Drunk Driving
Statistics on drunk driving accidents are staggering; there were almost 10,000 deaths in the USA due to drunk driving. In a recent year – a fatal accident every 51 minutes.
A car accident is frightening, even when very little damage has taken place. When a serious injury has occurred, the injured person and his or her family are thrown into a tragic situation. The focus is naturally upon the health and recovery of the victim. It is important to engage the services of a highly qualified Houston personal injury attorney as early as possible after the accident. It may be difficult to consider the legal issues related to the accident, but in fact, this is of great importance with regard to the costs of medical care, loss of income from work, and pain and suffering, among other damages.

Distracted driving can take on many forms, including texting, eating, putting on makeup, talking with passengers, and simply failing to put attention on the road ahead.
It may seem obvious to you that you the other driver is clearly at fault for the accident, but you may need more than your word to persuade the insurance companies.
At Mukerji Law Firm, we have gained a reputation throughout the Houston area for our legal skills, both in negotiating fair settlements and in litigating difficult injury cases. Our objective is to help our injured clients to recover the maximum possible in compensatory damages, based upon the degree of the injuries sustained, and the long-term impact on the life of the victim. Some injuries are so serious that there is little or no hope of returning to the healthy condition enjoyed prior to the collision. Cases involving broken bones, spinal cord injuries, facial injuries, burns, or traumatic brain injury could leave a person disabled, or facing a long period of medical care and treatment, possibly for the remaining years of life. The negligent driver who is responsible for the accident must be held accountable. We are skilled trial lawyers, and can evaluate your case to help you understand what to expect with regard to compensation, as well as the estimated length of time to get the matter resolved.
Most car accident injury claims are settled, and will not require a trial. There are cases in which it is necessary to take the injury case to civil court for resolution if the insurance company refuses to make a fair offer. We do not compromise with the health and future of our clients. If another party caused your injuries through negligent driving conduct, whether texting, speeding, drunk driving, distracted driving or reckless driving, that person must be forced to pay all of the losses you have suffered. We also represent the close family in wrongful death claims. Call our firm for more information about our services. We are committed to every individual we serve, on a personal basis.
