What to Do After a Dallas Car Accident

In the chaos after a crash, it’s hard to think clearly. Here's what you should do immediately:

Call 911

Report the accident and request medical help. A police report strengthens your legal claim.

Seek medical attention

Even if you feel okay, get evaluated. Some injuries take hours or days to show symptoms.

Document the scene

Take photos, exchange info, and collect witness names if possible.

Do not admit fault

Avoid speculation or apologies. Let the facts speak for themselves.

Before talking to any insurance company, consult with our legal team to protect your rights.

What If the Insurance Company Calls You?

It’s important to remember that no matter how friendly the adjuster sounds, their job is to protect the company’s bottom line—not your best interests. They may offer you a quick, low settlement before you’ve even had time to understand the full extent of your injuries. Some may try to get you to admit partial fault or pressure you into giving a recorded statement that can later be used against you.

That’s why it’s best to let our team handle all communication from the start. We know how to shut down these tactics and will fight to make sure you receive the full compensation you’re entitled to.

Dallas Car Accident Statistics: The Risk is Real

According to recent data from the Texas Department of Transportation, in a single year:

  • Over 31,000 car crashes occurred in the city of Dallas alone
  • 12,000+ people were injured
  • 889 suffered incapacitating injuries
  • 173 people tragically lost their lives

Car accidents happen every day in Dallas — and too often, innocent victims are left dealing with the painful and expensive consequences. If someone else’s reckless or negligent driving caused your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation.

This financial recovery can help you pay for critical medical treatment, cover lost wages if you're unable to work, repair or replace your damaged vehicle, and support your ongoing recovery. It’s not just about money — it’s about reclaiming your peace of mind and rebuilding your life after the crash.

Things You Should Worry About Saying After a Crash

After a car accident in Dallas, what you say can be used against you. Avoid these common mistakes:

  • Don’t apologize, even out of politeness — it may be misinterpreted as admitting fault.
  • Don’t guess about what happened or who’s to blame.
  • Never give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company.

How Our Dallas Car Accident Lawyers Help

Our legal team builds your case from the ground up:

  • Investigating the accident scene and police reports
  • Collecting witness statements, surveillance footage, and black box data
  • Working with medical experts to assess the full impact of your injuries
  • Negotiating with insurance companies for a fair settlement
  • Preparing for trial if necessary — we’re not afraid of the courtroom

You focus on your recovery. We’ll handle everything else.

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Dallas

Most crashes happen because someone failed to follow the rules. We commonly see:

  • Distracted driving – texting, using apps, or otherwise not paying attention
  • Drunk or drug-impaired driving
  • Speeding and aggressive driving
  • Running red lights or stop signs
  • Unsafe lane changes or failure to yield
  • Driver fatigue

Regardless of the cause, if another driver’s negligence injured you, our team at Trust Guss Injury Lawyers.

What If You Were Partially at Fault?

In Texas, you can still get compensation for your injuries even if you were partly at fault — as long as you weren’t more than 50% responsible. Your compensation may be reduced based on your level of fault, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have a case. Don’t make assumptions. Let the experienced team at Trust Guss Injury Lawyers review the details and help you understand your options.

How Long Do You Have to File a Car Accident Lawsuit in Texas?

The statute of limitations for car accident claims in Texas is two years from the date of the crash. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to recover damages — permanently.
Don’t delay. Let us evaluate your case and start protecting your rights today.

Evidence That Can Help Your Case

We use every available piece of evidence to strengthen your case, including:

  • Police crash reports
  • Photos and video footage from the scene
  • Witness testimony
  • Vehicle damage assessments
  • Medical records and expert opinions
  • Traffic cam or dashcam footage (when available)
  • Cell phone records and driving history (in applicable cases)

The sooner we start gathering this evidence, the better.
