CAUSES AND TYPES OF AUTO ACCIDENTS
Car accidents continue to occur despite advancements in vehicle technology such as backup cameras, adaptive headlights, and forward collision warning systems.
Accidents, no matter how minor or severe, can have a profound effect on a person's life. They can result in lost wages, physical and mental anguish, and permanent disability. Because traffic accidents occur on a regular basis, it is critical to become acquainted with the facts.
Many drivers will be found to be at fault for some of the most common causes of traffic accidents at some point. Raising awareness for these causes, on the other hand, can help educate and hopefully influence drivers to be more cautious on the road. Some of the most common causes of car accidents are as follows:
The following checklist is a “To Do” list after an accident. Included in the checklist are things to do for any injury involved in the case. Additionally, there is specific information included for people involved in auto accidents in Flower Mound.
Check injuries. Before you start moving around, make sure you are not injured more severely than you realize. The shock of an accident, due to it being unexpected, sudden, and traumatic, can sometimes cause people to not realize they are injured. Next, check your passengers for any injuries. Finally, check on the occupants of the other vehicles involved in the accident. If anyone is hurt get help immediately.
Call 911 for assistance. Let the 911 dispatcher know if anyone is injured. They will send police and paramedics to help. Police officers secure the scene, assist injured people until paramedics arrive, and then interview people involved in the accident.
Write down witness information. Get the names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, and anything else the witness can give you to contact them. Get this information even if the other driver is admitting fault. The other driver may change their story when the police arrive, or when they talk to their insurance company. You need the witness information in case of a dispute.
NOTE: If you cannot perform the steps in this checklist because of your injury, get a family member or friend to come to the accident scene to help you complete the checklist.
Get IDs and Auto Insurance Information. Exchange information with the other drivers involved in the accident. The law in Texas requires drivers involved in accidents to exchange their identification and insurance information with anyone else who has been involved in the accident. It does not matter who was at fault – so even if someone is disputing liability, they still are required to exchange this information.
Take photos of the IDs and insurance information for your records.
Take pictures of the damage to the vehicles and the accident scene. Get photos of the damage to each vehicle involved, including your own. If you cannot see the damage clearly, get photos of the point of impact on the vehicle in question.
Photograph any skid marks or debris on the road from the accident.
Photograph the road in the direction you were traveling and in the direction you were coming from. Do the same for any other vehicles involved – take photos of the direction they were traveling and where they came from.
Give your statement to the police officer. Police will interview each person involved individually. Make sure you give them your statement about what happened so your version of the accident is in the report.
Tell the officer if you have any injury, any pain, or any discomfort from the accident, so they note that in the report as well.

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS AFTER THE ACCIDENTThe first thing to do after you have been injured in an auto accident is to hire a lawyer that handles personal injury cases involving auto accidents. Talk with the attorney before you hire them. Do not sign up with a law office that does not let you talk to the attorney before signing up with that office. Call the Law Office of Doug Goyen and speak to attorney Goyen about your accident. If you need a Flower Mound accident lawyer, we will get started on your case immediately. Call (972) 599 4100.
Do not talk to the insurance company if you are hurt. The insurance adjuster’s job is to pay as little as possible for injury claims. If they can avoid paying the claim at all by getting you to say something that allows them to deny the claim, then that is exactly what they will do. Let your lawyer talk to the insurance company if you have been injured.
Get treatment for your injury. If you cannot afford medical treatment or do not know where to go for treatment for your injury, the Law Office of Doug Goyen can find medical facilities in your area that can treat you and defer payment for the bills until the auto insurance company makes payment on the injury claim.
Take pictures of visible injuries. The insurance company will demand proof that your injuries are related to the auto accident. Photos of the injuries go a long way towards showing that.
Get an estimate on your damaged vehicle. Get your own estimate. The insurance company will do an estimate, but their estimate is always lower than the actual cost of repairs. They do this because they know some people will be in financial difficulties after an accident and will use that money on other costs and never get their vehicle repaired. This saves the insurance company money when this happens since they then get out of paying the full amount they actually should owe.
You need your own estimate in case a dispute comes up. If the insurance company decides to deny the claim and you need to file a lawsuit for the damage to your vehicle you need proof of what it will cost to repair your vehicle. Without your own estimate, you will only have the insurance company’s estimate – which is lower than the actual cost to repair your vehicle.
Body shops in Flower Mound will usually give free estimates to people involved in accidents – they want your business. The following body shops are in Flower Mound, Texas:
Pro Care Collision LLC – 3211 Justin Rd, Flower Mound, Texas
Make a record of all bills and receipts. Keep copies of anything you have had to pay or now owe due to the accident. Get copies of this information to your attorney so you can be reimbursed for your expenses and bills owed.
Watch what you put on social media. The insurance adjuster and the lawyers for the insurance company will eventually see anything you post. Do not post anything that can be used against you in any way – for your injury or otherwise.
