What to Do After a Car Accident in Carrollton
Those who suffer injuries or lose a loved one in a car accident in Carrollton should:
- Seek medical attention: No matter how minor your car accident may seem, go to a walk-in clinic, emergency room, or your doctor as soon as possible. If you have injuries, your medical visit should uncover them. Your medical care can also establish that your injuries are accident-related.
- Refrain from saying anything on (or off) the record: Your words can be held against you after an accident. Even saying “I’m sorry” to another person involved in your accident could harm your case. It is best not to say anything to anyone involved in your case, whether that is an insurance company, fellow motorist, or attorney other than your own.
- Hire an attorney: Once you hire an attorney, they will handle your case. They will advise you on what to say and handle as much of your case as possible.
Hiring an attorney from Loncar Lyon Jenkins removes the complications from your car accident. Our team will explain what you need to do moving forward in simple terms. You may need to do very little as we seek compensation for you.

Recoverable Damages in a Carrollton Car Accident Case
No two car accidents in Carrollton are the same. Our team will need to review your case to determine what your losses have cost you. There are many common losses in car accident cases, including:
- Professional damages: Injured car accident victims may be unable to work, either permanently or temporarily. We’ll seek coverage for all of your professional damages, including lost wages, lost earning power, lost bonuses, and diminished productivity.
- Pain and suffering and lost quality of life: The physical pain, emotional anguish, and psychological trauma you experience will be part of your lawsuit. These are collectively known as “pain and suffering,” and they reduce your quality of life.
