Step by step
What to do after a car crash.
Save this list. Most of it you can do from your phone.
- 01
Get safe and call 911
A police report matters later. If anyone is hurt, ask for an ambulance.
- 02
Photograph everything
Both cars, the road, skid marks, traffic lights, your injuries and the other driver's plate and insurance card.
- 03
Get names and numbers
Witnesses leave fast. One name and phone number can decide who was at fault.
- 04
See a doctor within 72 hours
Even if you feel fine. Some injuries show up days later, and a gap in treatment is the first thing an insurer points to.
- 05
Say less to insurers
Report the crash to your own insurer. Do not give the other driver's insurer a recorded statement.
- 06
Call us before you sign
Do not sign a release or accept a check until a lawyer has looked at it. Once you sign, the claim is usually over.

FAQ
Questions people ask us.
Straight answers. If yours is not here, call or text us any time.
What if I was partly at fault?
You may still recover. Texas reduces what you receive by your share of the fault, and you can recover as long as you are not more than 50% responsible (Civil Practice and Remedies Code 33.001).
Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?
You can report the crash, but you do not have to give the other side's insurer a recorded statement. Let us handle that conversation.
What if the other driver has no insurance?
Your own policy may cover you through uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. In Texas insurers must offer it, and many people have it without knowing. We check every policy that could apply.
What is my case worth?
No honest lawyer can tell you on the first call. Value depends on your injuries, your medical bills, lost income, the insurance available and who was at fault. After the review we tell you what we see and what we still need to find out.
Tell us what happened. A lawyer calls you back in 15 minutes.
