Your best leverage usually comes from what happens in the hours right after the collision.
- Get medical care promptly (even if symptoms feel minor). In Texas, delays can become a talking point for insurers.
- Report the crash if anyone was injured and request the incident/report number.
- Document the scene if you’re able: traffic signals, lane position, weather/lighting, and visible vehicle damage.
- Capture rideshare details: trip time, route direction (general), pickup/drop-off location, and any confirmation messages.
- Avoid long conversations with adjusters. Keep statements factual and limited until your lawyer reviews the situation.
If you’re considering an “AI intake” tool, think of it as a way to help you remember details—not as a substitute for legal review of liability and coverage.
