Car Wreck Lawyer Brian Brunson - Dallas Personal Injury Lawyer

If you were in an accident, whether you got hurt or not, you will probably need to get your car fixed. It’s important to have your car repaired quickly because most people rely on their cars to go to work, take kids to school, run errands, and have fun. But there are certain steps you need to take to make sure your car gets fixed properly after the accident. If you don’t follow these steps, it could take a long time to get your car fixed, or your insurance claim might not be approved.

7 Important Steps To Take After An Accident

In order to make sure that the insurance company pays for all of your car repairs and that these repairs are done quickly, you can follow these steps.

  1. If you can, take pictures of the accident scene, your car, the other person’s car, and how they ended up after the accident. These photos could be important in proving who was at fault.
  2. Get the other driver’s insurance information, as well as their name, address, and phone number.
  3. Check if your car is still drivable or if it needs to be towed.
  4. Write down all the details of the accident, including damages to both vehicles and any witness information.
  5. Ask the police officer when you can get a copy of the police report.
  6. Contact your insurance company and inform them that you’ve been in an accident. Do not go into detail until you speak with us!
  7. Contact the Law Office of Brian Brunson

Once we have discussed the details of your claim and you have an approved estimate from the insurance company, make arrangements to have your car fixed.

Choosing a Quality Repair Shop

When you bring your car in for repairs or regular maintenance, it’s important that the mechanic, auto repair shop, or service station handles the repairs with a certain level of care. This care should meet certain standards, such as:

  • Making sure the repairs are done with precision and expertise
  • Showing the typical abilities and talents of fellow auto technicians
  • Checking and taking your car for a test drive to guarantee it is completely safe to drive
  • Avoiding neglecting any essential fixes
  • Giving you a written quote and receiving your consent before starting any work on your vehicle

If you experience any damages due to careless repairs, the car service business or mechanic could be held accountable for their actions. There are several instances where mechanics have been found negligent in their work, leading to potential problems for the customers, these may include:

  • Not fixing all the worn out or broken parts completely
  • Putting the wrong replacement part on the car
  • Accidentally causing damage to other parts of the vehicle during the repair
  • Missing important repairs that need to be done
  • Changing the car in a way that makes it illegal to drive on public roads
  • Forgetting to clean out dirty fluids, debris, or any foreign objects during repairs

Negligence and Auto Repair Facilities

If an accident is caused by a mechanic’s error, you are entitled to take legal action against them. However, if the mechanic responsible for the mistake offers to correct the faulty repair without any additional charges, it is your responsibility to minimize the damages by allowing them to re-fix your vehicle, especially if you did not sustain any physical injuries.

Proving cases of negligent repairs can be complex. Seeking counsel from the Law Office of Brian Brunson is crucial to safeguard your rights and secure the maximum compensation for medical bills, lost income, property destruction, and emotional distress. It is essential to have legal support to navigate through the legal process and ensure that you receive the justice you deserve.
