Were You Hurt in an Accident?
The decisions you make in the next 24–72 hours will directly affect both your recovery and your legal options.
Dr. Jensen provides prompt appointments for accident victims, thorough injury evaluation, and the clinical documentation that insurance companies and attorneys require.
Why You Shouldn't Wait to See a Doctor
Soft tissue injuries, herniated discs, and whiplash often have a delayed onset of pain — sometimes 24–72 hours after an accident. If you wait to seek care, insurance companies may argue your injuries were not caused by the accident. Prompt medical evaluation protects both your health and your claim.
5 Steps to Take Right Now
🚨 Seek Medical Attention Immediately
Even if you feel "fine," adrenaline can mask pain for hours or days. Many injuries — whiplash, herniated discs, soft tissue damage — don't show obvious symptoms right away. Getting evaluated creates a medical record that is critical for any insurance or legal claim.
Document Everything at the Scene
Photos of vehicles, the scene, your injuries. Names and contact info of witnesses. The police report number. All of this forms the foundation of your claim.
Notify Your Insurance Company
Report the accident promptly but be careful what you say. Stick to the facts. Don't admit fault, estimate damages, or describe injuries before you've been fully evaluated.
Keep All Records
Medical bills, prescriptions, appointment notes, time missed from work. These all become part of your damages claim. We'll help you stay organized.
Consider a Personal Injury Attorney
You don't have to navigate the insurance process alone. We work with trusted personal injury attorneys in the DFW area who can advise you on your rights — often at no upfront cost.
