Depending on the facts, an injury claim may involve medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress, or property damage. A claim’s value depends on the injuries, losses, evidence, insurance coverage, and applicable law.
These may include:

There are several important steps you should take to protect your health and your legal rights after a car hits you in Houston.
Check yourself and others for injuries, and call 911 if anyone needs emergency medical care. Even if you feel fine, seeing a doctor as soon as possible is a good idea, as some injuries may not immediately show symptoms.
If it’s safe, take photos of the vehicle damage, skid marks, traffic signs, and any visible injuries. Get the contact and insurance information of the other driver(s) involved and any witnesses’ names and phone numbers.
Call the police and file an accident report, even if the damage seems minor. This call creates an official incident record that you can use as evidence in your case.
Let your insurance provider know about the accident as soon as possible, but be careful about giving recorded statements or accepting settlement offers without consulting a lawyer first.
