Helping Victims of Car Wrecks, Truck Wrecks, and More

Roads in and around Alpine can be unforgiving. Long stretches of highway, limited lighting, and heavy truck traffic through the Big Bend region create real risks for drivers, passengers, and anyone else on the road. When a wreck happens because someone failed to drive with reasonable care, the injured person deserves answers and a path to compensation.

At James Kennedy, P.L.L.C., we handle a range of accident claims, including:

• Car wrecks: Rear-end collisions, side-impact crashes, and head-on wrecks can cause broken bones, spinal injuries, and head trauma. Even lower-speed collisions can produce injuries that linger for months.
• Truck wrecks: Commercial vehicles cause more damage by their nature. These cases can also involve additional liable parties, including trucking companies, maintenance providers, and cargo loaders.
• Motorcycle wrecks: Riders have no structural protection in a collision. Broken bones, road rash, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal damage are common outcomes, and the medical costs can be significant. We take these cases seriously and work to counter any attempt to shift blame onto the rider.

What Is a Premises Liability Claim?

Not every injury happens on the road. Some people are hurt on property owned or controlled by someone else. A premises liability claim addresses situations where a dangerous condition on someone's property caused a visitor harm.

Common examples include wet or uneven floors, broken stairs, poor lighting, unsecured animals, falling objects, and negligent security. Texas law requires property owners to take reasonable steps to keep their premises safe for people who are lawfully present. When an owner ignores a known hazard or fails to warn visitors of a danger, the injured person may have grounds to pursue compensation.

These claims can involve grocery stores, apartment complexes, restaurants, hotels, construction sites, and private residences. How long the hazard existed and what steps were taken to fix or address it are often the central points of dispute in these cases.

When a Negligent Accident in Texas Results in a Fatality

Some accidents cause injuries that are too severe to survive. When a person dies because of someone else's negligence, Texas law allows certain family members to bring a wrongful death claim. A separate action, called a survival claim, may also allow the estate to recover for losses the deceased person experienced before death.

Wrongful death claims can arise from car and truck wrecks, workplace accidents, dangerous property conditions, and other situations involving negligence. These cases carry their own deadlines and procedural requirements. Families dealing with grief should not also have to navigate an insurance dispute or a legal process alone.

The damages available in a wrongful death claim can include medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, lost financial support, and compensation for the grief and mental anguish experienced by surviving family members.
