Car crashes are one of the most common causes of serious injury and death in our area. These can be complex claims requiring legal action and the guidance of Houston car accident lawyers.
Many of us will be in a car accident at one point in our lives. One always hopes that the accident is minor and that no one suffers injuries.
However, if you or a loved one have been seriously injured in a car accident, you know the crash is just the beginning of a lengthy recovery process. Car accident injuries can require weeks, months, or even years of rehabilitation and medical treatment. The cost of this medical treatment can be staggering. Losses can also come in other forms, such as lost wages or income.
Car Accident Injuries
A serious car crash involves a tremendous amount of force. Even if you are wearing your seatbelt and your vehicle is equipped with airbags, there is still the potential for great harm. Car accident injuries can include:
- Concussions/Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Neck injuries
- Burns
- Internal bleeding
- Broken bones
- Paralysis
- These injuries can sometimes be successfully treated in a relatively short time. Others – like paralysis or a TBI – are something that will stay with the victim forever. They may require regular medical care for the remainder of life, and can affect a person’s ability to perform everyday tasks.
Mild traumatic brain injuries are often associated with car accidents and may be dismissed as a concussion or post-traumatic stress from the accident. Often referred to as “the silent injury,” even a mild traumatic brain injury can be severe and potentially identified by small behavior changes. Seeking medical attention after a car accident is always reasonable and recommended.
A major car accident is an expense and a tragedy you shouldn’t have to cope with alone. Between the pain and inconvenience, insurance adjusters continuously attempt to get statements regarding the accident. A legal team like ours exists to help educate you about your rights, and help you protect them. We encourage you to speak with a lawyer experienced in car accident law about how you may be able to get compensated for your financial, physical, and emotional suffering.
Why Should You Hire a Car Accident Attorney?
Protection. In many car crashes, the accounts of how the accident occurred may be unclear. However, even in cases where the liability (the fault) may be on the other driver, there are insurance companies and their representatives who may be handling thousands of claims.
To ensure your rights are protected and that you receive the maximum recovery, we recommend you speak with us for a free consultation. When the car accident attorneys at Houston Car Accident Lawyer take on an auto accident case, we investigate every aspect of the crash.
What sets us apart is that we’ll go to the scene of the accident and consult with the country’s top experts. We also front the expenses so you or your loved ones may take this time to recover.
The compensation that may be available will vary case by case. You can be certain, however, that our attorneys will always seek the maximum compensation possible under the law. We pursue every legal avenue to get our clients what they need to move on in life. That is our commitment to you as personal injury lawyers.

Hospital stays, ambulance rides, medical procedures

Physical rehabilitation
Property damage
Loss of income because you were unable to work, or you were forced to take a lower-paying job because of your injuries
Pain and suffering
