IMMEDIATE STEPS TO TAKE AFTER A FORT WORTH CAR ACCIDENT: YOUR SAFETY COMES FIRST

1. Call 911 Right Away

  • Stay calm and dial 911 immediately
  • Tell the dispatcher your exact location in Fort Worth
  • Report any injuries, even minor ones
  • Request medical help if needed
  • Wait for police to arrive and file a report
  • Give your honest account of what happened


2. Document Everything at the Scene

 

Don't leave the accident scene without collecting:

- Names and phone numbers of all drivers

- Contact information from witnesses

- Insurance details and policy numbers

Photos of:

  • Vehicle damage
  • The accident scene

  • Traffic signs or signals
