Lakeway Amputation Injury Lawyer

Get medical attention first. Baylor Scott & White Medical Center (Lakeway) is the closest level of care most Lakeway clients use for serious cases, and a written record from the date of the incident is one of the most valuable pieces of evidence we ever obtain. From there, document the scene with photographs, collect contact information for any witness who saw what happened, and avoid giving any recorded statement to an insurance adjuster until you have spoken with a lawyer. Loss of fingers, hands, or arms often takes days to fully present, which is another reason early documentation matters.
