What Should I Do after an Accident in Sugar Land?
After an accident you should always prioritize your safety. Getting medical assistance (and medical documentation) as soon as possible helps you protect your health and your future personal injury claim.
- First, prioritize your safety and call 911.
- Seek medical treatment right away, even if you think your injuries are minor.
- Be sure to document the scene with photos, gather witness information if possible, and obtain a police report from Sugar Land Police or the responding agency.
- It’s also best to avoid discussing the accident with insurance adjusters before speaking with an attorney.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?
Texas generally gives injury victims two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. However, some situations (e.g., incidents involving government entities or public property) may require much faster action.
What if the Accident Happened on Private Property?
If you were injured at a store, office building, apartment complex, or another privately owned location, the property owner or management company may be responsible if unsafe conditions contributed to the accident.
Will My Case Have to Go to Trial?
Not always. Many personal injury cases settle before trial. However, having a law firm that is prepared to litigate in Fort Bend County can strengthen your negotiating position.
What Damages Are Available to Me?
Depending on the facts of your case, you may be able to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, future treatment, pain and suffering, and other losses related to the injury.
