Our Bryan personal injury attorneys have the skills and experience to help you recover damages such as:

What to Do After an Accident
What to do after an accident can be confusing and stressful when you’re injured and in pain. Following certain steps after your accident can help us obtain the best possible result for you.
Seek Medical Treatment
First and foremost, your health is your top priority. Seek immediate medical treatment so a physician can diagnose and treat your injuries.
Take Photos
If possible, take pictures of the accident scene, the vehicles, and your injuries, or ask for help. Pictures of the scene and vehicles, along with a doctor’s report and photos of your injuries, can be used as evidence to prove how serious the accident was and the injuries it caused.
Collect Information
It is also crucial to gather information such as the other party’s name and contact information, insurance information; car make and model, the police officer’s name and incident number, and the contact information of any witnesses.
Our office will also assist in collecting this type of evidence and any crash reports. Let us handle the investigation and legal details so you can focus on healing.
