Car Accidents in Texas
Every day, Texas sees its fair share of car accidents, with hundreds of thousands of people sustaining injuries annually due to collisions on our roads. If you find yourself in such a situation, it is paramount to take specific actions to protect your legal rights.
First and foremost, seek medical attention immediately and reach out to law enforcement to ensure both your rights and health are protected. These initial steps can significantly impact the outcome of any legal proceedings or insurance claims resulting from the accident.
What Happens if My Injuries Are Not Immediately Apparent?
It is not uncommon for injuries to surface gradually after a car accident, even if you initially feel fine. Soft tissue injuries and internal organ damage, for instance, can exhibit delayed symptoms that only become noticeable hours or days later. That’s why seeking medical attention promptly, regardless of how you feel immediately after the crash, is crucial.
A healthcare professional can evaluate your condition thoroughly and identify any injuries, ensuring you receive the necessary care. From a legal and insurance standpoint, dealing with delayed onset injuries can be complex. However, it doesn’t necessarily hinder your ability to file a claim. When notifying your insurance company about the accident, be sure to mention any delayed symptoms and meticulously document the timeline of your injuries, emphasizing their post-accident onset.
It is highly advisable to secure legal representation from a Texas car accident lawyer without delay. This step offers you the best opportunity to pursue justice for the injuries you’ve endured.
