Common Causes of Auto Accidents

Automobile accidents can happen in an instant — but they almost always have a preventable cause. Common causes we handle include:

Distracted driving — texting, phone use, inattention
Driving while impaired or intoxicated
Fatigued or drowsy driving
Speeding or reckless driving
Running red lights or stop signs
Failure to yield right of way
Unsafe lane changes or improper turns
Defective vehicle parts or road conditions

What You Need to Know After an Accident

In Texas and elsewhere, you have the right to recover bodily injury and property damages from the negligent driver.
You will likely bear the burden to prove your injury was caused by the accident — not a pre-existing condition. This requires careful documentation from the start.
You do not want to face the insurance company — whose goal is to pay you as little as possible — without skilled legal representation.
An experienced attorney can guide you through the process of taking the appropriate steps to ensure your case is handled fairly.
There are often bill collectors, healthcare providers, and those asserting liens that a skilled attorney can help you manage.
Potential evidence of the accident and injuries must be protected for use at trial and negotiation — steps need to be taken immediately to ensure it is not lost.

Don't Face the Insurance Company Alone

Insurance companies have one goal: to minimize what they pay you. They have experienced adjusters and legal teams working against your claim from the moment you file. Here's what they will try to do:

Contact you quickly after the accident to get a recorded statement they can use against you
Offer a fast, low settlement before you know the full extent of your injuries
Argue that your injuries were pre-existing or unrelated to the accident
Delay the claims process to pressure you into accepting less
Use your own words against you to reduce or deny your claim

What to Do After an Auto Accident

The steps you take in the hours and days after an accident can significantly impact your case. Here's what matters most:

1

Seek medical attention immediately — even if you feel fine. Some injuries, including whiplash and internal trauma, don't show symptoms right away. A medical record creates the link between the accident and your injuries.

2

Document everything at the scene — photographs of the vehicles, road conditions, traffic signals, skid marks, and any visible injuries. Get the other driver's insurance information and witness contact details.

3

Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company without speaking to an attorney first. Anything you say can be used to minimize your claim.

4

Contact the Law Office of David M. Kennedy as soon as possible. Early legal involvement protects evidence, manages communications with insurers, and positions your case for the best possible outcome.

What Compensation May Be Available

Medical expenses — past and future, including emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment
Lost wages and future loss of earning capacity
Pain and suffering — physical and emotional
Property damage — vehicle repair or replacement
Loss of consortium and impact on family relationships
Wrongful death damages if the accident resulted in the loss of a loved one
Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence such as drunk driving
"

You do not want to face the insurance company — whose goal is to not pay you a dime — without skilled legal representation. We understand that your needs are immediate, and there are steps the Firm can take right away to ensure your rights are protected.
