In this video, Attorney J. Michael Moore of the Moore Law Firm explains why one of the most important steps you can take after a car accident is to call the police—before contacting anyone else. This isn’t just a formality; it’s a crucial move that can protect your rights and strengthen your claim.
When the police arrive at the scene, they document key details that can make or break your case. They identify all drivers, passengers, and insurance information. They investigate and record who they believe is at fault, gather statements from witnesses, and document the property damage, injuries reported, and even photographs or video evidence. All of this becomes part of the official police report—a vital tool in both property damage and personal injury claims.
Without this report, you may face significant challenges if the other party disputes fault or if the insurance company questions the extent of your injuries or damage. The report provides an unbiased, third-party account of the accident, which we can use to build your case and demand fair compensation.
If you’ve been injured, this information is especially critical. At the Moore Law Firm, we use the police report to support your claim for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and vehicle repairs. We ensure that no detail is overlooked, and we fight to hold negligent drivers and insurance companies accountable.
For over 30 years, we’ve helped accident victims across Texas recover the compensation they deserve. From reviewing the police report to negotiating with insurers—or taking your case to court if necessary—we’re with you every step of the way.
