The things that you do after a serious injury in Fort Worth are important. They can impact your health and your eventual financial recovery. Here are some things to do after serious injury:
Medical care for the injured is the top priority. Call 911 if anyone might be seriously hurt. Follow instructions until help arrives. Be aware of your surroundings and stay clear of dangers like traffic, machinery and live electricity.
For car accidents, call the police. When an accident occurs on someone else’s property, tell the owner. Make a formal report if it’s a business or organization. Tell your employer about a workplace injury. Don’t assume that the right people know about the accident. Report it as soon as you can. Get a copy of the accident report. If there is no accident report, keep the record that you reported it.
Take pictures and video of the accident scene. Get contact information for witnesses. For car accidents, get the driver’s license, vehicle and insurance information for all drivers. Keep records of your medical care, lost work and other ways you are impacted by the accident.
With so many changes after an accident, it’s easy to forget small details. A written record can help you remember dates of treatment, healing, activity levels and costs. An attorney can explain how to keep track with a diary.
As soon as we take a case, we take care of everything. We talk to the insurance company so that you don’t have to. Our lawyers and team members are here to answer your questions. Talk to a lawyer and start the compensation process today.
Usually, you have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas. That includes for car accidents, slip and falls and most personal injury accidents. For wrongful death, the two-year period begins on the date of death.
There are exceptions, like for delayed discovery and when a minor is under age 18. Claims against a unit of government require notice within 180 days. Some local government entities have even shorter notice requirements.
Talking to the insurance company doesn’t preserve your rights. Never wait to contact a personal injury lawyer.
How long you have to file a lawsuit in Fort Worth, Texas depends on the type of case and the circumstances. A lawyer can give you a personalized consultation and work quickly to start your case.
