What to Do After a Car Accident in Edinburg
Immediately after a car accident, it’s important to stay calm and take certain steps to protect your safety, health, and legal rights. Here’s what you should do:
- Ensure Safety & Call 911: Check yourself and others for injuries. If anyone is hurt, call 911 right away to get medical help and police on the scene. Even for minor accidents, it’s wise to have the police come and make an official report.
- Move to a Safe Area: If the vehicles are drivable, move them out of traffic (e.g., to the shoulder or a parking lot) to prevent further accidents. Turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers.
- Exchange Information: Trade information with the other driver(s). Get their name, phone number, address, driver’s license number, license plate, and insurance details. Also collect contact info from any witnesses. This information will be important for insurance claims and potential legal action.
- Document the Scene: Use your phone to take photos of the accident scene. Capture vehicle damage, skid marks, debris, the other car’s license plate, and any visible injuries. If the accident was at an intersection, photograph the intersection and any traffic signs or signals. These photos can serve as valuable evidence later.
- Avoid Admitting Fault: When talking to the other driver or police, stick to the facts of what happened. Do not apologize or admit fault for the accident, as these statements could be used against you. It’s best to let the investigation determine fault.
- Seek Medical Attention: If you aren’t taken directly to the hospital, be sure to see a doctor as soon as possible, even if you feel okay. Some injuries (like whiplash or concussions) might not show symptoms right away. A medical exam not only protects your health but also creates documentation of any injuries from the crash.
- Report the Accident: Notify your insurance company about the accident promptly (usually within 24 hours). Texas law requires that crashes involving injury, death, or significant property damage be reported to the police. Having a police accident report will help when filing an insurance claim.
- Consult a Car Accident Lawyer: Especially if anyone was injured or if fault is unclear, consider contacting an experienced car accident attorney. A lawyer can advise you of your rights, deal with insurance companies on your behalf, and help you pursue compensation while you focus on recovering.
Know Your Legal Rights After a Car Accident
After a car accident in Texas, you have certain legal rights. First and foremost, if the accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, you have the right to seek compensation for your losses. Texas is an “at-fault” state, which means the driver who caused the crash (and their insurance company) is responsible for the damages. You can pursue money for your medical bills, vehicle repairs or replacement, lost wages from missing work, pain and suffering, and other accident-related expenses.
You also have the right to have an attorney represent you in dealings with insurance companies and in court. You are not obligated to give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance adjuster, and it’s often better to consult with a lawyer before discussing the accident in detail with the insurance company. Additionally, you have the right to refuse any settlement offer that you believe is insufficient. Insurance adjusters might offer a quick payout that doesn’t fully cover your costs; you have the right to say no and negotiate for a fair amount.
It’s important to be aware of the time limits on your rights. In Texas, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit after a car accident is generally two years from the date of the accident (per Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003). This means if you wait longer than two years, you could lose your right to take legal action. There are few exceptions, so it’s best to act within this timeframe.
Another right you have is to have insurance coverage that can help in an accident. Texas law requires drivers to carry liability insurance with minimum limits of 30/60/25 (that is, at least $30,000 coverage for each injured person, up to $60,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage). This is often called “30/60/25” coverage. These minimums are designed to compensate people you might injure in an accident. If you are the victim, the at-fault driver’s liability insurance is meant to cover your losses up to their policy limits. If the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough, you may have rights under your own policy’s Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage (if you carry it) to make up the difference.
Finally, you have the right to seek justice and hold the negligent party accountable. This can include filing a lawsuit to obtain fair compensation if the insurance company will not offer a reasonable settlement. While most cases settle out of court, knowing that you can take the case to court (and having an attorney prepared to do so) is a powerful protection. In summary, after an accident, you have the right to medical care, to be made whole for your losses by the responsible party, and to get legal help to navigate the process. Our role as your attorneys is to protect those rights on your behalf.
Understanding the Car Accident Claims Process
Dealing with insurance claims is a key part of the aftermath of a car accident. Here’s an overview of how the claims process typically works in Texas:
- Notify the Insurance Company: After an accident, you should notify your insurance company as soon as you can. If another driver was at fault, you will be filing a third-party claim with their insurance company as well. Prompt notification is important – many policies require that you report accidents “promptly” or within a certain number of days. Provide basic facts of the crash (when, where, who was involved) but you don’t need to go into great detail initially.
