After a crash in Prosper

Prosper has changed fast, with new neighborhoods, schools and businesses opening along its main routes. US 380, Preston Road (SH 289) and the Dallas North Tollway carry much of that traffic.

Prosper spans parts of Collin and Denton counties. Because many roads are still being widened or extended, drivers may meet lane shifts, new signals and unfamiliar intersections.

Highway speeds on US 380 and Preston Road can turn a routine turn or merge into a serious collision. If this happened to you, take your time and focus on your health first.

What to do after an accident

  • Get checked by a medical provider as soon as you can.
  • Call the police to make sure a report is created.
  • Take photos of the scene, the vehicles, and any injuries.
  • Write down witness names and the other driver's insurance information.
  • Wait to give any recorded statement to the other driver's insurer until you have spoken with a lawyer.
  • Keep every bill, receipt, and letter related to the crash.

You can request the report from the Prosper Police Department, or purchase it online with TxDOT's Crash Report Online Purchase System (C.R.I.S.).

How Texas law affects your claim

Texas follows an at-fault system. The driver who caused the accident is generally responsible for the losses that result.

A personal injury lawsuit generally must be filed within two years of the injury, though certain situations may change that timeline.

If more than one person shares blame, Texas reduces your compensation by your percentage of responsibility. A person found more than 50% responsible is generally barred from recovering.

PIP coverage may help with medical expenses no matter who was at fault, unless you rejected it in writing.

Alers Law focuses on pre-litigation claims, working with insurers to document and negotiate. Collin County matters are filed in McKinney and Denton County matters in Denton.
