What to Do After an Accident
If you’ve been involved in an accident, following these immediate steps can help protect your rights and strengthen your case, whether it’s a motor vehicle accident, oilfield & mining accident, premises liability, or wrongful death incident:
Ensure Safety: Move to a safe area if possible. This applies to motor vehicle accidents and accidents on job sites. Avoid any further risks.
Call Emergency Services: Contact the police and emergency responders immediately. They will document the accident, which is crucial for future legal proceedings. A police report can be especially important in motor vehicle accidents and premises liability cases.
Collect Evidence:
- Photos: Take pictures of the scene, damages, injuries, and anything relevant. This is especially important in motor vehicle accidents and accidents on business properties.
- Witness Statements: Gather information from witnesses who saw the accident. This can help in cases like premises liability or accidents involving oilfield & mining accidents.
- Police Report: Ensure a police report is filed to officially document the event.
Seek Medical Attention: Even if you don't feel injured, it's critical to get checked out by a health care provider. Some injuries caused by these accidents may not be immediately apparent.
Track Your Injuries and Medical Costs: Keep a detailed record of all medical treatments, prescriptions, bills, and expenses related to your recovery.
What to Expect in a Personal Injury Lawsuit
After an accident, filing a personal injury lawsuit may be necessary to get compensation. Here’s what you can expect:
Filing the Claim: Your attorney will help file a claim with the responsible party’s insurance. Whether it’s a motor vehicle accident, oilfield & mining accident, or premises liability, your attorney ensures the correct paperwork is submitted.
Negotiation and Settlement: The majority of personal injury cases settle outside of court through negotiations. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your case may go to trial.
Case Duration: The time it takes to resolve a personal injury claim can vary. While some cases settle in months, others, particularly complex cases involving wrongful death or severe injuries from oilfield & mining accidents, may take longer.

Honestly, I cannot express how fortunate I was to work with Beth and Joe at Hampton and Newman. They walked with me through every step of my case and worked extremely hard to ensure the best possible outcome. All of this while providing emotional and moral support when I was at my lowest point. These are fundamentally good people who can take hard situations and make them significantly more manageable. They are the type of people who would give you the shirt off of their backs if you needed it. I wouldn’t want to work with anyone else. Thank you both for everything.- Calvin B.
