Hurt in a Fort Worth Car Wreck? What to Do Next
What you do in the first days protects your claim. If you can't do all of this, call us and we'll handle it.
Get medical care now
Go to the ER or urgent care, for example JPS, Texas Health Harris Methodist Fort Worth or Medical City Fort Worth, even if you feel "okay." Insurers use gaps in treatment to cut offers.
Get the crash report
Fort Worth Police (or Texas DPS on some state highways, or the Tarrant County Sheriff) files a Texas Peace Officer's Crash Report (CR-3). Copies are also sold through TxDOT's online system.1 We request it for you.
Photograph everything
Vehicles, plates, the intersection, signals and your injuries. Ask nearby businesses about camera footage, because it is often erased within days.
Don't give a recorded statement
The other driver's adjuster works for their insurer. Talk to a lawyer before you give a statement or sign anything.
Don't accept the first offer
First offers are usually low. Once you sign a release, the claim is over, even if your injuries get worse.
We front every cost
Crash reports, records, experts, filing fees. No recovery, no attorney fee, and you're never out of pocket while your case is open.

Straight answers
Fort Worth Car Accident FAQs
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Texas?
In most Texas injury cases, the deadline to file a lawsuit is two years from the date of the crash.5 Claims involving a city, county or other government vehicle can require written notice much sooner. Evidence such as camera footage disappears far sooner, so it pays to start early.
What if I was partly at fault?
Texas uses proportionate responsibility: you can recover as long as you are not more than 50% responsible, and your recovery is reduced by your share of fault.6 Don't accept the insurer's version of fault. Get a free review first.
Where would my Fort Worth case be filed?
Most claims settle without a lawsuit. If one is needed, Texas venue rules generally allow filing in the county where the crash happened or where the defendant lives.7 For a crash in Fort Worth, that is usually the Tom Vandergriff Civil Courts Building (Tarrant County civil district courts), 100 N. Calhoun St., Fort Worth.2
Do you have an office near me in Fort Worth?
Principal office: Lakeway, TX. We meet DFW clients by phone or video.
What does it cost to hire a car accident lawyer?
Nothing up front. The consultation is free, we front the costs of building your case, and we only collect an attorney fee if we recover money for you. Court costs and case expenses may apply and are explained in your agreement before you sign.
My crash was on an I-35W TEXpress lane. Who do I claim against?
Usually the at-fault driver's insurer. Managed lanes can also involve the lane operator's incident records and camera footage, and those should be requested quickly. We send preservation letters early.
The insurance company already offered me money. Should I take it?
Not before a free case review. First offers are usually low, and signing a release normally ends your claim, even if your injuries get worse.
What if the driver who hit me had no insurance?
Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) or personal injury protection (PIP) coverage may apply. We review your policy for free.
