What should I do after a traffic accident?

  1. Call law enforcement.
  2. Seek medical help as soon as possible.
  3. Get contact information from the other driver and any witnesses.
  4. If you can, take photos of the scene and make notes about what happened while everything is still fresh in your mind.
  5. Report the accident to your insurance company. Do not do a recorded statement until you speak to an attorney. 
  6. Contact a knowledgeable Texas car accident lawyer to discuss your next steps. Our number is 361-880-8181
