What Should I Do After Being Injured in A Car Accident?
If you are injured in a car accident, you should take several steps to document the accident, as long as you are still physically capable of doing so. Those steps are as follows:
First, you should call the police. They will document the accident upon arrival, and they will also send an ambulance to the scene.
Then, you should ask the other driver for his or her insurance information.
Next, take pictures of the scene of the accident, including damage to your car, the other driver’s car, and any property involved in the accident.
Ask anyone who witnessed your accident for their contact information.
Once you are treated at the hospital, ask your doctor for all documentation pertaining to your injuries sustained in the accident.
Finally, retain the services of an experienced Odessa, Texas personal injury attorney who knows the ins and outs of the personal injury claims process.
How Long Do I Have to Sue After Being Hurt in A Car Accident in Texas?
If you have been injured in a car accident in Texas, you may feel tempted to wait to take legal action to see if your injuries heal first. We cannot advise you do so, as the statute of limitations in Texas for personal injury claims is, generally two years, giving the wrongly injured no more than two years to take legal action against the liable party. If you wait past the two-year mark, you will most likely be denied the financial compensation you deserve and need. Do not let this happen. We are ready to begin the claims process on your behalf today–all you have to do is ask.
