Don’t Walk Away From a Fender Bender, Here’s What You Need to Know

It might seem like a minor fender bender, but you could be making a big mistake if you just walk away from it. Attorney Henry Wollam with KRW Lawyers was back with us this morning to explain why it’s important to take action.

Getting a lawyer involved early is key. Insurance companies often try to shift blame, and having legal support ensures someone is advocating for your rights. Your first steps should be:

1. Call the police
2. Get medical treatment
3. Call a lawyer

A lawyer acts as a buffer between you and the insurance companies, protecting you from constant calls and helping you avoid saying anything that could hurt your case.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault system. That means as long as you're not50% or more at fault, you can still recover damages. Even if you're 49% at fault, you still have a valid claim and could receive compensation for your recovery.
