After a crash in Allen

Allen sits along US 75 and SH 121, two highways that move large numbers of commuters each day. Stacy Road is another well-traveled route, linking neighborhoods, schools and shopping areas.

Allen is in Collin County, so claims here generally involve Collin County records and courts. Daily rush-hour congestion, frequent merging and busy intersections near retail areas are common settings for rear-end and turning collisions.

Many Allen drivers commute to Dallas, Plano and beyond, so a single crash can involve multiple insurers and several drivers.

What to do after an accident

  • Get medical care as soon as possible and keep follow-up appointments.
  • Call the police so a crash report is made.
  • Take photos and video of the scene and vehicles.
  • Exchange information with the other driver and get witness contacts.
  • Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company before consulting a lawyer.
  • Keep all medical, repair, and employment records.

The report can be requested from the Allen Police Department, or purchased online through TxDOT's Crash Report Online Purchase System (C.R.I.S.).

How Texas law affects your claim

Texas is an at-fault state. The person who caused the collision is generally responsible for the resulting damages.

Most personal injury lawsuits have a two-year filing deadline, with exceptions in limited cases.

Texas's proportionate responsibility law lowers your compensation by your percentage of fault and generally bars recovery if you are more than 50% responsible.

If your policy includes PIP coverage, it may help with medical bills no matter who was at fault, unless you rejected it in writing.

Alers Law handles pre-litigation claims, preparing and negotiating them with insurers. Because Allen is in Collin County, lawsuits are filed in McKinney.
