After an accident, ensure everyone is safe, call 911, exchange information with the other driver, and contact an attorney as soon as possible. If the accident occurred on UTEP property, also notify campus security.
In Texas, the statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, if your accident involved UTEP or occurred on university property, there may be additional considerations.
