Get medical attention first. Ascension Seton Williamson (Round Rock) is the closest level of care most Pflugerville 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. Complete loss of sensation and movement below the injury level often takes days to fully present, which is another reason early documentation matters.
