What to do After an Accident

Depending on the type of accident you were in, and, of course, depending on the degree to which you were injured in your accident, you should try to take the following steps after your accident to maximize your chances of winning your personal injury claim:

Call the police. Not only will they send an ambulance to the scene of the accident, but they will also write up a police report, which can help prove your personal injury claim at a later date.
If you were injured in an auto accident, ensure that you ask the other driver for his or her insurance information. If you were injured on someone else’s property, notify the property owner of the accident. This is especially true if you were injured in a store, as the store owner/manager should write up a store incident report, which may further corroborate your claim.
Ask anyone who witnessed your accident for their name, phone number, email address, and any other contact information that will allow you to reach them at a later date so they can verify your claim.
Take pictures of the scene of the accident. If you were injured in an auto accident, take pictures of any damage to your vehicle, the other motorist’s vehicle, and any property that was damaged as a result of the accident.
Ensure that you receive immediate medical treatment, even if you do not feel seriously injured at first. Certain injuries take a couple of days or longer to set in, and your health is paramount. Furthermore, your physician will provide you with various forms of documentation regarding your injuries. You should also ensure that you keep a copy of all medical bills incurred as a result of your accident, as our firm can use your medical bills to demonstrate the extent of the damages you’ve sustained.
Retain the services of the experienced Dallas personal injury lawyers at Brock & Goetzmann. Our firm can work to uncover all additional evidence needed to satisfy the burden of proof on your behalf. For example, in certain cases, we can subpoena surveillance footage of your accident, which is one of the best ways to satisfy the burden of proof.

Statute of Limitations in Texas

If you have been seriously injured by the negligence of another party, it is important that you do not hesitate to speak with an attorney who can get started on your case. In Texas, injury cases must be filed within a certain period of time in accordance with the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations for various legal matters in Texas is as follows:

Personal Injury: 2 years from the date of the accident
Medical Malpractice: 2 years from the date that the negligent act occurred
Wrongful Death: 2 years from the date of death, with certain exceptions
Workers’ Compensation: 1 year from the date of the injury

After an accident, many people will often wait to file their personal injury claims in the hopes that their injury will heal on its own. While this is completely understandable, the truth is, this is often a mistake, for if you wait past the statute of limitations, there is a very good chance that you will be permanently barred from suing. Our Dallas personal injury lawyers are ready to begin the claims process on your behalf today. All you have to do is pick up the phone and give us a call.
