What should I do after an accident in Lackland?
Most accident victims rely on the help of the police, employers, property managers, and friends and family when accidents happen. Some of the steps you and or these helpers should take include:
- See a physician. Many personal injury victims are in agony. Prompt medical care by an emergency room doctor or another doctor can help with the diagnosis and treatment of your injuries. Prompt medical care also helps to show how severe your injuries are. The police or another person at the accident site should help arrange for emergency medical transportation.
- Contact the police. In vehicle accidents, the police will help clear traffic, obtain everyone’s information (driver’s license, registration, insurance, etc.). The police may also help when there are construction accidents or other types of accidents.
- Give proper notices. Generally, accident victims should (when the police aren’t called) notify someone in charge, such as a property owner, construction site manager, or an employer. Drivers should notify their own insurance company. Military personnel may need to notify their superiors.
- Contact our personal injury lawyer. We can explain what you should and shouldn’t do, discuss your rights, and notify the insurance companies of the defendants. We’re here to fight for all the compensation you deserve.
When should I file my personal injury lawsuit in Texas?
Generally, you must file a personal injury claim within two years of the accident date. Some exceptions may apply, especially when military personnel are involved. We suggest that you contact us as soon as possible.
