The order of operations is medical care, then evidence, then counsel. A trauma evaluation at Baylor Scott & White Hospital (Taylor) or a comparable Taylor facility creates the contemporaneous record that supports a future claim, especially when the injury is something like Trip and fall injuries caused by unseen hazards in darkness that can be missed on a roadside check.

A short call with a lawyer before that conversation almost always changes the trajectory of the case.
