McAllen Personal Injury Lawyer

Board-Certified Personal Injury Attorney For Victims in McAllen, Texas

Accidents and injuries can have a massive impact on the lives of victims and their loved ones. When a person suffers serious bodily harm, the expenses related to their recovery can add up quickly. They may face large medical bills, and they may struggle to pay these expenses along with other ongoing costs if they cannot work while recovering. In some cases, an injury may result in an ongoing disability that will continue to affect a person for the rest of their life. Fortunately, with legal help from a lawyer who has experience working with injury victims, financial compensation can be collected from the person or parties responsible for an accident, ensuring that a victim and their family can avoid financial difficulties and deal with the personal trauma they have experienced.

Attorney James Kennedy focuses on representing clients who have suffered serious injuries due to the negligence of drivers, product manufacturers, property owners, or others. With over 25 years of experience helping injury victims recover compensation for their damages, he knows what it takes to win.

Motor Vehicle Collisions

The roads in Texas and throughout the United States can be dangerous, and collisions happen regularly, causing drivers, passengers, and others to suffer harm. These include car accidents involving passenger vehicles such as sedans, SUVs, vans, and pickup trucks, as well as truck wrecks involving large commercial vehicles such as 18-wheelers and big rigs. Motorcycle crashes, bicycle accidents, and pedestrian accidents can be especially serious, since people without protection who are struck by other vehicles will be likely to be seriously injured. James Kennedy, P.L.L.C. can assist with these and other accidents, including Uber and Lyft accidents, public transportation accidents, and plane and helicopter accidents.

Whether you were involved in a rear-end collision on the highway or injured in a rideshare accident, our team has the experience needed to ensure that your rights will be protected. We can perform an investigation and analysis to determine who was liable for causing an accident. We will analyze police reports, interview witnesses, gather relevant evidence and medical records, and consult with expert witnesses if necessary. This approach allows us to build strong cases that present compelling arguments showing that you were injured because of the negligence of a driver or another party, ensuring that you can receive the compensation you deserve.

Severe and Catastrophic Injuries

In personal injury cases involving catastrophic injuries such as spinal cord injuries that may result in paralysis, traumatic brain injuries that can cause cognitive issues or emotional disorders, severe burns that may lead to extensive pain and permanent disfigurement, or amputations resulting in lost limbs or digits, the physical and emotional consequences can be overwhelming and life-changing. At James Kennedy, P.L.L.C., we can accurately assess a person's current and future medical needs, including the costs of rehabilitation and long-term care. We will consider how lost income-earning capacity may affect a victim's ability to meet these needs, and we will work tirelessly to recover full and fair compensation to address the lasting effects of severe injuries.

Injuries Caused by Dangerous or Defective Products

Multiple types of products may cause injuries to consumers due to defects or dangerous issues. These may include faulty machinery, defective auto parts, dangerous pharmaceutical products and medications, malfunctioning appliances, or unsafe children's products. Our team can help determine who was responsible for injuries caused by these or other products. With our understanding of product liability laws, we can take steps to hold manufacturers, producers, distributors, or retailers liable for the damages suffered by product users or other victims.

Fatal Injuries

The worst types of accidents involve the death of one or more people. In situations where someone was responsible for causing a person's death, they may be held liable for the harm caused to the victim's surviving family members. In wrongful death cases, we provide compassionate support while fighting relentlessly for justice and accountability. While monetary compensation cannot bring back a lost loved one, we make sure that the parties responsible for these tragic situations are held accountable for the harm they have caused to a family.

Property Owner Liability

When injuries occur on someone else's property due to hazardous conditions, inadequate security, poorly maintained premises, slip-and-fall incidents, dog bites, or any other type of preventable accident, a victim may seek compensation under premises liability laws. Our legal team has successfully represented many people who have suffered injuries caused by unsafe conditions on residential and commercial properties. We understand the complex laws surrounding premises liability claims, and we are committed to making sure negligent property owners are held accountable for injuries and damages caused by unreasonably unsafe conditions.
