After an injury car accident, take these steps to help the recovery process
When someone has been injured in a car crash, it's hard to know what to do to help. Injured people need appropriate medial treatment, but they also need to have their civil and legal rights protected.
After a serious crash, several steps need to be taken, including dealing with the insurance companies, tracking and documenting lost income from missed work, coordinating medical bill payments, and handling an insurance claim.

Hi, this actually actually
Hi, this actually actually happened on Maxwell Road in a Pocket Park off of Huffmeister. There is a small memorial that has been set up by friends and family. The park was established in 2013 by Harris County.
Thank you so much for letting
