Auto Accidents

Dallas-based law firm representing those injured in motor vehicle collisions

When you are on the road, you trust in your driving abilities. But others may not be as confident or capable, and accidents do occur. National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration statistics show that Texas has consistently had more than 3,000 fatal auto accidents each year since 2005. In most of these and the thousands of non-fatal motor vehicle collisions in our state, the root cause is negligence. And when that reckless behavior causes physical harm, injury victims have rights to bring legal action against the liable party.

Juan Hernandez has represented clients young and old in a full range of personal injury lawsuits. Our law firm’s strategy is always to represent the injury victim to the fullest extent of our abilities and fight for the best possible outcome through settlement negotiations or through courtroom litigation.

Most common negligence-based injuries

Car accidents have the potential to cost thousands in property damage and cause serious and sometimes fatal injuries, including:

  • Wrongful death
  • Head, neck and spinal injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Broken bones
  • Serious cuts and lasting scars
  • Burns
  • Internal injuries

The accident is only the beginning

As with many serious vehicle collisions, the accident itself is only the beginning. Victims often have to take time away from work to address physical issues, property damage and alternate means of transportation. The full cost of the accident takes physical and financial tolls as well as valuable time.

As advocates for injury victims, our attorneys fight for the compensation clients need to get back on their feet as soon as possible following an accident. We negotiate with the defendant to reach a full and fair settlement agreement or, if no such agreement can be reached, we litigate in court to obtain the compensation you need to cover your:

  • Hospital and doctor costs
  • Prescriptions
  • Physical therapy
  • Future medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Job retraining
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Loss of quality of life

Depending on your case, Juan Hernandez Law P.C. may also be able to sue for punitive damages — additional payments intended to discourage future negligence on the part of the defendant.
