Dallas, Texas – Car accidents can occur without warning and often leave victims confused, injured, and unsure of what steps to take next. To help drivers and passengers protect their health and legal rights, The Law Firm of Aaron A. Herbert, P.C. is offering practical guidance on what to do after a car accident in Texas.

The firm emphasizes that safety should always be the priority. After an accident, individuals should move to a safe area if possible and contact emergency services. Even if injuries appear minor, seeking immediate medical attention is essential, as symptoms may develop hours or days later. Medical records created soon after the accident can also serve as critical evidence.

Documenting the scene is another important step. Taking photos or videos of vehicle damage, road conditions, traffic signs, and visible injuries can help preserve key details. Drivers should exchange contact and insurance information with all involved parties and gather names of witnesses when available. Cooperating with law enforcement and ensuring an official accident report is filed can further protect a victim’s claim.

The firm also warns accident victims about common mistakes to avoid. Admitting fault, speculating about what caused the crash, or providing recorded statements to insurance companies without legal guidance can seriously harm a case. Insurance companies often focus on reducing payouts, not on protecting injured individuals.

Seeking legal guidance early can make a meaningful difference in the outcome of a claim. The Law Firm of Aaron A. Herbert, P.C., offers free consultations to evaluate the facts of an accident and explain legal options.
