What to do after a collision
Three things that matter early.
Every wreck is different. These practical steps can help you protect your health, your information, and your ability to evaluate a claim.
Save what you can.
If it is safe, photograph the vehicles, roadway, visible injuries, and crash location. Save driver and witness information, the crash report number, and any dashcam footage.
Understand the insurance decisions.
Keep claim numbers and adjuster messages. Before signing a settlement release or agreeing to a recorded statement, understand what is being requested and what rights may be affected.
If anyone is injured or in immediate danger, call 911. These suggestions are general information, not advice specific to your circumstances.
When the claim gets complicated
The questions behind the insurance paperwork.
A fair evaluation starts with the facts—not just the first number an adjuster offers.
An insurer is disputing fault
We look at the collision evidence, witness accounts, reports, and the facts that may establish responsibility.
The other driver has little or no insurance
We evaluate available liability coverage and whether your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may apply.
The offer does not account for your losses
Medical treatment, income loss, future needs, and other legally recoverable damages may matter to the value of a claim.
Your injuries are more serious than they first appeared
We discuss the medical course, documentation, timing, and whether further investigation or litigation may be necessary.

Meet Santos LawQuestions we hear often
Straight answers after a wreck.
You can ask questions before deciding what to do next.
Do I have to pay upfront to talk to Santos Law?
An initial injury-case review does not require an upfront attorney fee. If Santos Law agrees to represent you, the written agreement will explain the contingency fee, case expenses, and other terms before you decide.
What if the other driver does not have insurance?
Depending on the facts and policy language, your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may provide another possible source of recovery. We can review the available policies and explain the options.
The insurance company already made an offer. Is it too late to call?
Not necessarily. Save the offer and any release. It is important to understand the full scope of your injuries and what a signed agreement would resolve before accepting a settlement.
How long do I have to bring a car accident claim in Texas?
Time limits and notice requirements vary based on the parties and type of claim. Some situations require action sooner than people expect. Contact an attorney promptly so the relevant deadlines can be evaluated for your circumstances.
