Frequently Asked Questions

Houston Car Accident Lawyer

How much should I get in a settlement?

There is no way of determining exactly how much money you will receive before a case is concluded. You may, however, pursue compensation for your medical expenses, the cost of future medical care, lost income, loss of the ability to earn an income, and other expenses related to your accident. You can also pursue damages for your pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life and similar damages. Your most strategic move is to enlist the help of experienced legal counsel with a successful track record. At Kennedy Hodges, LLP, we are members of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and always pursue the maximum compensation available for our clients, whether through negotiation or at trial.

Is there any hope of receiving compensation after a hit and run?

Yes, it is possible to be compensated for a hit and run accident. Your own insurance policy may contain a clause that accounts for this situation and we will review this option and where this is available, fight for the maximum compensation. We can also liaise with police regarding the investigation to determine the identity of the at-fault driver and pursue him or her for the damages you deserve.

What if a faulty auto part on my car contributed to the accident?

If a defective auto part contributed to your accident, you have grounds to sue the manufacturer or seller. Under the law of strict liability, they can be forced to pay you for damages. Even if an auto part did not cause your accident but contributed to the accident and injuries, you could also file a claim for damages. It is vital you have a Houston car accident attorney addressing your case in order to investigate and gather evidence as to the role the defective part played.
