What Steps Should You Take Next After an Irving Car Accident?
If you are hurt in an auto accident in Irving, you should try to take as many of the following steps:
- Get medical attention. You should see a doctor as soon as possible to get checked for injuries. Several medical facilities serve the Irving area such as Baylor Scott & White Medical Center and Medical City Las Colinas. Make sure you follow the doctor’s treatment plan.
- Collect and keep everything related to your accident. You should hold on to all of your medical bills, accident scene photos and car repair estimates. Also, keep the names and phone numbers of any witnesses.
- Get a copy of your crash report. Typically, you can get a copy of the Texas Peace Officer’s Crash Report from the law enforcement agency that initially responded to the crash such as the Irving Police Department or Dallas County Sheriff’s Office. You can also go online to search for and buy one.
- Write it down. When you have the chance, you should write a summary of what you recall about the car accident. You may also want to describe how your injuries have affected your ability to work and other aspects of your life.
- Don’t talk with the insurer. An insurer for the other driver may contact you and ask for a statement. The insurer may even make a settlement offer. You should refrain from speaking with the insurance company until you talk with us first. In fact, we can handle all communications with the insurer on your behalf.
- Stay away from social media. In this day and age, insurance companies go to Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites to look for anything they can possibly use against people who file injury claims. You will be better off avoiding social media use until you resolve your claim.
