What Should You Do After an Auto Accident in Canyon Lake, Texas?

Canyon Lake is located in Comal County in close proximity to major cities such as Austin, San Marcos and San Antonio. It boasts a strong economic base and offers a wide array of attractions and activities, from floating along the Guadalupe River to playing a round of golf at the popular Canyon Lake Golf Course. However, being a popular destination can have drawbacks.

Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) figures show that the number of traffic crashes in Comal County spiked in recent years. Between 2012 and 2014, for instance, an average of 1,998 traffic crashes occurred each year in Comal.

However, in 2015 and 2016, the average jumped to 2,199 per year, or an increase of 201 accidents per year.

Even if you are a safe driver in Canyon Lake, you always face the risk of another negligent driver crashing into you. If you get involved in an auto accident in Canyon Lake, the attorneys of Burch Law Firm suggest that you take these steps:

  • Gather information. If possible, you or a family member should try to get contact, license, and insurance information from the other driver(s) involved in the crash. You should also try to take photos of the accident scene, get witness contact information and save all bills, receipts, and other items related to the crash.
  • Get medical attention. If you are not taken to the hospital right away, you should see a doctor as soon as possible after the accident. You need to get checked for injuries and started on a course of treatment.
  • Order a copy of your crash report. You can go to the local law enforcement agency that responded to your crash such as the Comal County Sheriff’s Office, or you can go online and order a copy through TxDOT.
  • Speak with a lawyer. You have only a limited amount of time in Texas after an accident in which to file a legal claim. So, to protect your rights, consult with an experienced Canyon Lake car accident attorney as soon as you are ready to take action.
  • Tell the insurance company to call your lawyer. If an auto insurance company contacts you after your crash, you should avoid giving any statement or access to your medical records until you speak with a lawyer first. Before you accept it, allow the lawyer to review any settlement offer that you receive. Instead of getting harassed by the insurance company, you can simply refer the insurer to your attorney.
  • Stay away from social media. You can bet that the insurance company will try to use anything you post to your social media accounts against you. The best practice is to avoid discussing your accident on social media until your case is over. You may wish to stay off your social media accounts altogether while your case is pending.

If you have any questions about what you should do after an accident in Canyon Lake, contact Burch Law Firm. We will help you to avoid costly mistakes and provide the advice and aggressive legal representation you need during a difficult time.