- Investigation of the Claim: The insurance company (yours or the other driver’s) will assign an adjuster to investigate. They will likely review the police report, talk to the drivers and any witnesses, inspect vehicle damage, and possibly review medical records if you’re claiming injuries. The adjuster may contact you for a statement. It’s often advisable to speak with an attorney before giving a recorded statement to ensure you don’t accidentally say something that could hurt your claim.
- Assessment of Fault and Damages: The insurance adjuster will determine who they believe was at fault for the accident (insurance companies in Texas follow the comparative negligence rules – you can recover damages as long as you were not more than 50% at fault). They will also evaluate the cost of the claim, including medical bills, repair estimates, rental car costs, etc. You should keep records of all your accident-related expenses and medical treatment to support your claim.
- Settlement Offer: In many cases, the insurance company will propose a settlement once they’ve completed their evaluation. This is an amount of money they are willing to pay to resolve your claim. Initial offers are often on the lower side. If you have an attorney, they can negotiate with the insurer. The goal is to reach a fair settlement that covers all your past and future expenses related to the accident, as well as something for your pain and suffering.
- Negotiation: There may be a period of negotiation where you (or your lawyer) and the insurance adjuster go back and forth. You may need to provide additional documentation or justification for the amount you’re asking. Patience can pay off here – jumping at the first offer may leave money on the table. An experienced car accident lawyer will know how to value your case and negotiate effectively.
- Resolution or Lawsuit: If an agreement is reached, the insurance company will require you to sign a release, and then they will issue a settlement check. If a fair agreement cannot be reached, you have the option to file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver (and their insurer). Once a lawsuit is filed, the case enters the litigation phase, which includes discovery, depositions, and possibly mediation. Even after filing suit, many cases settle before going to trial. However, if no settlement is reached, the case would go to trial and a judge or jury would decide the outcome.
Throughout the claims process, it’s important to remember that insurance companies are businesses aiming to minimize their payouts. In Texas, insurers are required to handle claims in good faith and within certain timeframes. For example, an insurance company typically must acknowledge your claim, in writing, within 15 days, and after you submit all required documents, they usually have 15 additional business days to accept or deny your claim. If they agree to pay, they must send the payment within 5 days of that decision. These rules (set by the Texas Department of Insurance) help protect consumers from unnecessary delays.
Having an attorney can make the claims process smoother and help ensure you receive fair treatment. Your lawyer will handle communications with the insurance adjuster, gather and submit evidence, and fight for a fair settlement. If necessary, your lawyer can file a lawsuit to push the case toward a resolution. While you focus on healing and getting life back to normal, your attorney focuses on the legal and procedural aspects of your claim.
Types of Car Accidents
Car accidents come in many forms, and The Adley Law Firm has seen them all. Different types of accidents can present different challenges when it comes to determining fault and proving your case. Here are some common types of car accidents we handle for clients in Edinburg and throughout Texas:
Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end accidents happen when one vehicle crashes into the back of another. These are one of the most frequent types of crashes on the road. They often occur because a driver is following too closely or is distracted (like texting and not noticing the car ahead has stopped). Even at low speeds, rear-end collisions can cause injuries like whiplash, which is a neck injury from the sudden jolt. In most rear-end cases, the driver who hits the car in front is found at fault for not maintaining a safe following distance. However, we still gather evidence (like skid marks, vehicle damage, and witness statements) to prove liability. If you were rear-ended in Edinburg – for example, at a stoplight on University Drive or on the expressway – we can help you pursue a claim for your injuries and vehicle damage.
T-Bone (Side-Impact) Accidents
T-bone collisions, also known as side-impact crashes, occur when the front of one vehicle strikes the side of another vehicle, forming a “T” shape at the point of impact. These often happen at intersections. For instance, a T-bone accident might occur on South Closner Blvd if one driver runs a red light or stop sign and hits another vehicle crossing the intersection. Side-impact accidents can be very dangerous, especially for the person on the side that’s hit, because there’s less shielding in the side of a car than in the front or rear. These crashes can result in serious injuries like broken ribs, pelvic fractures, or internal injuries. Determining fault usually comes down to which driver had the right-of-way. We gather evidence such as traffic camera footage (if available), witness accounts, and accident reconstruction analysis to show who was negligent (for example, failing to yield or speeding through a light).
