It is recommended to take the following steps if you have been involved in an auto accident in Texas to protect your rights and preserve evidence:

1. Call the police. You need to call the police to document the accident. Under Texas law, you must report your accident to a law enforcement department if it resulted in bodily injury, death, or at least $1,000 in property damage.
2. Seek medical attention as soon as possible (even if you feel fine).
3. Take photos at the scene of the accident. Take pictures of vehicle damage, skid marks, road conditions, and other relevant details at the scene.
4. Talk to witnesses. Write down their names and contact information.
5. Obtain contact information. Obtain the names, addresses, phone numbers, and driver’s license numbers from all parties who have been involved.
6. Do not talk to your insurance company before you consult with an attorney. It is in your best interests to speak with a Texas car accident attorney before reporting your crash to the insurer.

Texas follows the doctrine of modified comparative negligence, commonly referred to as “proportionate responsibility” under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 33.001. Proportionate responsibility means that you may be found partially at fault for your injury. In fact, it is not uncommon for multiple parties to be deemed negligent in a car crash. Under the modified comparative negligence rule in Texas, you can seek compensation for your injuries as long as you were less than 50% at fault for the accident. However, your compensation is reduced in proportion to your degree of fault. You will be barred from recovering damages if your fault exceeds 50%. The other party involved in the accident or the insurance company may attempt to shift blame to you to reduce the value of your car accident claim or deny it altogether. For this reason, it is critical to be represented by a Texas accident attorney from Arash Law Texas to challenge false allegations of negligence and prove that the other party was fully or mostly at fault for causing the crash.
