Texas Personal Injury Lawyers Representing People Injured in Slip and Falls and Car Crashes

Houston Personal Injury Lawyers

There are few things in life as disruptive as being injured. One minute you’re minding your own business, going about your day and the next everything is turned upside down. Suddenly you’re overwhelmed by medical bills, aren’t able to earn a living and on top of that you’ve lost your vehicle. The situation can be made even more stressful if you’re constantly being harassed by insurance company representatives and bill collectors.

What can Houston families who find themselves in these situations do? One option is to call Kanner & Pintaluga. Our personal injury lawyers have made a career out of fighting for people in these types of situations.

We are committed to building cases with detail-oriented investigations. Our lawyers understand the insurance company’s negotiation tactics and aren’t intimidated by their deep pockets or thinly veiled attempts at intimidation.

People in these situations may have difficulties navigating the insurance negotiation and personal injury process on their own. Many car accident injury victims who do attempt to tackle these problems by themselves run the risk of getting a raw deal.

If you want someone in your corner who knows how the system works and will be dedicated to advocating for what’s best for you, the Houston personal injury lawyers at Kanner & Pintaluga are ready to assist.

Auto Accident Injury Attorneys in Houston

Houston is a huge, bustling metro area with lots of cars on the road. In 2019 alone there were more than 600 auto accident fatalities. It’s not just Houston that’s dangerous for drivers and passengers. According to the Texas Department of Transportation (numbers updated as of April 15, 2020), in 2017:

• One person was killed on Texas roads every two hours and 21 minutes
• One person was injured every two minutes and four seconds
• A crash was reported every 59 seconds

Many people involved in Houston accidents were injured because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. It’s completely natural to feel frustrated and overwhelmed by injuries sustained in auto accidents. Those injuries may have resulted in multiple corrective surgeries, long hospital stays and weeks or months out of work.

The Houston car crash lawyers at Kanner & Pintaluga are familiar with all the insurance company’s tactics. We are not afraid to aggressively negotiate with big-shot insurance company lawyers and won’t hesitate to take a car crash case to court if that’s what’s in the best interest of our clients.

In order to win a premises liability or slip and fall case, a plaintiff needs to be able to prove:

• The defendant had a duty to the injured person (they were on the property legally and owed a legal duty of care)
• The defendant failed to uphold that duty (they knew about a hazard but failed to address it in a timely fashion or warn people on the property)
• The plaintiff suffered an injury as a result of that failure

The catch here is often in the knowing of the danger. For example, if a shopper slips and falls in a puddle they just created in a grocery store, the grocery store might not be liable. In that scenario the hazard was created by the person who was injured, and the grocery store owners and staff may not have had adequate time to recognize the hazard and address it.

There are, however, many legitimate Houston premises liability injuries:

• Tenants in rental properties are frequently injured due to hazards their landlord knew about
• Guests at private homes can be injured in Houston pools that aren’t properly maintained
• People trip on faulty flooring or stairs in apartment buildings
• Shoppers slip and fall due to spills in grocery store aisles