Head-On Collisions
Head-on collisions involve the front ends of two vehicles hitting each other, often at high speeds. Although less common than other types of accidents, head-on crashes are among the most deadly. They can occur if a driver crosses the center line into oncoming traffic or drives the wrong way on a one-way street or highway ramp. In the Edinburg area, a head-on collision might happen on a rural highway or farm-to-market road where there is only one lane each direction and no median. The impact forces in head-on crashes are extreme, frequently leading to catastrophic injuries or fatalities. Survivors may suffer multiple fractures, severe head injuries, or spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis. In these cases, we look at factors like whether one driver was intoxicated, distracted, or fell asleep at the wheel. We leave no stone unturned in investigating head-on accidents because the consequences for victims are so serious.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents occur when a vehicle strikes a person who is on foot. Edinburg’s growing community means more pedestrians walking near busy roads and around the UTRGV campus, and unfortunately, pedestrian collisions do happen. These accidents often result in severe injuries or death, since a person’s body is no match for a moving vehicle. Common causes include drivers not paying attention in crosswalks, failing to yield while making turns, or driving on the shoulder. If you were hit by a car while walking or jogging, you have the right to seek compensation from the negligent driver. Important evidence in pedestrian cases can include the police report, skid marks showing whether the driver tried to brake, and any video from security or traffic cameras. The Adley Law Firm can help injured pedestrians (or the families in fatal cases) to hold the driver accountable and recover damages for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Truck Accidents
Accidents involving large trucks (such as 18-wheelers, semi-trucks, and other commercial vehicles) are a special category of car accidents. Edinburg is situated near major highways (like I-69C/U.S. 281) that see a lot of commercial truck traffic. When a big rig collides with a smaller passenger car, the results can be disastrous due to the massive weight and momentum of trucks. Truck accident cases tend to be more complex for a few reasons: multiple parties might be liable (the truck driver, the trucking company, a maintenance contractor, etc.), and there are many state and federal regulations involved (like hours-of-service rules that limit how long truckers can drive without rest). If you’re in an accident with a truck, it’s crucial to work with a law firm experienced in trucking litigation. We will examine the truck’s driver logs, maintenance records, and the onboard “black box” data recorder to find out what happened. Trucking companies and their insurers often deploy investigators immediately to the scene, so you need an advocate quickly to protect your interests. Our firm has successfully handled truck accident cases, fighting for victims to receive the substantial compensation often needed after such severe crashes.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents are another type of case we handle frequently. Motorcyclists face higher risks on the road because they lack the protection of a car’s frame, seatbelts, or airbags. Even with a helmet and protective gear, a motorcyclist can suffer serious injuries in a collision. A common scenario is a car driver not seeing a motorcycle and turning left in front of it at an intersection, causing a crash. Other times, a driver might sideswipe a motorcycle while changing lanes if they fail to check their blind spot. Because motorcycles are smaller, drivers sometimes misjudge their speed or distance. In Edinburg and nearby areas, many people enjoy riding motorcycles year-round, so we’re very mindful of motorcycle safety. If you are a rider who was hit by a careless driver, The Adley Law Firm is prepared to advocate for you. We understand the biases that sometimes exist (unfair assumptions that motorcyclists are reckless, for example) and we work hard to prove exactly how the other driver was at fault. Motorcycle accidents often result in severe injuries like road rash, broken bones, or head injuries, which means the stakes in these cases are high.
Rideshare (Uber & Lyft) Accidents
Rideshare accidents involve drivers or passengers of Uber, Lyft, or other rideshare services. In a college town and tourist area like the Rio Grande Valley, rideshare vehicles are common on the roads of Edinburg. If you are injured while riding as a passenger in an Uber/Lyft or if you are hit by a driver who is working for a rideshare company, the claim process can be a bit different. These companies have insurance policies that cover their drivers, but the coverage depends on what the driver was doing at the time of the crash (whether they were waiting for a ride request, en route to pick up a passenger, or carrying passengers). For example, Uber and Lyft provide $1 million liability coverage once a driver has accepted a ride and is carrying passengers. Our firm stays updated on the latest rules and insurance policies for rideshare companies. We help clients navigate the added layer of dealing with a big rideshare company and their insurers. The key is to identify all potential sources of insurance coverage – the rideshare company’s policy, the driver’s personal auto policy, and even your own policy’s provisions – to make sure you get fully compensated for your injuries.
