After a crash in Little Elm

Little Elm residents travel on US 380, FM 423 and Eldorado Parkway, and visitors add to that traffic, especially near Lewisville Lake. Warm weekends and holidays can bring extra vehicles, boats on trailers, and unfamiliar drivers.

Little Elm is in Denton County. Local roads connect quickly to neighboring cities, so a crash may involve drivers who live elsewhere and carry different insurance companies.

Lake traffic often mixes tired drivers heading home, trailers and heavy congestion at peak times, which can lead to rear-end and intersection collisions.

What to do after an accident

  • See a doctor soon after the crash, even if you feel fine.
  • Call the police so an official report is made.
  • Photograph the scene, damage, and any injuries.
  • Collect witness names and the other driver's insurance information.
  • Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer before speaking with a lawyer.
  • Keep medical bills, repair records, and any letters from insurers.

The crash report can be requested from the Little Elm Police Department, or bought online via TxDOT's Crash Report Online Purchase System (C.R.I.S.).

How Texas law affects your claim

Under Texas law, the driver who causes a crash is generally responsible for the harm it causes. Establishing fault is usually the first step.

Personal injury lawsuits generally have a two-year filing deadline, though exceptions exist. Knowing the deadline early helps protect your options.

Proportionate responsibility means your compensation can be lowered by your share of blame. If you are more than 50% at fault, you generally cannot recover.

PIP coverage may help pay medical bills regardless of fault, unless it was rejected in writing. Check your policy declarations page.
