Accidents involving pedestrians can cause serious bodily injury, large medical bills, and even death of loved ones. There are a number of common contributing factors involved in pedestrian accidents.

Common injuries suffered include, but are not limited to :fractured bones, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries.

When cars collide with pedestrians, there is high potential for serious injury. Pedestrian/motor vehicle accidents are a serious problem throughout the world. The United States has a particular problem with pedestrian deaths and injuries. About 5,000 pedestrians are killed and another 64,000 are injured in motor vehicle accidents every year in this country.

The following represents pedestrian accident statistics for the United States according to the National Highway Traffic Association and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

• Pedestrian fatalities account for 11 percent of motor vehicle fatalities.
• Over 180,000 pedestrians have been killed in motor vehicle accidents between 1975 and 2005.

Through experience, we have developed a thorough understanding of the Federal and State laws governing the trucking industry. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations place substantial restrictions on all aspects of trucking, from the hours drivers are allowed to operate their trucks, to the mandatory documentation concerning all aspects of each driver's trip. This documentation can be valuable to show violations of the hours of service rules.

It is critical to hire a competent

 Texas Trucking Attorney as soon as possible following a trucking wreck. The trucking companies and their lawyers will oftentimes be at the scene of an accident within hours of the wreck. It is essential that the victim or their family also obtain counsel in order to preserve evidence that would not be ordinarily preserved unless the trucking company received proper notification from the victim's attorney.

If you have been injured document all of your losses. These losses can include your medical bills, reasonable transportation costs related to the injuries, future medical treatment, lost wages, future loss of earnings, the effect on your family, and the effect on your life.

Within the context of insurance claims, the term “bad faith” is often used by individuals and attorneys to refer generally to almost any improper act or omission alleged to have been committed by the insurance company relating to the processing, adjustment or settlement practices of the insurer.

While coverage disputes often arise regarding the application of a specific policy provision, an insurance company has a duty to act in good faith when making a coverage decision. If your claim was wrongfully denied, it is important that you consult with a qualified and experienced Texas insurance attorney to assess and determine whether a reasonable basis for denial existed under the insurance policy.

If your insurance company has misrepresented the coverage available under the insurance policy or otherwise unreasonably delayed, denied or underpaid your insurance claim, you may have a valid claim involving bad faith allegations against your insurance company, which may entitle you or your business to extra-contractual damages beyond the actual damages covered by the insurance policy.

Combating Insurer Bad Faith

While some insurance claims are fully paid in a timely manner, other people’s claims languish for months or even years without resolution. Unfortunately, many policyholders find themselves in the position of fighting a large insurance company alone while the insurer employs various methods aimed at delaying coverage decisions or intentionally confusing the relevant issues of a particular claim. When this happens, an aggressive and knowledgeable Texas insurance attorney can help you combat your insurance company as well as uncover evidence supporting allegations demonstrating the insurance company’s failure to conduct a reasonable and independent investigation. 

Our practice areas for bad faith insurance litigation include:

• Coverage Disputes
• Deceptive Trade Practice Violations
• Insurance Code Violations   

Failure To Investigate Claims

To avoid liability of valid claims, insurance companies may rely on biased experts retained by the insurance company to provide analysis and opinions which relate directly to the question of coverage. Failure by the insurance company’s expert to conduct an independent investigation into the cause of loss will undoubtedly hinder the policyholder’s ability to obtain money owed under the policy. These insurance company experts often have a long history of providing reports to insurance companies which are then relied upon by the carrier to communicate its denial of the insured’s claim. If the insurance company’s reliance on these expert reports is not reasonable, you may be entitled to obtain damages due to bad faith on behalf of the insurance company.

Premises liability related accidents can occur at restaurants, supermarkets, ballparks, large sports arenas and sundry other places. Inside buildings, dangerous conditions such as lack of security or security cameras, torn carpeting, abrupt changes in flooring, poor lighting, narrow or poorly maintained stairs, or a wet floor can cause victims injury. 