Drunk Driving Accidents
Drunk driving (DWI) accidents are sadly a persistent problem across Texas. An intoxicated driver’s impaired judgment and reflexes are a recipe for disaster on the road. If you were injured by a drunk driver in Edinburg, that driver will likely face criminal charges for DWI. However, the criminal case does not pay for your injuries – that’s where a civil claim comes in. You have the right to sue the drunk driver for the damages they caused. In many drunk driving accident cases, we pursue punitive damages in addition to compensation for medical bills and other losses. Punitive damages are meant to punish especially reckless behavior, like driving while extremely intoxicated. Texas also has a “dram shop” law that might apply: if a bar, restaurant, or liquor store overserved the driver (sold or served alcohol to someone who was obviously intoxicated) and that driver then caused the accident, the business could also be held liable in certain cases. These cases can be complex, but they are important for promoting accountability. The Adley Law Firm has zero tolerance for drunk drivers, and we work tirelessly to get justice for victims of DUI crashes – whether through insurance claims, lawsuits, or both.
Common Car Accident Injuries
A car crash can cause virtually any type of injury, from minor bumps to serious, life-altering trauma. Here are some of the most common car accident injuries we see in our clients:
Whiplash and Other Neck Injuries
Whiplash is one of the most common injuries in rear-end collisions. It happens when the force of the impact causes your head to snap backward and forward rapidly, straining the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in your neck. Symptoms might not appear immediately, but within 24-48 hours you could develop neck pain, stiffness, headaches (often starting at the base of the skull), and dizziness. Most whiplash injuries heal over time with proper rest, neck bracing, and possibly physical therapy, but some can cause chronic pain. In addition to whiplash, car accidents can cause more serious neck injuries, like herniated cervical discs or even fractures of the vertebrae in the neck. Always get neck pain checked by a medical professional after an accident to rule out anything serious.
Head Injuries and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
Car accidents are a leading cause of head injuries. Even if you don’t strike your head on something, the sudden jolt can make your brain collide with the inside of your skull. This can result in a concussion, which is a mild traumatic brain injury. Concussions can cause symptoms like headaches, confusion, memory loss, nausea, or mood changes. More severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can occur if there’s a direct blow to the head or penetrating injury (for example, hitting the windshield or being struck by debris). Serious TBIs can lead to long-term impairment in cognitive function, speech, or movement. It’s critical to monitor for signs of head injury after a crash – if you experience persistent headaches, vomiting, uneven pupil size, or loss of consciousness, seek medical care immediately. Recovery from a brain injury might involve rest, medication, therapy, or even surgery, depending on the severity.
Broken Bones and Fractures
The force of a collision often causes people to sustain broken bones (fractures). Common fractures in car accidents include broken arms, wrists, or hands (from bracing against the steering wheel or dashboard on impact), broken legs or ankles (especially if the leg area is crushed or twisted), and broken ribs or collarbones (sometimes caused by the seatbelt or airbag force). Broken ribs can be particularly painful and can potentially injure internal organs (a rib fracture can, for example, puncture a lung). Some fractures are simple breaks that just require a cast and time to heal, while others are complex and may need surgical repair (using metal pins, plates, or screws). Serious fractures might also require rehabilitation or physical therapy after the bone heals, to restore strength and mobility. When pursuing a claim, we make sure to account for all the medical treatment you’ll need, including any future surgery or therapy for your fractures.
Back Injuries and Spinal Cord Injuries
Car accidents frequently cause back injuries, since the impact can put tremendous stress on the spine. A common injury is a herniated disc – the force can cause one of the spinal discs (which are like cushions between your vertebrae) to rupture or slip out of place, pressing on spinal nerves. This can cause pain, numbness, or weakness in your back and other areas (like down your leg, if it’s affecting the sciatic nerve). More severe are spinal cord injuries, which happen if the spinal cord itself is damaged. This can lead to partial or complete paralysis below the level of injury. For example, an injury high in the neck could cause quadriplegia (paralysis of all limbs), whereas a lower back injury could cause paraplegia (paralysis of the lower body). Even a less severe back injury can be very debilitating – people might find they can’t lift things, exercise, or even sit or stand comfortably for long. These injuries often require extensive medical intervention, from pain management and physical therapy to possible surgery (like spinal fusion). Our lawyers understand that back and spinal injuries can dramatically change a person’s life, and we work to recover compensation not just for immediate medical bills, but also for long-term care, medical equipment, and the impact on quality of life.
