Just in a Houston car accident? Do these 6 things.
- Get to safety and check for injuries. Call 911 — in Texas you must report a crash involving injury, death, or major property damage.
- Let police document the scene. The officer’s crash report (Form CR-3) becomes key evidence.
- Photograph everything — vehicles, positions, damage, the road, signs, injuries.
- Exchange information but don’t admit fault or say “I’m fine.”
- See a doctor the same day, even if you feel okay. Adrenaline hides injuries and gaps in treatment hurt claims.
- Be careful with the insurance adjuster — you are not required to give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer.
