  1. CRASH COURSE: NAVIGATING THE AFTERMATH OF A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT Auto mishaps can be incredibly traumatic experiences, both physically and emotionally. Even minor fender benders can leave drivers and passengers shaken up, while more severe collisions can result in significant injuries or even fatalities. If individuals experience a motor vehicle accident in Houston, it's vital to understand what to do in the immediate aftermath and in the days and weeks that follow. Besides, experts will provide a crash course in navigating the aftermath of an automobile accident. IMMEDIATE STEPS TO TAKE The moments after a vehicle accident can be chaotic and confusing, but there are a few key steps people should take as soon as possible: 1. CHECK FOR INJURIES First and foremost, ensure that everyone involved in the accident is okay. If anyone is seriously injured, call immediately. 2. EXCHANGE INFORMATION Share contact and insurance information with the other driver(s) involved in the casualty. Be sure to get their name, phone number, address, license plate number, plus insurance company and policy number. 3. DOCUMENT THE SCENE Take snaps of the wear to a vehicle, as well as any damages a person or passengers have sustained. Write down the names and contact details of any witnesses to the casaulty.

  2. DEALING WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES Once individuals have taken care of the immediate aftermath of the mishap, they will need to start dealing with insurance companies. Here are a few tips: 1. NOTIFY INSURANCE COMPANY Contact an insurance company as soon as possible after the mishap to report the incident and start the claims process. 2. BE HONEST When speaking with an insurance company, be honest and accurate about what happened. Don't exaggerate or downplay the extent of the damage or injuries. 3. DON'T ACCEPT THE FIRST OFFER Insurance agencies are firms, and their goal is to pay out as little as possible. Don't accept the first settlement offer folks receive unless they're confident that it's fair. Being involved in a car accident can be an incredibly stressful and traumatic experience. If anyone is struggling to cope with the aftermath of the accident legally, consider seeking seasoned professional help from a lawyer or counselor. 832-639-0717
