Report An Accident Claim
It’s critical to report your claim as soon as possible for a variety of reasons. Accidents necessitate a more comprehensive investigation, for example. It’s also preferable to investigate right away after an accident so that everyone remembers the specifics.
Speeding, failing to yield, driving under the influence of alcohol, following too closely, and running red lights and stop signs are all causes of car accidents in Dallas.
Avoid A Collision
- Slow down and drive to conditions.
- Allow extra room when turning into oncoming traffic, but be patient and keep your eyes open for other drivers.
- Take precautions to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you.
- Look both ways before you enter a crosswalk.
- Signal every turn and lane change.
- At stoplights and stop signs, come to a halt.
- If you’ve had alcohol, don’t drive.
What To Do If You’ve Been In A Car Accident
- Check for injuries. If anyone is injured, look after them.
- Move your car out of the street to a safer location where you can provide names, addresses, phone numbers, vehicle identification numbers, car license plate numbers, insurance information, and driver’s license information.
- Determine what caused the collision and obtain the names, addresses, and phone numbers of any witnesses. If the cars are immovable, erect flares or raise your hood to protect the area.
When To Call the Police
Always contact the police if:
- 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 Is The Best Time To Move Your Car?
If no one is injured in the accident, don’t wait for the cops to arrive. If you can drive the car, the law compels you to move it out of the traffic flow.
Stop and exchange information if there is any damage to the vehicle. If someone is injured, help them and notify law enforcement. Find the driver or leave a note describing what happened if you strike an unoccupied car. If you’re driving a vehicle that isn’t yours, include both the owner’s name and address on the note as well.
Exchange Information
Be sure to exchange insurance information with all drivers involved in the accident, in accordance with Texas State law.
The following data should be collected: name, address, phone number, insurance provider, policy number, driver’s license number, and license plate number for the driver and owner of each vehicle.
If the driver’s name differs from the one on the insurance card or registration, ask what relationship they have (e.g., parent, friend, employer, etc.) and record that information. Give each driver the same information.
Witness Information
If you discover witnesses at the scene, attempt to get their addresses and phone numbers or remember their appearance in order to point them out to cops when they arrive.
Auto insurance
Texas law requires all drivers to have minimum liability coverage. If you don’t have auto insurance, you could face a fine of up to $350 (or more if you’ve previously been fined for no insurance). Be prepared to show your insurance card if an officer asks, as well as notify your insurance provider about the accident as soon as possible.

You should consult an attorney for advice regarding your individual situation. We invite you to contact us and welcome your calls or communications. However, contacting us does not create an attorney-client relationship. Please do not send any confidential information to us unless and until an attorney-client relationship has been established, which will be via a signed, written, retainer agreement. This website contains articles and commentary regarding certain jury verdicts. However, a jury verdict often does not reflect the actual amount that a plaintiff receives. Judges often reduce jury awards. Sometimes Judges add attorneys’ fees and other damages to awards. As a result, final awards or settlements, are often for different amounts than the amount awarded by the jury. Many of the jury awards discussed on the website, ended up being dramatically reduced.
