Car Accidents in Texas
Texas sees some of the highest crash numbers in the nation, with over 600,000 reported traffic collisions each year. These accidents often result in injury or financial hardship for those involved. In 2023 alone, state data showed that more than 18,000 people suffered serious injuries from crashes across Texas.
Understanding your options after a wreck is important. Below are a few key things to consider following a crash:
- Medical Treatment: Even if injuries appear minor, it’s crucial to get checked out. Some injuries, like whiplash or internal trauma, may not show symptoms right away. Medical records also serve as important documentation if you pursue a claim.
- Gathering Evidence: Photos of the scene, witness statements, and police reports are vital. If you’re able to collect these at the scene, it can make a significant difference later on.
- Contacting Insurance: Reporting the crash to your insurance company is necessary, but keep your statements factual and limited. Insurance providers may use your words to minimize payouts, so avoid guessing or admitting fault.
- Legal Representation: Many victims find that working with a local attorney helps reduce stress and increases the chances of fair compensation. An attorney can guide you through paperwork, investigations, and settlement talks.
If you’ve been hurt in a crash, speak to a Tyler car accident attorney right away.
