What to Do if You’re in a Texas Car Accident Obtain Medical Attention for your Automobile Accident Injuries If injured, you should get immediate medical attention and follow your doctor's instructions.  Even if you’ve suffered minor injuries, obtain a prompt medical examination – internal injuries, like brain and spinal cord damage, can go undetected with catastrophic results.  In addition to providing proper treatment, an exam will document the nature and source of your injuries.  Be sure to include the secondhand effects of your injuries, such as pain or impairment. Collect Evidence from the Car Accident Scene After an automobile collision, it is important to gather evidence of what happened at the accident scene.  Usually, the police at the scene take crash photos before the car accident site is cleared.  If not, request that they do so.  If possible, take photos of the scene yourself, noting the road and weather conditions.  Preserving the scene through pictures can help your attorney's experts reconstruct critical evidence that can help explain exactly what happened.  Finally, be sure to obtain the names and contact information of any and all witnesses. Preserve the Vehicle Involved in the Car Wreck It’s very important that that you preserve your vehicle until you retain an auto accident attorney.  Dents, scratches, airbags, even tire treads can be extremely informative when attempting to recreate the accident.  In addition, the accident attorney may be able to determine if there was a defect with the vehicle that may have contributed to the accident.
