Attorney in Harris County for Victims of Accidents Caused by Drunk Drivers
As we all know, drunk driving is both against the law and a serious safety concern. A person who has had too much to drink and gets behind the wheel of a car a truck is committing a crime and placing himself and herself in danger. Unfortunately, that drunk driver is placing others at risk well. When a drunk driver causes an accident, innocent victims often suffer severe or even fatal injuries. If you or a member of your family has been injured in an accident caused by someone who was driving while intoxicated, the team at the Law Office of Shane R. Kadlec is ready to help you.
According to recent estimates, more than 10,000 people are killed in alcohol-related crashes in the United States each year—with nearly 1,500 of these fatalities occurring in the state of Texas. Millions of other victims throughout the country suffer non-fatal injuries. At our firm, we know that even a single drunk driving crash is too many, and our attorney is equipped to assist your family in seeking the compensation you need to put your life back together.
Trusted Injury Lawyer Serving Fort Bend County and Waller County
In most cases, a drunk driver is presumed to be liable for any injuries he or she may have caused in an accident. This presumption is based on the fact that the drunk driver broke the law. Unfortunately, the presumption of liability does not necessarily mean it will be easy to collect the damages you deserve. Insurance companies may challenge your doctors’ reports regarding your injuries or claim that you were partially at fault for the accident. In other cases, insurers will do everything they can to delay paying your claim.
