If you’re in an accident driving your personal vehicle, there is a range of consequences, whether you were at fault or not. If you were not at fault, you’ll have to deal with the other driver’s insurance company to pay for the damage to your vehicle, any medical bills, and pain and suffering compensation. If it was your fault, it could be as simple as letting your insurance company handle it, or you could be facing larger consequences, like a civil suit or criminal charges, depending on what happened.

And that’s all just private vehicles and drivers. Imagine the problems that could crop up for a commercial truck driver. That’s why attorneys like Kirkendall Dwyer LLP are there to aid Texas drivers when Houston truck accidents happen.
