Dedicated Advocacy When The Stakes Are Highest
A staggering 274 billion miles or more are driven annually on Texas roadways. These billions of miles traveled also result in more than 250,000 people being injured in Texas annually. It has been estimated that there is a wreck every 59 seconds on Texas roadways.
In addition to liability insurance, all drivers in Texas should carry uninsured/underinsured motorist and personal injury protection, which are two types of coverage drivers are often encouraged to waive by insurance companies.
Why It Matters
Proper insurance coverage can play a significant role in protecting individuals and families after a serious collision.
Motorcycle operators have very little chance of avoiding injury when involved in a wreck on Texas roadways. Due to the construction of a motorcycle, there is very little protection for the operator.
Even a “minor” wreck can result in serious injuries to the driver or a passenger. Even if a car bumps into the back end of a motorcycle, the bike could overturn, resulting in serious and sometimes deadly injuries.

In addition to liability insurance, all motorcyclists in Texas should carry uninsured/underinsured motorist and personal injury protection, which are two types of coverage drivers are often encouraged to waive by insurance companies.
Any type of roadway collision can cause a serious injury. But when you are involved in a wreck with an 18-wheeler, the chances of serious injury are significantly increased.
The sheer size of an 18-wheeler makes it almost impossible for victims of a collision to escape without injury.
Dog bites from attacks can result in life-long injuries and scarring—physically, emotionally, and financially.
When you, your child, or a loved one is attacked by a dog, you expect the physical injuries to take time to heal, but the victim may be unprepared for the emotional toll and possible lifelong fear of dogs.
In Texas, dog owners who negligently control their dogs may be liable even if those dogs have never before bitten a human.
The One Bite Rule is A Myth
Dog owners may still be responsible for injuries caused by negligent control of their animals.
When you send your children to school, camp, or daycare, you expect a safe environment managed by adults who will take measures to protect them.
Unfortunately, a negligent or careless act can result in an injury that may change the life of your child forever.
Kearney Law Firm may be able to help you or your loved one who suffered an injury as a driver, passenger, or pedestrian.
Serious pedestrian injuries often result in extensive medical treatment, lost income, and long-term consequences for victims and their families.
Nothing will ever make up for the loss of a loved one, particularly when that loss could have been prevented.
But wrongful death lawsuits are one way to seek justice. While money can never replace a loved one, a settlement or other recovery may help your family avoid financial jeopardy.
Seeking Accountability And Support
Wrongful death claims can help families pursue justice while addressing the financial challenges that typically follow a tragic loss.
