What to Do After a Car Accident in Texas
A collision is stressful. Start with safety, then gather clear information that can help with reporting, insurance communication, and repair planning.
At the scene
Move out of active traffic only when it is safe and lawful. Check for injuries and contact emergency services when needed. Follow instructions from responding authorities.
Document what you can
Photograph vehicle positions, visible damage, road conditions, and relevant signs without putting yourself at risk. Exchange contact and insurance information.
Plan the vehicle's next move
Do not drive if damage affects tires, steering, lights, visibility, leaking fluids, or secure body panels. Call our Rosharon shop for towing coordination and a free repair estimate.
Keep expectations accurate
