Car Accidents in Texas
Car accidents occur daily in Texas, resulting in hundreds of thousands of injuries each year from collisions on our roads. If you find yourself in such a situation, taking immediate steps to protect your legal rights is paramount. Seeking medical attention and reporting the incident to law enforcement are among the crucial actions you should take to protect both your rights and your health.
My Injuries Do Not Show Immediately. What Do I Do?
It is not uncommon for injuries to manifest hours or even days after an accident, particularly soft tissue injuries or internal organ damage. Therefore, seeking medical evaluation, regardless of how you feel initially, is essential. A medical professional can diagnose any underlying injuries and provide necessary care.
From a legal and insurance standpoint, delayed injury symptoms can present challenges, but they don’t necessarily hinder your ability to file a claim. When informing your insurance company about the accident, ensure you mention any delayed symptoms. Documenting the timeline of your injuries, especially their onset after the accident, is crucial.
Seeking legal advice from a Texas car accident attorney immediately is in your best interest. They can provide guidance and representation to help you pursue justice for the injuries you’ve sustained.
