What Should I Do After a Hit-and-Run Crash in Bullard, TX?
After a hit-and-run crash in Bullard, you should move to a safe spot if you can, call 911, and get medical care right away. These steps can help protect your health and create a record of what happened.
When officers arrive, tell them what you remember about the driver who left, including the vehicle's color, make, or license plate number. Take photos if possible, collect contact details from anyone who saw the crash, and ask for a copy of the police report.
While you recover, personal injury protection (PIP) on your Texas auto policy may help pay your medical bills unless you rejected it in writing. If the driver is never found, uninsured motorist coverage may also help, depending on your policy.
Depending on your injuries, you may be able to recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. If you need ongoing medical care, your claim may also cover future treatment costs and other related expenses.
Under Texas law, you generally have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, you may lose the right to seek compensation through the courts, even if you are still recovering.
Even in a hit-and-run claim, your own insurance company may offer less than your losses are worth. A car accident lawyer can deal with the insurer for you and help you understand what your claim may be worth.
