If you can move without risking injury, get yourself and any passengers out of traffic. Where it is safe to do so, leave the vehicles where they came to rest until you have photographed them, because the resting position relative to lane lines, a stop sign, or an intersection often tells the story of who failed to yield. If staying put is dangerous, move to safety first and photograph afterward.<\/p><p>Once you are safe, build a record before anything at the scene changes:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Photograph everything, generously.<\/strong> Capture damage to every vehicle from multiple angles, including close-ups and wide shots. Some drivers will downplay or even quietly start &#8220;fixing&#8221; their damage, so document it before they can. Photograph the roadway, signage, signals, skid marks, debris, weather and lighting conditions.<\/li><li><strong>Call the police and get a report.<\/strong> Even when the other driver admits fault at the scene, memories and stories shift once everyone goes home. If they are willing to take responsibility, have them say so to the responding officer. If they deny fault, an officer taking statements from the drivers and any witnesses becomes even more important.<\/li><li><strong>Lock down witnesses.<\/strong> Witnesses leave, and many later decide they would rather not get involved. At minimum, collect each witness&#8217;s name and phone number; if they agree, record a short video of what they saw.<\/li><li><strong>Note nearby cameras.<\/strong> Look for businesses, doorbells, traffic poles, or homes that may have captured the crash. Many private systems overwrite footage within a few days to a couple of weeks, so the window to preserve it is short.<\/li><\/ul><p>Evidence disappears quickly. By hiring a law firm we are able to review the evidence you have and what is missing. If anything is missing, we can help in gathering what is still remaining. This evidence can be the difference in winning or losing your case. We also send out spoliation letters to the potentially at-fault drivers and companies to make sure they don&#8217;t get rid of evidence that could win your case. Do what you can to secure evidence, then call the AK Law Firm to make sure you have everything you need to win your case.<\/p><\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"ak-faq-item\">\n      <button class=\"ak-faq-q\" aria-expanded=\"false\" onclick=\"akFaqToggle(this)\">\n        <span>My car is not drivable or is totaled, but I can move around \u2014 what do I do?<\/span>\n        <svg class=\"ak-faq-chev\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M3 6l5 5 5-5\" stroke=\"#c9a84c\" stroke-width=\"1.8\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/><\/svg>\n      <\/button>\n      <div class=\"ak-faq-a\">\n        <div class=\"ak-faq-a-inner\"><p>Tell the 911 dispatcher that your vehicle is disabled when you call.

You may be able to direct the tow yourself, or police may need to hold the vehicle as evidence. If it is held, your attorney can act as the go-between with law enforcement, so your personal belongings are recovered and your privacy is protected.<\/p><\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"ak-faq-item\">\n      <button class=\"ak-faq-q\" aria-expanded=\"false\" onclick=\"akFaqToggle(this)\">\n        <span>Do I have to report even a minor accident to the police?<\/span>\n        <svg class=\"ak-faq-chev\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M3 6l5 5 5-5\" stroke=\"#c9a84c\" stroke-width=\"1.8\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/><\/svg>\n      <\/button>\n      <div class=\"ak-faq-a\">\n        <div class=\"ak-faq-a-inner\"><p>In Texas, sometimes you are legally required to. Under the state&#8217;s crash-reporting law, you must promptly notify police when a crash causes injury or death or causes apparent property damage of <strong>$1,000 or more<\/strong> \u2014 a figure that is easy to exceed today, since even a modest bumper repair can run past it. Failing to report a qualifying crash can carry serious penalties.<\/p><p>Beyond what the law strictly requires, calling police protects you whenever the situation is murky. It is worth making the call when: the other driver disputes how the crash happened, the other driver is uninsured, weather or road conditions played a role, or the other driver is hostile. People often talk themselves out of calling, assuming it is too minor to bother with \u2014 but an official report with driver and witness accounts can be the difference between a paid claim and a &#8220;he said, she said&#8221; you lose.<\/p><p>When in doubt, call. It is far better to learn the report was unnecessary than to wish you had one.<\/p><p><em>Note: Texas no longer accepts the old driver-filed &#8220;blue form&#8221; (CR-2) with the state. The official record is the Peace Officer&#8217;s Crash Report (CR-3) the responding officer prepares.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"ak-faq-item\">\n      <button class=\"ak-faq-q\" aria-expanded=\"false\" onclick=\"akFaqToggle(this)\">\n        <span>Should I talk to the police after a crash, and what should I say?<\/span>\n        <svg class=\"ak-faq-chev\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M3 6l5 5 5-5\" stroke=\"#c9a84c\" stroke-width=\"1.8\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/><\/svg>\n      <\/button>\n      <div class=\"ak-faq-a\">\n        <div class=\"ak-faq-a-inner\"><p>Yes \u2014 but choose your words carefully. You cannot simply refuse to engage; you are required to show the officer your driver&#8217;s license, registration, and proof of insurance, and refusing can lead to arrest.<\/p><p>How much else to say depends on your situation. If the other driver is plainly at fault and you broke no traffic laws, there is little harm in giving your account \u2014 just stick to what you directly observed and do not speculate.

A person is negligent when they act unreasonably and cause harm where a reasonably careful person would have acted differently. Drivers must follow traffic laws, keep control of their vehicles, and watch for developing hazards. Common examples of negligent driving include impaired driving, running red lights, speeding, failing to signal, driving on the wrong side or the shoulder, and distracted driving such as texting.<\/p><\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"ak-faq-item\">\n      <button class=\"ak-faq-q\" aria-expanded=\"false\" onclick=\"akFaqToggle(this)\">\n        <span>Is Texas a no-fault state?

