Police Reports
Even if you were not badly injured in your accident, you should always call the police to the scene. When the police arrive, they investigate the accident scene. Police can evaluate tire marks and impact areas, to determine things like the speed of cars at impact. They can also assess if any laws were broken to cause the accident. After their initial investigation, police will likely have written an accident report of your accident. You or your Dallas personal injury lawyer can contact the traffic division of your local law enforcement agency to provide you with a copy.
Eye Witness Statements
Depending on where the accident happened and when there might be eyewitnesses available to provide you with statements. Gather the contact information of anyone who witnessed the accident and available to provide a statement. Your Dallas car accident lawyer can contact them for their testimonials
No-Doubt Liability
Insurance companies view certain accidents as no-doubt liability accidents. This means in almost all claims involving these types of accidents the other driver is mostly at fault. Rear-end accidents are one example of no-doubt liability.
