Unlucky on the Road? Do This After an Accident

Carrollton Car Accident Lawyer
Written By Carrollton Injury Lawyer Joel Hudson

If you have been hurt in a car wreck, you can do these three things to get a head start on your personal injury claim.

1. Take pictures and video at the accident scene

If you or any of your passengers are able to, take pictures and video at the accident scene. Get footage of all vehicles and damage involved. Memories fade as time goes on, so get as many photos and videos as you can. You can also make notes in your phone about the details of the accident. The more the better!

2. See a doctor ASAP

See a doctor for your injuries as soon as possible. This could mean you go to the emergency room, an urgent care clinic, or schedule an appointment with your primary care doctor. Be sure you tell your doctor about all of the pain and injuries related to the accident. This creates a record of all of your accident injuries, which we can then take to the at-fault driver’s insurance company for payment.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I’m Joel Hudson, the founder of Carrollton Injury Law, located at 4221 Medical Pkwy, Suite 300, Carrollton, TX 75010.

With over 25 years of experience practicing personal injury law, I’ve built my firm on a simple belief: there’s a better way to handle injury claims. It starts with treating you like a person—not a number—and continues with consistent communication throughout your entire case. You can reach me directly at (972) 360-9898 to discuss your situation—I’m here to listen.

I’ve seen how a single injury can ripple through every part of your life, affecting not just you but your family too. That’s why my approach is different. At Carrollton Injury Law, we don’t just chase settlements; we focus on you. I’ve found that giving clients the extra attention many Dallas law firms overlook leads to happier clients, smoother dealings with adjusters who appreciate the updates, and, ultimately, higher injury settlements in less time. My clients often call me the “personal” attorney because we care about maximizing your recovery while also helping you navigate the disruptions a car accident or injury brings—whether it’s medical bills, lost work, or simply getting back to normal.

I earned my Juris Doctor from Texas A&M University School of Law in 1998, after completing my Bachelor of Arts in Communications and Business at Texas Christian University in 1992. Since being admitted to practice in Texas in 1998, I’ve dedicated my career to fighting for injury victims across the state.

At Carrollton Injury Law, we live by our motto: “We put Personal back into Personal Injury Law.” It’s not just a tagline—it’s how we work, every day, for every client.
