What To Do After an Injury in Lake Dallas

If you’ve been hurt in an accident, taking the right steps can make a major difference in your health—and your legal case. Here’s what you should do:

1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately

Your health comes first. Even if you feel fine, some injuries take hours or days to fully appear. Medical records also play a vital role in your case.

2. Report the Incident

Whether it's a car crash, a slip and fall, or a dog bite, make sure there’s an official record. Call the police or report the accident to the business or property owner.

3. Document Everything

Take photos of the scene, your injuries, damaged property, and anything else relevant. Gather names and contact info for witnesses.

4. Don’t Talk to the Insurance Company Alone

Insurance adjusters are trained to reduce payouts. Don’t sign anything or give recorded statements until you speak with a lawyer.

5. Call Carrollton Injury Law

We’ll explain your rights, answer your questions, and begin protecting your claim right away.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit?

In most cases, Texas law gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a claim. Some exceptions apply, but time is critical—don't delay.

Will my case go to court?

Many injury cases settle out of court. However, if the insurance company won’t offer a fair amount, we are fully prepared to go to trial on your behalf.

What if I was partly at fault?

Texas uses a modified comparative fault rule. As long as you’re less than 51% at fault, you may still recover compensation—though your settlement may be reduced based on your percentage of fault.

How much does it cost to hire Carrollton Injury Law?

You pay nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we recover money for you.
