Our dedicated team has extensive experience representing car accident victims throughout Houston and the surrounding areas. We handle everything from minor collision cases to catastrophic injury claims, providing personalized attention and aggressive representation every step of the way.

Types of Car Accidents We Handle

Rear-End Collisions

Often caused by distracted driving or tailgating, these accidents can result in serious neck and back injuries, including whiplash.

T-Bone Accidents

These side-impact collisions frequently occur at intersections and can cause severe injuries due to the limited protection on the sides of vehicles.

Head-On Collisions

Among the most dangerous types of accidents, head-on collisions often result in catastrophic injuries or fatalities.

Rollover Accidents

Particularly common with SUVs and trucks, rollover accidents can lead to traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and other serious injuries.

Multi-Vehicle Pile-Ups

These complex accidents involve multiple parties and insurance companies, requiring skilled legal representation to determine liability.

Hit and Run Accidents

When a driver flees the scene, we help victims navigate their options for compensation through their own insurance and other available sources.

Common Causes of Car Accidents

Distracted Driving: Texting, using a phone, eating, or other distractions that take a driver's attention off the road.
Drunk Driving: Operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs significantly increases the risk of accidents.
Speeding: Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases the severity of injuries in a collision.
Reckless Driving: Disregarding traffic rules, aggressive driving, and road rage contribute to many accidents.
Poor Weather Conditions: Rain, fog, ice, and other adverse weather conditions can make driving hazardous.
Defective Vehicle Parts: Faulty brakes, tires, or other manufacturing defects can lead to accidents.

What To Do After a Car Accident

1
Seek Medical Attention
Your health is the top priority. Even if you feel fine, some injuries may not be immediately apparent. Get a medical evaluation as soon as possible.
2
Report the Accident
Contact the police and ensure an official report is filed. This documentation will be crucial for your insurance claim and potential legal action.
3
Gather Evidence
If possible, take photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, visible injuries, and any relevant road conditions. Collect contact information from witnesses.
4
Notify Your Insurance Company
Report the accident to your insurance company promptly, but avoid making detailed statements or accepting blame before consulting with an attorney.
5
Contact an Attorney
Consult with a qualified car accident attorney before accepting any settlement offers. An experienced lawyer can evaluate your case and ensure you receive fair compensation.