Internal Injuries
The trauma of a crash can cause internal injuries that aren’t immediately visible. The impact might injure internal organs or cause internal bleeding. For instance, a seatbelt, while saving your life, can also press very hard against your abdomen and chest in a high-speed crash, sometimes leading to internal bruising or injuries. Common internal injuries from car accidents include abdominal bleeding, injuries to the spleen or liver, kidney damage, or lung contusions (bruised lung tissue) if the chest is impacted. Internal injuries are dangerous because people might not realize they have them until hours or days later when complications arise. This is why it’s so important to get a full medical evaluation after a serious accident – scans like CT or ultrasound can detect internal bleeding or organ damage early. Treatment for internal injuries might involve emergency surgery to stop bleeding or repair organ damage. These injuries can be life-threatening and often require intensive care. If you suffer internal injuries due to a crash, we will seek compensation for all the emergency treatment and any long-term consequences those injuries cause.
In addition to the above, car accident victims may experience cuts and lacerations (which can leave scars), severe bruises, shoulder or knee injuries (from bracing against the impact), and even psychological injuries like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It’s not uncommon to have anxiety or flashbacks about driving after a bad accident. Emotional distress is a real injury and can be part of your compensation as well. No matter what type of injury you sustained, the law in Texas allows you to recover for the full extent of your damages from the responsible party.
Edinburg, TX Car Accident Resources
After a car accident in Edinburg, you might need to reach out to local authorities or services. Here are some useful local resources and information:
- Edinburg Police Department: 1702 S. Closner Blvd., Edinburg, TX 78539. Phone: (956) 289-7700. The Edinburg PD is likely to be the agency that responds to accidents within city limits. They can provide you with an official accident report. To get a copy of a police report (also called a crash report), you can request it in person or by mail through the police department’s Records Division. The police report will have important details about the accident and is often a key piece of evidence for insurance claims or a legal case.
- Edinburg Fire Department: 212 W. McIntyre St., Edinburg, TX 78541. Phone: (956) 383-7691. The fire department may respond to your accident if there are injuries, fuel leaks, or other hazards. They provide emergency medical services and fire suppression. It’s useful to have their contact, although in an emergency you will reach them via 911.
- Nearby Hospitals: In the event of serious injuries, you will likely be taken to a local hospital. Edinburg has several major hospitals, including:
- DHR Health (Doctors Hospital at Renaissance) – 5501 S. McColl Rd., Edinburg, TX 78539. This is a large hospital in Edinburg with a Level I Trauma Center. DHR Health can handle severe and critical injuries. If you need ongoing treatment or specialists (like orthopedic surgeons or neurologists), this hospital has extensive services.
- South Texas Health System Edinburg – 1102 W. Trenton Rd., Edinburg, TX 78539. Part of the South Texas Health System, this hospital (formerly known as Edinburg Regional Medical Center) also provides emergency care. STHS Edinburg is another location where car accident victims might be treated, depending on where the accident occurred and availability.
- Obtaining a Crash Report: The official Texas Crash Report (Form CR-3) for your accident is usually available a few days after the accident. In Texas, all law enforcement agencies send crash reports to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), which keeps them on file. You can request a copy online via the TxDOT Crash Report Online Purchase System. You’ll need some information like the date of the accident, the location (Edinburg), and one of the driver’s names. There is a small fee (usually $6.00 for an uncertified copy). Alternatively, you can request the report directly from Edinburg PD’s records office (in person or by mail) if you prefer. Having that crash report will be very helpful when you file an insurance claim or if you pursue legal action, as it contains the officer’s findings and any citations issued.
- Texas Department of Insurance (TDI): The TDI is a state agency that oversees insurance companies in Texas. They provide consumer resources and can help if you are having issues with an insurance claim. For example, if an insurance company is not handling your claim properly or is violating your rights, you can file a complaint with TDI. You can also consult TDI’s Automobile Insurance Guide for information on what auto insurance covers and the claims process. The TDI Consumer Help Line is 1-800-252-3439, which you can call for assistance or to verify an insurance company’s license and coverage requirements.
