We Handle All Types of Car Accident Cases in Houston
Car accidents happen every day across Houston—from I-45 and the 610 Loop to FM roads in outlying suburbs. Some crashes cause only minor vehicle damage. Others leave victims with permanent injuries or grieving the loss of a loved one. No matter the severity, your case matters.
At Bradshaw Law, we handle a wide range of car accident cases and understand the unique legal and medical challenges that come with each type. Our areas of focus include, but are not limited to:
Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end crashes are some of the most common types of auto accidents in Houston. They often happen at red lights, intersections, and in stop-and-go traffic. While some rear-end collisions cause nothing more than a fender bender, others lead to serious injuries like whiplash, concussions, or spinal disc injuries. We work to prove the at-fault driver was tailgating, distracted, or otherwise negligent, and we’ll fight to get you compensated.
T-Bone (Side-Impact) Crashes
T-bone crashes typically occur at intersections when one driver runs a red light or fails to yield. These side-impact collisions can be deadly, especially when the impact is on the driver or passenger side. Victims often suffer broken bones, internal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries. We gather witness statements, traffic camera footage, and expert testimony to prove liability and maximize your recovery.
Head-On Collisions
Head-on crashes are among the most violent and fatal types of car accidents. They usually result from wrong-way driving, fatigue, impairment, or distracted driving. The force of impact can leave survivors with catastrophic injuries, including paralysis, amputations, or severe head trauma. We discover details other law firms miss when investigating these high-stakes cases.
Drunk Driving Accidents
Despite decades of awareness campaigns, drunk driving remains a major problem in Texas. When intoxicated drivers get behind the wheel, they put every other driver, passenger, and pedestrian at risk. In 2023, an average of 65 car accidents each day were caused by impaired driving, taking the lives of about 89 Texans each month. We help victims and their families pursue maximum compensation from drunk drivers and their insurers.
Hit-and-Run Cases
In a hit-and-run crash, the at-fault driver flees the scene—leaving the victim to deal with the damage alone. These cases are especially difficult, as they often require coordination with law enforcement and uninsured motorist (UM) claims through your own policy. We handle all aspects of the investigation, including locating the driver if possible, and work to ensure you aren’t left footing the bill.
Rollover Accidents
Rollovers are particularly dangerous and often occur in SUV, truck, or high-center-of-gravity vehicle crashes. They can result from sudden swerving, tire blowouts, or collisions with medians and guardrails. Victims often suffer spinal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and severe lacerations. Our law firm digs into all possible causes of crashes like these—including vehicle defects or road design issues—and we fight for full accountability.
Multi-Vehicle Pileups
Chain-reaction crashes can involve three, four, or even a dozen vehicles—especially on busy freeways like I-10 or I-69. Determining fault in a multi-vehicle pileup is complex because there are so many moving parts to a case. As such, a crash involving multiple vehicles often requires expert accident reconstruction. Our team analyzes black box data, traffic camera footage, evidence at the scene, and police reports to pinpoint liability and pursue claims from all responsible parties.
Distracted Driving Crashes
Texting while driving, eating behind the wheel, and even adjusting the GPS are forms of distracted driving. These behaviors are among the top causes of crashes in Houston. Even if the driver denies being distracted, we may be able to uncover phone records, dash cam footage, or witness accounts that support your case.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Claims
Unfortunately, not every driver on Houston roads carries the insurance they’re supposed to. If you’re hit by someone with no insurance—or not enough to cover your losses—you may still be able to file a claim under your own UM/UIM coverage. We help you navigate these claims, which can be deceptively complex, especially when dealing with your own insurance provider.
Fatal Car Accidents and Wrongful Death
When a loved one is killed in a car crash, no amount of money can replace what you’ve lost—but a wrongful death claim can help ease the financial burden and hold the responsible party accountable. We handle fatal car accident cases with sensitivity, urgency, and an aggressive pursuit of justice. This includes seeking compensation for medical bills, funeral costs, lost income, and the emotional loss your family has suffered.
Common Injuries in Car Accidents
Injuries from car accidents can vary widely depending on the force and nature of the collision. We routinely represent clients with:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Broken bones and fractures
- Neck and spinal cord injuries
- Whiplash and soft tissue damage
- Internal bleeding
- Burn injuries
- Psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety, depression)
Even a “minor” accident can have a major impact on your health, your career, and your future.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents
What if the other driver didn’t have insurance?
If the at-fault driver was uninsured or underinsured, we may still be able to recover compensation. We’ll file a claim through your own insurance policy (UIM coverage) or explore third-party liability.
What if the insurance company is pressuring me to settle?
If an insurance company is pushing you to accept a quick settlement, call our law firm first. Early offers are usually lowball attempts to get you to waive your rights before you know the full extent of your injuries or losses. Once you accept, you can’t go back and ask for more, even if your medical bills skyrocket, or you’re unable to return to work. Before signing anything, talk to a Houston car accident lawyer who can assess whether the offer is fair and negotiate on your behalf. You deserve compensation that covers your current and future needs—not just a quick payout that protects the insurer’s bottom line.
What if I was partially at fault for the crash?
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule.You can still recover compensation if you were less than 51% at fault—but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. We’ll fight to keep that percentage as low as possible.
Still have questions? Call (409) 220-8000. We’ll walk you through your options—no pressure, no fees unless we win.
