Motor Vehicle Accidents

TXDOT data shows that 11 people die every day in highway accidents in Texas.

No one plans to have a car accident. Even for the most defensive drivers, they can happen in an instant and when you least expect it. With the recent increase in the number of drivers on Texas roads today, being involved in a car accident is not a matter of “if,” but rather “when.” So, what should you do after a crash if you are injured? The first steps taken after an accident are crucial and can significantly improve your chances of physical and financial recovery.

Pull off the road and find a safe place.
Contact the police and file a report. It’s required by law.
Talk to any witnesses and get their contact information.
Seek medical attention for injuries, even if you think you are okay.
Describe your injuries in detail to the medical staff.
Request complete diagnostic tests.
Report the accident to your insurer, but be careful what you say.
Never give a statement to the other driver’s insurance company.
Hire an experienced personal injury attorney.
Keep a diary of your injuries.

The worst insurance ever wanted to give me a couple of thousand dollars after their insured ran me over. James Trujillo represented me and I received way more compensation for my injuries than what the insurance offered. Everytime I called, he and the staff had the answers to my questions. You are in good hands with James Trujillo!

Tuve un accidente de auto hace casi tres años y el otro conductor fue claramente culpable. Su compañía de seguros se demoró y ofreció una indemnización bajísima. El Sr. Trujillo evaluó mis lesiones y, tras consultarme extensamente, decidimos programar un juicio con jurado. Soy abogado de profesión y me impresionó mucho el dominio del Sr. Trujillo en la sala y su trato con el jurado y los testigos. Al final, logró obtener una sentencia cinco veces superior a la que le ofreció su compañía de seguros. ¡¡¡Dos pulgares arriba!!!

La peor aseguradora de la historia quiso darme un par de miles de dólares después de que su asegurado me atropellara. James Trujillo me representó y recibí una compensación mucho mayor por mis lesiones de la que me ofrecía la aseguradora. Cada vez que llamé, él y su personal respondieron a mis preguntas. ¡Con James Trujillo, estás en buenas manos!

I was involved in a car accident almost 3 years ago and the other driver was clearly at fault. His insurance company dragged their feet and made rock-bottom settlement offers. Mr. Trujillo assessed my injuries, and after consulting with me at great length, we decided to set it for jury trial. I am an attorney by profession, and I was most impressed with Mr. Trujillo’s command of the courtroom and his demeanor with jurors and witnesses. In the end, he was able to obtain a judgment of more than five times what was offered by their insurance company. Two Thumbs Up!!!
