Hurt in a Plano Car Wreck? Do These 5 Things
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 Medical City Plano or Texas Health Presbyterian Plano, even if you feel "okay." Insurers use gaps in treatment to cut offers.
Get the crash report
Plano Police (909 14th St.), or Texas DPS on state highways, files a Texas Peace Officer's Crash Report (CR-3). Copies are also sold through TxDOT's online system.1 Plano Police sell crash reports online2. 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.

Plano crash data
Where Plano Crashes Happen: Legacy, the Tollway & US-75
In 2024, TxDOT recorded these crash numbers inside Plano city limits:5
- In January–August 2026, Plano's top crash intersections were Legacy Dr. at the Dallas North Tollway (23 crashes), Legacy Dr. at SH-289/Preston Rd. (21) and Coit Rd. at Park Blvd. (20). Failure to control speed was the leading cause, and 5 p.m. was the peak hour.6
- Plano Police have long identified Legacy Dr. at the Tollway service road and Coit Rd. at the PGBT service road as top crash spots, and say distracted driving is the common thread.7

Straight answers
Plano Car Accident Questions, Answered
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.8 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.9 Don't accept the insurer's version of fault. Get a free review first.
Where would my Plano 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.10 For a crash in Plano, that is usually the Russell A. Steindam Courts Building (Collin County district courts), 2100 Bloomdale Rd., McKinney (or Denton County for west Plano crashes).3
Do you have an office near me in Plano?
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.
Where do I get my Plano crash report?
Plano Police Department sells CR-3 crash reports online through the city's crash-report portal. Reports can take up to 10 business days to post. Reports for crashes worked by Texas DPS are available through TxDOT's online purchase system. We get the report for you as part of your free case review.
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.
