What to Do After an Injury-Causing Accident in Irving Texas

After a car accident, there are certain actions that you should take. If you are involved in an accident in Irving, make sure to take the following steps to best protect yourself and your interests moving forward. 

  • Pull over and check for injuries. If possible, pull your vehicle off to the side of the road as soon as practicable to prevent further accidents. Then, make a note of any injuries sustained by you or your passengers and seek medical treatment immediately;
  • Call 911 and acquire an official police report. Texas Transportation Code Section 550.026 requires certain action when an accident results in vehicle damage, injury, or death. The driver must immediately call the local police or sheriff’s department, depending on the location of the collision;
  • Communicate with the other party or parties involved. The driver also has a duty to give insurance information and render aid to any other party to the accident who sustains injury or damage to their vehicle.
  • Gather information and evidence. Unless you are injured and require immediate medical attention, you should take photos, speak with witnesses, take notes of vehicle information and accident location, and gather any other relevant information as evidence;
  • Notify your insurance company. Most insurance companies require you to notify them of any accident, regardless of whether or not you were at fault. But even if yours does not, it is always a good idea to notify them anyway; and
  • Contact an attorney. Depending on the facts and circumstances, you may need an attorney to help you pursue a legal claim or settlement. 

Failure to take these steps can result in legal liability, but by carefully complying, you can significantly improve your case.
