Pat Maloney: Accident & Injury Attorney in New Braunfels specializes in these types of injuries: the ones that affect victims and families.

What should I do after an accident occurs in New Braunfels?

Your actions after any type of accident depend on your health. Many of the clients we represent need immediate medical care at an emergency room, burn center, or with a medical specialist. You should seek medical care or have someone, such as a police officer, arrange for an ambulance or other emergency medical transport.

To the extent that you or someone with you can, you should take photos of the accident site such as a roadway, intersection, or the place where you fell. You or someone with you should also ask for the contact information of everyone who may be responsible and everyone who may be a witness.

Once you receive your initial medical care, we recommend that you:

  • Follow the medical instructions of your doctors and therapists. This means keeping your appointments and following their treatment suggestions. You do have the right to be informed about each treatment and to ask your healthcare provider questions. You should advise your physicians if your symptoms change or if you are having any adverse effects.
  • Understand how insurance affects your claim. Victims of car accidents generally should notify their own insurance company as soon as possible. You should NOT notify or speak with any representatives/adjusters for the insurance companies for the defendants. They do not have your best interests at heart. We will speak with the insurance companies for the defendants for you.
  • Contact our New Braunfels personal injury lawyer. We will handle every part of your accident claim including investigating what happened, determining who is liable, working with your healthcare providers, and negotiating with the insurance companies.