In plain terms: you can recover damages as long as you are found <strong>50% or less at fault<\/strong>, but your recovery is reduced by your share. If you are <strong>51% or more at fault, you recover nothing.<\/strong> So if your damages are $100,000 and you are 20% at fault, you collect $80,000; at 50% fault you still collect half; at 51% you collect zero.

If you think you may have contributed, do not admit fault before speaking to an attorney; you may not have the full picture. You might have been speeding, for example, while the other driver was impaired. Your lawyer works to keep fault from being assigned to you unfairly and investigates to establish liability clearly.<\/p><p>One practical point: if an officer issues you a ticket, sign it \u2014 you are legally required to, and signing is not an admission of guilt.

So be careful: if an insurer offers to pay a medical bill early and asks you to sign something, understand exactly what you are agreeing to. You could be signing away your entire injury claim \u2014 lost wages, pain and suffering, even vehicle damage \u2014 in exchange for a few hundred dollars.<\/p><p>Meanwhile, your own health insurance, <strong>PIP<\/strong>, or <strong>MedPay<\/strong> can cover treatment until the case resolves, and some providers will treat you on a lien and wait for payment until settlement.<\/p><\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"ak-faq-item\">\n      <button class=\"ak-faq-q\" aria-expanded=\"false\" onclick=\"akFaqToggle(this)\">\n        <span>Will the other insurer pay my lost wages, and how do I prove them?<\/span>\n        <svg class=\"ak-faq-chev\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M3 6l5 5 5-5\" stroke=\"#c9a84c\" stroke-width=\"1.8\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/><\/svg>\n      <\/button>\n      <div class=\"ak-faq-a\">\n        <div class=\"ak-faq-a-inner\"><p>If you can prove your losses and you were not at fault, the at-fault driver is responsible for your lost wages \u2014 but, as with medical bills, the insurer will not pay until it pays for everything, meaning at final resolution.

A doctor&#8217;s work excuse plus employer records are the backbone of a lost-wage claim.<\/p><p>You may also be able to recover lost wages from your own <strong>PIP<\/strong> coverage in the meantime. PIP usually does not replace wages dollar-for-dollar \u2014 most carriers use a formula \u2014 but it pays something. Watch the shared limit, though: the same PIP pool covers both medical bills and lost wages. If you have $10,000 in PIP and take $5,000 as wage replacement, only $5,000 remains for medical bills.

The practical problem is that drivers with minimal coverage often have minimal assets, which is usually why they bought low limits in the first place. You can win a judgment for your full damages and still struggle to collect beyond their policy.<\/p><p>Second \u2014 and this is why it matters so much \u2014 <strong>UM\/UIM (uninsured\/underinsured motorist) coverage<\/strong> on your own policy steps in when the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough. UIM pays up to your chosen limit, generally after the at-fault driver&#8217;s limits are exhausted (or immediately, if they had no coverage at all). Even so, UIM only pays up to its own limits, so the amount you carry matters.<\/p><p>Where a third party shares blame \u2014 say, a bar that kept serving an obviously intoxicated driver \u2014 there may be an additional source of recovery.

For example, cases against government entities (i.e. police cars, ambulances, fire trucks, etc.) have notice requirements under the Texas Tort Claims Act. If you do not provide written notice to the proper government entity within a shortened period of time (often less than 90 days after the accident) then you will not be able to make any claim after that time has passed.<\/p><p>There are many examples of hidden deadlines within the law and that is why it is important to bring on someone who has experience navigating these tough situations like the AK Law Firm.

You deserve honesty and personal attention, not a hollow promise.<\/p><\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"ak-faq-cat\">\n    <div class=\"ak-faq-cat-title\">Working with a Lawyer<\/div>\n    <div class=\"ak-faq-item\">\n      <button class=\"ak-faq-q\" aria-expanded=\"false\" onclick=\"akFaqToggle(this)\">\n        <span>What will a car accident lawyer actually do for my case?<\/span>\n        <svg class=\"ak-faq-chev\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M3 6l5 5 5-5\" stroke=\"#c9a84c\" stroke-width=\"1.8\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/><\/svg>\n      <\/button>\n      <div class=\"ak-faq-a\">\n        <div class=\"ak-faq-a-inner\"><p>Beyond gathering the paperwork and evidence, your attorney will:<\/p><ul><li>Obtain and analyze records that are otherwise hard to get \u2014 your medical records and providers&#8217; notes, plus relevant information about the other driver, such as their whereabouts before the crash, any blood-alcohol results, and their driving history.<\/li><li>Send preservation (&#8220;spoliation&#8221;) letters quickly to keep crucial evidence \u2014 surveillance video, vehicle &#8220;black box&#8221; \/ event-data-recorder data, and cell-phone records \u2014 from being lost or overwritten.<\/li><li>Work with experts where needed, including accident-reconstruction specialists and medical experts who can testify about your injuries and future treatment costs.<\/li><li>Draft a demand letter laying out your losses and the compensation sought.<\/li><li>Take depositions of the opposing parties and witnesses.<\/li><li>Handle all communication with adjusters, prepare and file your claim (or appeal a denial), negotiate firmly, and try the case if the other side refuses to be fair.<\/li><\/ul><p>The point of all this is to let you focus on healing while the legal work stays your lawyer&#8217;s job, not yours.<\/p><\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"ak-faq-item\">\n      <button class=\"ak-faq-q\" aria-expanded=\"false\" onclick=\"akFaqToggle(this)\">\n        <span>What if I was a passenger?<\/span>\n        <svg class=\"ak-faq-chev\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M3 6l5 5 5-5\" stroke=\"#c9a84c\" stroke-width=\"1.8\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/><\/svg>\n      <\/button>\n      <div class=\"ak-faq-a\">\n        <div class=\"ak-faq-a-inner\"><p>As a passenger, you are almost never at fault, and you have the right to recover for your injuries regardless of which driver caused the crash.
