A:
Have your vehicle looked at by whoever you want to have fix it. Don't give a statement--tell them to check the police report, damage to the other persons vehicle damage to yours. They should give you a rental during the repair part.
If you were hurt get with a member of the Texas Assn for Justice for the county where the wreck happened--they give free consults.
