What can I do if I'm injured in a multi-vehicle accident in Rockwall?
After being injured in a multi-vehicle accident, your priority should be to seek medical attention immediately, document the scene, and secure professional legal help to ensure you are treated fairly.
Even if you feel "fine" or just have minor stiffness, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. Injuries like whiplash, concussions, or internal bruising often have a delayed onset. Getting a medical evaluation immediately after the crash creates a direct link between the accident and your injuries, which is vital for any future insurance claim.
If you are physically able, try to gather as much information as possible while still on the scene. This includes taking photos of all the vehicles involved, the road conditions, and any skid marks. Most importantly, ensure you get the names and contact information for all drivers involved, not just the one who hit you.
The Rockwall Police Department will file a crash report that serves as the "official" version of events. This report will include the officer's opinion on how the crash started and whether any citations were issued. Having this document is the only way to ensure that the insurance companies have the facts straight and that you are not being unfairly blamed for the collision.
In a four-car crash, four different insurance companies will be fighting to pay as little as possible. This often results in "finger-pointing" where no one wants to take responsibility. A lawyer can act as your shield, handling all the phone calls and investigating the crash to prove who was actually at fault.
