A Car Accident Can Change Everything in Seconds
One moment you are driving to work, picking up your kids, or heading home. The next, you are dealing with pain, medical bills, insurance calls, missed work, and a vehicle you may not be able to drive.
After a serious crash, you deserve answers. You deserve protection. And you deserve someone who knows how insurance companies work.
Attorney Jessica Rodriguez-Wahlquist helps injured Texans pursue justice after car accidents caused by negligent drivers. Whether the crash involved distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, failure to yield, unsafe lane changes, or a rear-end collision, Jessica can help you understand your rights and your next steps.
Common Injuries After a Car Accident
Not every injury is obvious at the scene. Some symptoms appear hours or days later, especially after the adrenaline wears off.
Common car accident injuries include:
- Neck strain, often called whiplash
- Back injuries
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica or radiculopathy
- Concussions or traumatic brain injuries
- Shoulder, knee, wrist, or hip injuries
- Fractures
- Internal injuries
- Nerve pain, numbness, or tingling
- Anxiety, sleep problems, or post-traumatic stress symptoms
If you are experiencing headaches, dizziness, confusion, weakness, numbness, worsening pain, or vision changes after a crash, you should seek medical attention immediately.
Why Medical Treatment Matters
Medical care is important for your health first. It also helps document how the crash affected you. Insurance companies often look for gaps in treatment, delayed care, or incomplete records to argue that your injuries are not serious or were not caused by the crash.
Seeing a doctor, following treatment recommendations, and keeping records of your symptoms can help protect both your health and your claim.
What to Do After a Texas Car Accident
After a crash, you should:
- Call 911 if anyone is hurt or if the vehicles are blocking traffic.
- Get medical care as soon as possible.
- Take photos and videos of the vehicles, damage, roadway, traffic signs, and visible injuries.
- Get witness names and contact information.
- Do not admit fault at the scene.
- Avoid giving a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
- Contact Attorney Jessica Rodriguez-Wahlquist to discuss your rights.
Insurance Companies Are Not on Your Side
Insurance adjusters may sound helpful, but their goal is to protect the insurance company’s money. They may try to blame you, minimize your injuries, question your medical treatment, or pressure you into accepting a quick settlement before you know the full value of your case.
Texas follows proportionate responsibility rules. That means if you are found partly at fault, your recovery may be reduced. If you are found more than 50% responsible, you may not be able to recover compensation. This is why evidence matters.
What Compensation May Be Available?
Depending on your case, you may be able to pursue compensation for:
- Medical bills
- Future medical care
- Lost wages
- Loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Physical impairment
- Disfigurement
- Property damage