The owner or operator of a business has a legal duty to maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition, or at least to warn the public of a dangerous condition that may exist, or that the owner was aware of, or should have been aware of. If this duty is not met, and one is injured on someone else’s property as a result of an owner’s failure to meet proper conditions, then one may have a valid claim against that business owner or operator. Premises liability claims encompass a variety of injuries including but not limited to injuries sustained in elevators, stores, building corridors; injuries sustained outside on private or public land; injuries sustained in resorts; injuries sustained during recreational activities; injuries sustained in swimming pools.

Slips and falls are the most common types of premises injuries, but premises liability lawsuits may also stem from any kind of unsafe or dangerous conditions on the premises, or a defect in construction, or inadequate maintenance of the premises where an injury or accident occurs. Premises liability injuries include injuries sustained from toxic chemical exposure, toxic mold, lead poisoning, defective lighting, failure to warn of hazardous conditions on the property, improperly maintained equipment, dog bites and animal attacks, and the list goes on.

Construction sites are some of the most dangerous places in Texas. Construction workers diligently try to be safe at all times, but the safety challenges of the work itself, actions of others or the location sometimes are just too great and many times lead to construction accidents and injuries that threaten lives, financial futures, and stable homes of the worker.

The causes of construction accidents can vary: slips or trips, falling objects, live electrical wires, explosions, defective equipment, and building collapse. Negligent general contractors, sub-contractors, vendors, and employees can also cause many of these dangers. Construction accidents often cause life-threatening injuries that may require extensive surgery, brain injuries, disfigurement, and other permanent conditions that affect the worker and their family for the rest of their lives.

While workers' compensation covers the employees of the company, worker’s compensation does not extend to non-employees such as contract labor, temporary workers or sub-contractors. Injured construction workers that are not covered by worker’s compensation insurance, have the right to bring a lawsuit against the negligent party that caused the dangerous condition at the work place. The negligent party can include the owner of the property, the general contractor, sub-contractors and equipment manufacturers. These lawsuits can seek money to pay for a wide range of medical services, wage loss, pain, suffering, disfigurement, mental anguish and permanent disabilities.

Due to the extremely complicated nature of construction accidents, including issues like comparative fault, multiple layers of insurance coverage, and other complexities, it is recommended that injured worker consult with an experienced construction injury lawyer as soon as they are hurt to help determine the best course of care and legal action.

Every year, some of the most devastating injuries are caused by products that fail to work properly, or that were designed or manufactured without due care to the end user. These injuries often leave a person with permanent, disabling injuries, large medical bills and many questions as to what rights they have against a giant corporation. 

At Kondos & Kondos, our attorneys have the requisite experience and expertise to answer any questions you may have regarding a potential claim against a manufacturer.

There are a number of steps you can take if you are injured by a defective product that will assist you in making a successful claim against the manufacturer:

1. Keep the product and all the original packaging that came with the product whenever possible. Gather up any pieces of the product you can find to preserve them. DO NOT allow the product to be taken away by anyone whenever possible. If you cannot prevent someone from taking the product, get as much information about the person or agency taking the product, where the product will be taken and what will be done with it.
2. Take photographs and/or video of the product and the injuries it caused. If the product was damaged in some way or a part broke off the product, take photographs of the broken parts.
3. Get the names and addresses of anyone who saw the incident occur.
4. Gather the receipts from the purchase of the product.
5. Contact a qualified attorney with experience in products liability cases.

Because of the issues involved, products liability cases are extremely complex and involve issues of a technical nature. Like a medical malpractice claim, products liability claims require expert testimony to prove that the product was indeed defective at the time it was purchased by the consumer. This testimony is provided by chemical or mechanical engineers, human factors experts or others with the knowledge and experience to make the determination. The necessity of this testimony often results in products liability cases costing tens of thousands of dollars. Because of the cost associated with bringing these types of claims, you should contact an experienced Texas Product Liability Attorney with the experience and knowledge necessary to handle these complex cases.
