Statistics only tell you so much about vehicle accidents in South Texas. For example, here’s a tragedy that really hits home. On December 24, 2022, (Christmas Eve), “Police responded at 9:20 p.m. Saturday to a single-vehicle rollover crash at the 1200 block of E. 14th Street, Investigator Martin Sandoval, spokesperson for the Brownsville Police Department, told ValleyCentral. The vehicle had a single occupant, a 19-year-old man who died as a result of the crash. The man was identified by police as Fabian Quezada. Authorities said the driver lost control after travelling at a high rate of speed, hitting a curb, a fence, and a tree. Police do not believe that alcohol played a factor in the crash” (Source).

Here are five important things to do after a car accident injury; but, remember, our personal injury law firm offers a “free consultation” with car, truck, vehicle, and pedestrian accidents in Brownsville as well as nearby communities like Harlingen, San Benito, and even McAllen.
Immediately after the accident, ensure your safety by moving away from oncoming traffic, if possible. Turn on hazard lights and, if available, use road flares to warn other drivers. Check yourself and others for injuries and call the Brownsville Police Department or other emergency services (as needed) to report the accident and request medical assistance.
Even if your injuries seem minor, it is essential to seek medical attention. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent, and a medical professional can evaluate and document your condition. This documentation will be valuable if you decide to pursue a legal claim. Nearby medical centers include Valley Baptist, Valley Regional, and Solara Specialty Hospitals.
Collect important information about the accident, including the names, contact details, and insurance information of all parties involved. Common insurance companies in Cameron County include Geico, Progressive, Allstate, and Farmers, but it doesn’t matter what insurance the other party has; be sure to get their information! Take photos of the accident scene, the damage to the vehicles, and any visible injuries. Eyewitness statements and their contact information can also be valuable.
Before you contact an insurance company, however, contact our law firm. Our attorneys can advise on the best next steps, including how to deal with an insurance company. The process just takes minutes. Then, if advised, contact your insurance company to report the accident promptly. Provide them with accurate details of the incident, including the date, time, and location. Again, it is better, however, to do this with the advice of an attorney; in fact, in many cases our staff of Brownsville attorneys can help with the entire process.

Our accident lawyers are based in Brownsville and serve not only Brownsville but also nearby cities such as Harlingen, San Benito, South Padre Island, and McAllen. Here are some common questions:
A. First and foremost, be safe and stay safe. Take every necessary action for your own safety, that of your own passengers as well as the other vehicle. Call 911 or the Brownsville Police Department at 956-548-7000. When the police arrive, be sure to get the names and phone numbers of all witnesses. Importantly, do not admit fault! Call an accident lawyer who works in Brownsville immediately for a free consultation.
A. Here, it really depends. First, you can contact your own insurance company or that of the other party if they are at fault. Second, you can use their mobile app if desired. But, third, we highly recommend you reach out to a vehicle accident attorney. You have rights, and you shouldn’t just give them up!
A. Whiplash is seen as the most common injury in a car accident, and we definitely get more than our fair share of whiplash accidents here in Brownsville. But other injuries are possible, and some may not show up immediately. Our team can refer you to doctors and chiropractors to determine the extent of any injuries and secure funds for paying for treatment.
A. Most personal injury lawyers work on a “contingency basis.” This means the lawyer gets paid only if they win. You pay nothing if you do not prevail. You can speak to an attorney for a free consultation, and they can explain how payments work. Generally, it is “free” to you, and the lawyers are paid only if they win in court, such as the City of Brownsville Municipal Court.
A. That depends! It depends on the injuries, of course. It depends on who was injured, their age, and occupation (“lost wages”). And it depends on the insurance company, policy limits, and the responsible party’s assets. You can’t really say without reaching out to a top-rated accident lawyer who can assess the facts and the law and give you advice on settlement possibilities.
Personal injury law, of course, is the area of the law that covers what most people think of when they want to sue another party (often a corporation or an insurance company) for damages.

The settlement around the fort was called Brownsville, and a founding date of 1848 is generally accepted for the city. Finally incorporated in 1853, Brownsville was named the county seat of Cameron County (named after Ewen Cameron, a U.S. soldier killed by a Mexican firing squad during the war). Its location on the river helped establish Brownsville as a trade center for southern Texas. The city prospered, and steamboat traffic on the river further enhanced Brownsville’s status as an economic center. Source: https://www.brownsvilletx.gov/822/About-Brownsville
