A Galveston Personal Injury Attorney will Help You if You've Been Hurt in a Texas Car Wreck

Most Houston car accidents are caused by a driver's negligence.  Some common examples of negligence include:

• Speeding: individual drivers decide whether or not to obey the stated speed limit. Police departments do not consistently enforce the speed limit, nor can they catch every incidence of speeding. People who drive over the stated speed limit often end up causing accidents that result in significant injuries;
• Distracted driving: anything that takes a driver's attention away from driving with reasonable care can be a distraction. Common distractions include talking or texting on cell phones, arguing with passengers, and being drowsy behind the wheel;
• Drunk driving: it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol content above 0.08%. Drunk driving accidents can cause significant and fatal injuries; and
• Dangerous lane changes: swerving in and out of traffic or changing lanes without looking can cause serious accidents.

If a driver exercises a reasonable degree of care then these common reasons for auto accidents are often avoided.  Tony Denena and Chad Points are committed to helping victims recover the damages for injuries sustained due to someone else's negligence.  They are experienced Galveston auto accident lawyers who have recovered damages for clients hurt by all of the common reasons for Texas car wrecks described above and they are ready to fight for your recovery.
