Getting Started
If you haven’t done so already, contact your auto insurance company to give notice of your accident. It’s a good idea to follow up a telephone claim report with a written report of the claim as soon as possible. This will help protect your rights under Texas’ prompt payments of claims laws, which outline three deadlines for insurance companies once you’ve filed a claim in writing. Under the law, the insurance company must respond within 15 days, requesting any additional documentation needed. Upon receiving these documents, the company has another 15 days to reject or accept your claim. If the claim is accepted, a check must be sent within five business days.
If you don’t think you’re getting fair treatment or you’ll get the compensation you deserve from the insurance company, contact a Texas injury lawyer like Terry Bryant, who specializes in handling auto accident claims. You can contact our law office by simply completing a free consultation form online or calling 1-800-444-5000. After you take this step, someone from our office will contact you to talk with you about the details of your accident and answer your questions about your rights and what to do next.
Regardless of whether or not you decide that hiring a Texas auto accident lawyer is in your best interest, it’s a good idea to save certain documents relating to your accident and injuries, as they can be useful in supporting your claim. Such items include a copy of the accident report, photos of the accident scene and involved vehicles, photos of your injuries, medical reports, and the names and contact information for any witnesses to the accident.
Knowing Your Rights
When considering legal action to get the compensation you deserve for your Texas auto accident, it’s important to know your rights. Depending on the specific details of your accident and injuries, you’ll likely have the right to compensation for the damage and repair of your vehicle, medical bills and related expenses, lost wages, disability, pain and suffering, and other expenses resulting from the accident and injuries.
On another note, you have the right to not give a statement to or sign a release presented by an insurance adjuster. While the adjuster may seem friendly and concerned about you, he or she is working for the insurance company, not your best interest. As a result, his or her goal is to save the insurance company money, which means giving you as little as possible for your claim. If you’re asked to give a statement or sign a release, it’s best to talk with a Texas auto accident lawyer first.
