Auto Accidents Attorneys

in Houston, Texas

Since 2000, Texas’ population has skyrocketed, growing approximately 13%. In Houston alone, population has increased 9% since 2000. While explosive population growth is beneficial for businesses, an adverse effect is greater roadway congestion, which naturally leads to an increase in annual automobile accidents.

As anyone who has been involved in an automobile accident can attest, both the immediate aftermath and the period of repairing car damages and seeking medical treatment for injuries is a stressful, nerve-wracking time. If another party’s negligence caused your automobile accident, you need the aid of an experienced automobile accident attorney to ensure you receive full compensation for any vehicle damages or personal injuries you may have sustained.

Financial Compensation after an Automobile Accident

When filing a claim with your insurance company, you are bound to experience additional hardship and stress as their employees attempt to minimize their payout. The automobile accident attorneys at Kennedy Hodges, L.L.P. will aggressively pursue all financial compensation you are entitled to, which may include compensation for:

• Immediate and long-term medical bills, if necessary
• Lost wages
• Car repairs or replacement, if necessary
• Rental car reimbursement for any time your car is in the shop
• Physical pain
• Impairment
• Disfigurement
• Emotional stress and hardship

Obtaining Your Full Financial Compensation

Even if another party’s negligence resulted in an automobile accident, it is essential that you do not act in a manner that can reduce or eliminate financial compensation you otherwise may be entitled to. Actions of this nature include:

• Blurting out an apology or accepting blame immediately after the car accident
• Not accepting medical treatment at the accident site. Often, you may not feel injured due to the adrenaline, but once it subsides, injuries may become apparent. By refusing medical treatment, you provide insurance companies with ammunition
• Signing or giving a recorded statement to your insurance company
• Not cooperating with the police
• Not contacting an experienced, automobile accident attorney

Vital Automobile Accident Tips

If you have been involved in an automobile accident, there are steps you can take that may maximize the financial compensation you may receive, including:

• Talking to potential witnesses and recording their vital information
• Taking photographs of the accident site and personal injuries sustained
• Adhering to all traffic regulations
