean shutting off machinery, using a fire extinguisher, moving away from open flames, applying emergency brakes, etc.
Seek appropriate medical care. If you have been injured in an accident, call 911 and seek medical care. If it is possible and safe to do so, help other injured people with first aid until medical help arrives. Always follow the advice of medical personnel and paramedics; you may be experiencing shock that temporarily masks your symptoms and may not be a good judge of the degree or severity of your injuries.
Report the injury and accident. If you did not call 911 for medical care, make sure you call the police and report the accident. If your accident was work-related, contact your employer and report the accident. If it is a vehicle accident, report it to your insurance company.
Collect and preserve evidence for your injury case. If it is possible and safe to do so, take photographs or video of the accident scene. Collect contact information for any witnesses. Write down your own detailed account of everything you remember about the accident.
Follow up as appropriate. After an accident with injury, it may take time to pursue your claim. Over the subsequent days and weeks, you may need to obtain a copy of the police report, communicate with the relevant insurance companies, and seek medical treatment.
Consider contacting a qualified Austin personal injury attorney for a consultation. If you notice problems with the police report or insurance documents, if you feel pressured to accept a quick settlement or have received a low offer, or if you have questions about your rights, contact an attorney for a review of your case.
Consider a second legal opinion from another experienced injury law firm. In some cases, you may want to seek a second opinion from a different personal injury lawyer just to make sure you are protecting your interests and making sure you are getting the compensation you deserve.

Many Texas personal injury accidents are handled professionally and appropriately, without the need to file a lawsuit and take the responsible party to court. However, consulting with an attorney is the best way to look out for your interests and make sure your case is being handled properly.

AN AUSTIN PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER WORKING ON A CONTINGENCY BASIS

Our personal injury law firm works on a contingency basis. This means that we do not charge an attorney fee up front. Rather, we would receive a portion or your verdict or settlement after the case is resolved. Therefore, if you do not receive any compensation for your injury or loss, you do not owe an attorney fee. Furthermore, we believe everyone deserves access to qualified, competent and professional representation. As a result, this fee arrangement helps make it affordable to do so.

TEXAS PERSONAL INJURY FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW DO I FILE A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM?

To begin the process of filing a personal injury lawsuit, you should schedule a consultation with an experienced personal injury attorney in Austin. During the initial meeting, you will present the details of your claim to your attorney, including how your injury occurred, and the circumstances under which it occurred. If you agree to hire that attorney, then he or she will file a personal injury claim on your behalf, and the process will go from there.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SETTLE A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM?

It can take months, or, in some cases, years to settle a personal injury claim. The duration of the case will depend entirely upon the facts and circumstances of the claim. Some cases will take at least a year from the time the complaint is filed to settle, while others could take about six months. Talk to our Austin personal injury attorneys to get an idea of how long your personal injury claim could potentially take to settle.

HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO SUE SOMEONE FOR PERSONAL INJURY?

In the state of Texas, a personal injury claim must be filed no later than two years after the date of the accident. However, certain circumstances can affect the statute of limitations for your injury claim. Consult with a Texas personal injury attorney to receive the most accurate information.

HOW MUCH SHOULD I ASK FOR IN A PERSONAL INJURY SETTLEMENT?

You should discuss this question with a personal injury attorney during an initial consultation. However, generally speaking, your attorney will start at a number which is higher than what you actually want. This number will include your medical expenses, lost wages, future lost wages, pain and suffering and other damages. By starting high, the insurance company may offer a lower amount, allowing you to meet in the middle at an amount closer to what you actually wanted.

WHAT PERCENTAGE DO LAWYERS TAKE FOR PERSONAL INJURY?

Most personal injury lawyers operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning the lawyer’s fees for representing you will be deducted from your final settlement. You should always ask a personal injury lawyer what his or her fee will be during an initial consultation.
