What are my basic legal rights if I have been in a car accident?
You have the right to be returned to the same condition that you were in before the car accident. This includes not only your physical, mental and economic well being, but also the full restoration of your automobile and other personal property that was also damaged as a result of the accident.

I was in a car accident. What should I do?

  1. You must cooperate with local law enforcement as they investigate the case. However you should not sign anything admitting fault for the car accident! Never verbally or in writing agree to pay for any damages or doctor bills.
  2. It is a good idea to get checked out by a doctor soon after the car accident. This is important due to the possibility of neck or spinal cord injury. You may not currently be experiencing any pain; however, it's better to error on the side of caution.
  3. Be sure to contact your insurance company to report the accident. You should also contact us at this time to discuss your rights and so we can answer questions of liability for the car accident.

I am confused about how to deal with the insurance companies.
The insurance companies are not on your side. They are driven by keeping the claim as low as possible and minimizing your injuries. They may pressure you to quickly accept their offer even before you have fully recovered. Contact us for a free consultation before you sign anything and let us explain the process to you.  Let your Killeen auto accident lawyer deal with the insurance companies, and we will handle all of the discussion and negotiations.
