Saturday roundup. Here is what the week looked like, and what we put out.

Tuesday morning was speed networking with the Lavon Area Chamber of Commerce. A few minutes with each person, and a lot more faces to go with the names up and down Main Street. Thursday we were back with the chamber for lunch, where the Lavon Police Department shared safety tips and updates for local businesses.

Wednesday I started something new. I handle car wrecks for a living, and I just got in one, so I am walking through it one day at a time in a short video series. Day 3 went up last night.

Friday the Princeton office closed for the day while I was at a hearing in Tarrant County. Our office is in Princeton. The work goes wherever the case does.

On the posts, the week came back to one question: who is actually on the other side.

1. The name on the truck door is a good place to start, and rarely the end of the list. On a commercial wreck the driver, the tractor, the trailer and the load can each belong to a different company. Photograph the door, the trailer, the plate and any paperwork somebody hands you.
2. Whoever has been answering your calls is usually not the person who decides. The useful question is a different one: who else has to approve this, and what do they need in front of them?
3. A letter from a company you have never heard of is not always junk. Read the top of the page, write down who sent it and what they say their part is, and keep both.
4. About to start working for somebody new? Ask for their certificate of insurance before the first day. It shows what is covered and puts the company's legal name in writing.
5. "I felt fine at the scene" is common, and soreness often shows up a day or two later. Get checked that same week and tell the doctor everything, including the small things.

Have a good weekend.

Wreck update; 1. policy information to set up a claim will be in the police report; 2. typically police reports will be ready about 10 days after an accident and; 3. Don't answer the phone when strange numbers call to let you know the police report is ready, those people are case runners and ambulance chasers!

Day 3 of tips for when a wreck was not your fault: what happens to your car.

If it is drivable, take it home. If it has to be towed, the tow yard usually takes it to their own lot. If you want it elsewhere it’ll be at your expense. If you can tell the tow driver where to take it, pick somewhere you can get to, like your home or a friend's place. Either way, know where your car is going.

And before any of that: make sure everyone is okay, call EMS, and give the police a clear account of what happened, as best you can remember it.

Antes de discutir cuánto le deben, asegúrese de saber quién se lo debe.

El que lo contrató, el que firmó el contrato y el que manda el cheque a veces son tres nombres distintos.

Preguntar temprano no cuesta nada, y cambia por completo lo que se puede hacer después.

Friday in Fort Worth.

A lot of this job is phone calls, paperwork and waiting on the other side. Some days it looks like this instead: a historic courthouse in Tarrant County, under a blue sky.

Our office is in Princeton. The work goes wherever the case does.

Fernando here:

Filing this one with the neighbors instead of the clerk.

The Princeton office will be closed this Friday, October 9, for one day. I have a hearing in Tarrant County that morning, and the staff will be working remotely.

If you need us Friday, call 214-764-6424 or send a message here.

Si va a empezar a trabajar para alguien nuevo, pida el certificado de seguro antes del primer día.

Es algo normal y nadie se ofende.

Le dice que la empresa es real, le dice qué está cubierto, y le deja por escrito el nombre legal de la compañía.
