What to Do after a Car Accident in San Antonio

Advice from Maloney Law Group, P.L.L.C.

When you seek compensation for your injuries, large insurance companies will do everything they can to fight your case and minimize the payout you receive. These companies have massive legal departments and seemingly endless funding, so it is important to choose an advocate who can put you on even footing with these huge corporations.

Follow These Steps after an Accident

At Maloney Law Group, P.L.L.C., we can dedicate our time and resources to your individual case. We pride ourselves on relentlessly pursuing just compensation for clients throughout Texas. Our San Antonio car accident attorneys have the knowledge, experience, and resources to battle with insurance companies for the compensation you deserve. We are well-versed in the tactics regularly used to avoid covering the full extent of your injuries, and we know how to counter them effectively.

After a car accident, you should:

• Call the police: You will need a police report to file with your insurance claim, especially if there is severe damage to your vehicle or if you have been seriously injured.
• Seek medical attention: Your health is the most important concern after an accident. If you are well enough to walk away from the accident without needing an ambulance, go to an emergency room or a doctor as soon as possible. Not only does this ensure that you get the treatment you need after an accident, but it also starts a record of your injuries. We will need this to show the insurance company how your injuries may affect you in the future.
• Exchange information with the other driver: As long as you are not severely injured, get the other driver's name, contact information, and insurance policy information. If you are severely injured, ask another person, such as the police officer, to get this for you.
• Contact a lawyer: While you will need to file a claim with an insurance company, either the at-fault driver's or your own, you may be better off contacting us first. Many insurance companies will record your interview and use anything you say against you as you make your claim. We can help you file your claim and negotiate for fair and full compensation on your behalf.

The most important thing our lawyers do is protect your interests. All of these actions can help us make sure that protection is most effective.
