Car crash in Texas: what's in your best interest?

What is in your best interest after a crash in Texas? You already know the obvious. What almost no one explains is what really serves you, and why.

Watch: what's in your best interest after a crash
Short answer

What serves you best is to talk to a lawyer before talking to the insurance company. Insurers invest millions a year training their employees to deny claims, pay as little as possible, and close the case as fast as they can. A good lawyer knows how insurance works and how to navigate a claim, whether or not you are injured, and whether or not it was your fault.

The obvious, in one line

Yes: talk to the police, take photos at the scene, and see a doctor if you are hurt.

But you do not need a lawyer for that. There are a thousand variables, so let us explain what really serves you and why.

What serves you: a lawyer before the insurer

Why? Because insurers invest millions training their people to deny claims, pay as little as possible, and close the case fast. A good lawyer knows how insurance works and how to navigate a claim. That matters whether or not you are injured, and whether or not it was your fault.

It applies even if you think your case is simple

Many people think they have an easy case and decide to go it alone; that is where insurers take advantage. Without a lawyer you do not know what laws apply, what damages you can recover, or what the fine print says.

An example: if the crash was your fault and you have insurance, that insurer gives you a free lawyer to represent you. And if it was not your fault, the lawyer explains your options under the law and your medical treatment options.

Injured or not, your fault or not

A lawyer helps you find the maximum compensation in an injury claim. Talk to a lawyer before talking to the insurance company. Every case is different.
