Car accident FAQs
What should I do right after a car accident in McAllen?
If you can, move to safety and call 911 so an officer documents the crash. Photograph the vehicles, the road, and any injuries; get the other driver's license, plate, and insurance; and collect witness names. See a doctor the same day even if you feel okay. Then call us before giving any statement to the other driver's insurer — what you say early can be used to cut your payout.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Texas?
In most Texas car accident cases you have two years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit. Waiting hurts you, though — dashcam footage gets overwritten, skid marks fade, and witnesses move. The sooner you call, the more evidence we can lock down for your claim.
What if the driver who hit me had no insurance or fled the scene?
You may still recover. If you carry uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, your own policy can pay for a hit-and-run or an uninsured at-fault driver — and Texas drivers often have this coverage without realizing it. We review your policy for free, find every layer of coverage, and fight your own insurer if it stalls on a UM claim.
The insurance company offered me a settlement already — should I take it?
Almost never without talking to a lawyer first. A fast offer made days after a wreck is designed to close your claim before you know whether you'll need an MRI, injections, or surgery — and once you sign the release, you can't ask for more. Let us value the full claim, including future care and your damaged vehicle, before you accept anything.
