Your health should come first.

When Should You Go to the Emergency Room After a Car Accident?

If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Dallas, getting evaluated by a medical professional may be important—especially if you’re experiencing pain, dizziness, headaches, difficulty moving, numbness, confusion, bleeding, or other concerning symptoms.

Some injuries may also become more noticeable in the hours following an accident.

White Rock Medical Center provides 24/7 emergency care in East Dallas, so you can be evaluated when you need it. Our Emergency Room is available for patients experiencing injuries and other medical emergencies, with walk-ins welcome.

What If You Don't Know What to Do After the Accident?

Getting medical attention is one part of the process. But what happens after that?

Many accident victims have questions like:

  • What am I supposed to do next?
  • What information and documents should I save?
  • Who should I contact?
  • Should I speak with an attorney?
  • How do I keep track of appointments and everything happening with my accident?

If you're feeling lost after an accident, Accident Advocate Network (AAN) is a resource available to help accident victims understand the general process and get organized.

Accident Advocate Network is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Instead, its advocates help people understand general next steps after an accident, stay organized, navigate resources, coordinate follow-up needs, and, when requested, connect with attorneys who can answer legal questions.

The goal is simple: you shouldn't have to figure out the entire process by yourself.

Start With Your Health

After an accident, don't ignore symptoms simply because the crash seemed minor or because you're unsure what to do.

If you're experiencing an emergency or concerning symptoms after an accident, White Rock Medical Center's Emergency Room is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in East Dallas.

And if the medical emergency is handled but you're sitting there thinking, “Okay…what am I supposed to do now?”, Accident Advocate Network can help you understand the general next steps and find the right resources.
