Within the first hours and days, your goal is simple: protect your health and build a record that insurers can’t easily reshape.
-
Get medical care (even if you feel “okay”) Texas injury claims often turn on documentation. Some injuries show up later—especially soft-tissue issues and delayed concussion symptoms.
-
Request a copy of the crash report If police were involved, obtain the report number and any cited violations. If not, still document what you can.
-
Capture the rideshare details Write down the trip timing, pickup/drop-off location, and any driver identifiers you remember. Screenshots can help if you still have access to the app history.
-
Document the scene like you’re preparing for a Texas adjuster Photos and notes matter: lane position, intersection signals, traffic conditions, weather, and any visible damage.
-
Be careful with what you say to insurance After a crash, it’s common to get calls quickly. In Texas, early statements can be used to argue fault or minimize injury severity.
If you used an AI intake tool to organize your story, that can be helpful—but it should be treated as a starting point, not the final “case strategy.”
