Car and Truck Accident Attorney

Most people are not surprised to hear that car accidents and truck accidents occur on a daily basis. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that every 12 minutes, someone is killed during a car accident in the United States. Due to the fact that both car accidents and truck accidents happen with alarming frequency, it is important that people know what to do following a motor vehicle collision in Houston that's caused by third-party negligence.

After obtaining medical treatment and reporting accidents to law enforcement, the next thing that people should do is consult with a Houston car accident attorney at Joel A. Gordon & Associates.

Houston Truck Accident Injuries

One of the most serious types of accidents that can occur is Houston truck accidents.  After people have been involved in trucking accidents, it is very unlikely that they will leave the accident unscathed.  In fact, it is most likely that they will suffer some sort of injury, whether minor or catastrophic.

It is a well-known fact that trucking accidents lead to serious physical injuries such as brain injuries, neck injuries, head injuries, spinal cord injuries and burn injuries.  People who have suffered catastrophic injuries such as those just mentioned are in for a long road to recovery.  This is due to the fact that catastrophic injuries are very complicated and present a unique set of circumstances for each individual. Additionally, serious injuries and the side effects associated often vary person to person.  For example, one person may suffer a very serious brain injury and develop a life altering medical condition whereas another person may suffer a very minor injury and recover as time passes. Catastrophic injuries are always unpredictable and it is hard to know what complications victims will suffer from or what challenges they will have to face in the years to come.

Victims of car and truck accidents can never predict what is to happen in the future, but they can protect themselves from having to pay expensive medical bills or having to pay for ongoing medical care if their accidents and injuries were caused by third-party negligence. To get a full understanding of your rights as an accident victim, contact Joel A. Gordon & Associates and meet with a Houston car and truck accident attorney.

If you and/or a family member have suffered serious or fatal injuries due to an accident, you and/or the family member may be eligible to file a claim. However, persons seeking to preserve any potential legal claims should contact an attorney promptly because Texas has mandatory time periods ("Statute of Limitations") in which a lawsuit must be filed.
