Auto Accidents

According to the National Safety Council, an estimated 38,800 people lost their lives to car crashes in 2019. In the same year, approximately 4.4 million people were injured seriously enough to require medical attention in crashes.

There is a great deal of uncertainty and confusion about what to do after an accident. Alonso & de Leef’s experienced attorneys can handle your case if you have suffered injuries.

Alonso & de Leef handle cases across the state of Texas, helping victims and their families recover the maximum compensation from their severe injuries after a car accident.

If you are involved in car accident:

1. 1. seek medical attention immediately. Even if you believe you have not been injured or have only sustained minor injuries, it is important for your own well-being and any future cause of action you wish to pursue that you are evaluated by an medical professional.
       
   2. Contact local law enforcement and ensure that a police report is completed. Be truthful about what happened, however, refrain from admitting guilt. An attorney will be better suited in determining whether you, legally, played a role in the accident.
       
   3. Obtain the contact information of the other involved driver(s), passengers, and anyone else who may have been a part or witness to the accident. Preserve these individual(s) names, numbers, addresses.
       
   4. Write down any witness statements and document the scene of the accident if you are able to do so safely. Take pictures of all vehicles involved, the scene of the accident, and any visible injuries you have sustained.
       
   5. Do not speak to the other party’s insurance provider until you have first spoken with a car accident attorney. It is important to remember that the opposing insurance company is not on your side. They will use tactics to diminish the value of your claim or otherwise deny it altogether.
