Legal Help After Motor Vehicle Accidents

Motor vehicle accidents are among the most common causes of serious injuries in Texas. There are multiple heavily-traveled routes going through Grand Prairie, including Interstate 30 and Highway 161, and high-speed collisions or other types of accidents can take place due to the negligence of drivers or other parties. We provide representation for people who have been harmed in a wide range of auto accidents, including:

• Car Accidents: Issues such as distracted driving, drunk driving, or traffic violations can cause dangerous collisions. Whether a car wreck involves a minor collision or a high-speed impact, it can result in long-term injuries and other types of damages.
• Truck Accidents: Crashes involving 18-wheelers or other commercial vehicles often cause devastating injuries. Attorney Andrews understands the unique laws and regulations that apply to commercial transportation, and he works to hold negligent trucking companies accountable for the damages victims have suffered.
• Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable in crashes due to their lack of physical protection. We represent injured motorcycle riders who have suffered harm due to the negligence of other drivers.
• Pedestrian Accidents: When drivers fail to observe crosswalks or disregard right-of-way laws, they may strike pedestrians and cause devastating injuries.

Understanding Catastrophic Injuries and Their Impact

Catastrophic injuries can fundamentally alter the lives of victims and their families. These injuries typically require extensive medical treatment, ongoing care, and adjustments to nearly every aspect of a victim's daily life. Jerry D. Andrews, P.C. represents clients who have experienced a variety of life-changing injuries, such as:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries: These injuries can cause cognitive deficits, memory loss, speech impairments, emotional changes, and many other difficulties. Some victims may require lifelong care, or they may experience disabilities that prevent them from returning to their previous occupations.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the nerves in the spinal cord may result in paralysis, chronic pain, loss of mobility, or other serious and ongoing effects. Victims may need assistive technology, physical therapy, and home modifications.
• Severe Burns: Fires or explosions in car accidents or other situations can lead to burns that may cause permanent disfigurement, infections, and chronic pain.
• Amputations: The loss of a limb will dramatically impact a person's mobility. It may limit their opportunities for employment and affect their overall quality of life. Long-term rehabilitation, prosthetics, and other forms of ongoing treatment may be needed.
