Auto Accidents in Texas
Auto accidents in Texas have the potential to severely impact the lives of those involved, often leading to tens of thousands of hospitalizations each year due to serious injuries that can result in permanent disability and impact the ability to work.
Regrettably, tens of thousands innocent individuals find themselves dealing with the aftermath of accidents caused by the reckless and negligent behavior of others every year in our state. If you have been injured in a car crash, you have the right to pursue legal action against the responsible party.
What to Do After a Crash
Knowing when to take action after a crash is crucial in Texas. The state provides a statute of limitations of two years from the date of the accident to file a claim seeking compensation for injuries and damages. However, procrastination is not advisable. It is in your best interest to begin the process immediately after the accident, allowing time to gather evidence, assess injuries, and seek legal counsel if needed.
Filing a claim involves several essential steps, such as collecting evidence including police reports, medical records, and witness statements. Documentation of accident-related expenses, such as medical bills and repair costs, is also vital.
Securing legal representation from a skilled Austin bicycle accident lawyer without delay is crucial. Your attorney will work on your behalf to build a strong case and advocate for fair compensation for your injuries and losses.
