In Dallas, speeding, failing to yield, driving while intoxicated, following too closely, and running red lights and stop signs are all factors in many accidents.

Avoid An Accident

• Reduce your speed and adjust to the situation.
• Drive safely and responsibly: yield to other drivers and be polite.
• Maintain a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead or behind you.
• Before crossing an intersection, look both ways.
• Signal each turn and lane change.
• Stop at red lights and stop signs.
• If you’ve had a drink, don’t get in your car.

What To Do After An Accident

1. Check for injuries. If anybody is injured, assist them.
2. Exchange names, addresses, phone numbers, vehicle identification numbers, vehicle license plate numbers, insurance information, and driver license information once your vehicle is out of the roadway.
3. Note the site of the accident and collect any names, addresses, and phone numbers of witnesses. Set up flares or raise your hood if the vehicles are immobile.

When To Call the Police

Always call the police when:

• an injury or fatality is involved,
• the vehicles cannot be moved,
• you suspect one of the drivers is intoxicated,
• one of the drivers has no insurance, or
• one of the drivers leaves the scene.

When To Move Your Vehicle

Don’t delay moving your automobile if no one is injured in a collision. If you can drive the vehicle, the law states that you must take it out of traffic flow.

If you damage a car, stop and exchange information. If someone is injured, help them and report the incident to law enforcement. If you collide with an unoccupied vehicle, look for the driver or leave a note stating what occurred. If you don’t own the car you’re driving, you must include both the owner’s name and address.

Auto Insurance

In Texas, drivers are required to have basic liability coverage. If you don’t have automobile insurance, you could face a fine of up to $350 (or more if you’ve previously been fined for lack of insurance). Be prepared to show your insurance card if an officer asks for it, as well as notify your insurance provider about the accident immediately.

No Upfront Fees! You Don’t Pay Unless We Win!

Wait a minute. The fact is that every attorney will cost you, but almost all personal injury attorneys operate on a contingency fee basis. This means they get paid based on the money they obtain for you as a settlement. As a result, if they do not bring you a settlement or judgment, you are not required to pay anything!

Even better, most will speak with you for free during a case evaluation. Make an appointment to see an experienced Dallas accident attorney to talk about any settlement offers you’ve been given and find out about your rights under current state law.

When you look for an attorney, cost should not be a deciding factor. It also implies that after your accident, you should absolutely speak to a vehicle accident attorney. You have nothing to lose and potentially much to gain by speaking with one.
