Auto Accidents in Central Texas and Bell County

Interstate 35 is one of the country's busiest highways and runs right through both Waco and Killeen. It stretches from Laredo in the south to Gainesville in the north and passes through major population centers like San Antonio and Austin. It is a vital way to efficiently move throughout Texas, whether the traffic is commercial or personal.

However, 35 is also one of the deadliest highways in the state. In 2019 alone, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) reported over 6,000 crashes in Bell county.

These accidents run the gamut from minor to deadly, with a much higher percentage of the latter. The presence of so many vehicles, including personal vehicles, motorcycles, and large commercial trucks, traveling at high speeds means that an Interstate 35 accident has a greater chance of serious injury and death.

If you are involved in one of these accidents, you may need the expertise of a Killeen car accident attorney to help you get full compensation for your injuries.

Steps to Take Immediately After An Auto Accident

Auto accidents are stressful situations, even when the collision is minor. In the aftermath, the scene often feels a little chaotic and people may not know what to do next.

But it is important to stay calm and have a plan in mind. Then you can help keep those around you safe, while at the same time preserving important evidence for a possible personal injury claim.

Call Emergency Medical Services

If there are any injuries that seem serious, call for emergency medical help right away. Do not attempt to move a critically injured victim unless it is absolutely necessary, as they could sustain further injury.
