Injured in a Car Accident | After the Accident
If you have not sustained serious injuries, once you are safe, you should call 911 immediately in order to report the accident to the Houston Police Department and request an ambulance. If you worry that you have been seriously injured, ask anyone nearby to call law enforcement on your behalf. Do not try to move anyone who has been seriously injured, and do not try to move yourself if you are in significant pain. If you do so, you run the risk of worsening an injury before an emergency medical technician can begin to treat it.
You can begin to take stock of the car accident even before the police and an ambulance have arrived. You are compelled by law, of course, to exchange information with all other parties involved in the car accident, and you should be ready to provide your name, address, license plate number, and insurance information upon request. Take as many photos of the scene of the accident as you can, and be sure to collect accounts from witnesses; once you reach out to a Houston car accident lawyer, you will need to use this information in any claims you make and lawsuits you file.
