Car accidents happen every day throughout Texas, and the result is often a serious or even life-altering injury. If you have been hurt in an accident with a careless driver, our goal is to help you secure the compensation you deserve.

At Kenny Garcia Injury Law, we understand how to deal with insurance companies and other attorneys. We look forward to putting our experience to work to help you achieve the best possible outcome in your case.

Types of Car Accidents

Car accidents happen in several different ways. The type of collision often affects who is responsible and how injuries occur. Some of the most common types include:

  • Rear-End Collisions – These occur when one driver crashes into the back of another vehicle. They often happen in traffic or at stoplights when a driver follows too closely or fails to stop in time.
  • Head-On Collisions – A head-on crash occurs when two vehicles traveling in opposite directions collide. These accidents are among the most dangerous and often cause severe or fatal injuries.
  • T-Bone or Side-Impact Collisions – These crashes usually happen at intersections when one driver fails to yield or runs a red light. One vehicle strikes the side of another, forming a “T” shape.
  • Sideswipe Accidents – A sideswipe happens when two vehicles strike each other when traveling side by side.

The circumstances surrounding these accidents can differ, but we approach every case with the same goal in mind: securing the compensation you deserve.

When Can I Seek Damages?

You can seek damages when another driver’s negligence caused the accident and your injuries. Negligence usually means the other driver failed to act with reasonable care. For example, a driver may have been speeding, texting, running a red light, or driving under the influence. When those actions lead to a crash, the injured person generally has the right to pursue compensation.

Damages are also available when someone suffers measurable losses. These losses often include medical bills, lost income, and the cost of repairing or replacing a damaged vehicle. In many cases, you may also pursue compensation for pain, suffering, and the overall impact the injuries have on daily life.

Timing also matters in these cases. In Texas, you have two years to file suit thanks to a legal deadline called the statute of limitations. If you wait too long to act, your case could be dismissed forever.

Common Car Accident Injuries

Car accidents run the spectrum, from life-altering events to minor injuries. If you have been hurt in a crash, you may be able to recover damages from the party who was at fault. Some of the injuries that often stem from these accidents include:

  • Broken bones
  • Internal bleeding
  • Severe burns
  • Eye injuries
  • Spinal cord damage
  • Traumatic brain injuries
