What to Do After an Auto Accident 

As an auto accident lawyer in Houston, TX can explain to you, making even small mistakes can jeopardize the strength of your personal injury claim. After an accident, knowing what to do right away can help you begin building your claim. This can help avoid potential issues such as the insurance company not believing your statement. Basic steps that you should remember to do if you have been injured in a car accident include:

  • Reporting the accident to local police
  • Seeking medical treatment for your injuries
  • Exchanging your contact and insurance information with the other driver
  • Documenting evidence at the accident scene
  • Talking to any witnesses who can provide details
  • Obtaining the police report when it is available
  • Notifying your insurance company 
  • Scheduling a consultation with a lawyer 

Information to Give to a Lawyer 

Dealing with an auto accident claim can be overwhelming. You may not know what to expect or what steps to take to get started. One of the things that you can begin thinking about in regards to your claim is the type of information you can present to a lawyer during your consultation. The more information that you can provide, the better. It will help a lawyer understand your case better if they have the basic facts of your case. Information that you should provide to a lawyer includes the following:

  • Your account of the case
  • The driver’s contact and insurance information
  • Medical records and bills
  • Bills for vehicle repairs and property damage
  • Paystubs to calculate your missed wages
  • List of witnesses
  • Photos of the accident 

Schedule a Consultation 

Moving on after a serious auto accident can come with challenges, especially when you are still recovering from your physical and emotional trauma. However, if you have recently suffered an injury in an auto accident, you are encouraged to obtain legal services from a qualified lawyer like one from John K. Zaid & Associates. To learn more about how you can receive legal assistance, schedule a consultation now.
