Sandoval & James is a proven accident and injury law firm located in Austin, Texas. Our lawyers fight for people who were hurt or injured in all types of motor vehicle accidents, including:
Our firm also represents people injured in slip and fall, injured while at work, injured because of a defective product, and other incidents resulting in serious injuries or death.
Every day, large cargo-laden trucks and other commercial vehicles crisscross the streets and highways of Texas. These massive vehicles and their drivers share the roads with much smaller passenger cars, pickups, minivans, and motorcycles whose drivers and passengers expect truckers to follow the law and operate their rigs safely and responsibly.
Here in Texas, we spend a lot of time behind the wheel – getting to and from work, running errands, taking the kids to school or sports, or embarking on long family road trips. In fact, Americans spend an average of more than 17,600 minutes (almost 300 hours) driving every year, according to the American Automobile Association. All that time on the road means that the chances of being involved in a car wreck at some point in your life are pretty high.
Texans work hard. Whether your job is on a factory floor or construction site, in an office or cubicle, behind a counter or at the wheel, you expect to be compensated fairly for your time, effort, and commitment. If you get hurt on the job, as millions of Americans do every year, you also expect your employer to meet their obligations under the law to help you get back on your feet and back to work.
The death of a family member or other loved one is always difficult for those left behind. Even when the loss is expected after a lengthy illness or comes at the end of a full life, grief and sadness are unavoidable. But when a life is tragically and suddenly cut short because someone acted recklessly or was negligent or when a parent, child, or sibling is taken from a family forever because someone else was careless and irresponsible, the loss hits even harder.
If you are a biker, you know the feeling. The freedom and exhilaration, the wind in your hair, the purr of your motorcycle beneath you, and the open road ahead of you create a unique and powerful combination. But the joy of motorcycle riding comes with a trade-off. Even if you are like most bikers – safe, responsible, and law-abiding – you still face unique dangers every time you ride. While helmets and other protective gear provide critical and often life-saving protection, bikers remain particularly vulnerable to catastrophic injuries caused by other drivers who fail to share the road as they should.
It is a tragic and infuriating tale told way too often. Someone gets behind the wheel after having one drink too many; maybe several drinks too many. He knows driving drunk is illegal. He knows it puts his life and the lives of others at serious risk. Despite all of this, he convinces himself that he is okay and can make it home safely. And then, in an instant, he is proven horribly wrong.
When a car or truck hits a bicycle, it is often a frightening experience for both the driver and the bicyclist. In such accidents, the vehicle typically impacts the body of the cyclist directly. Unfortunately, this almost always leaves the cyclist injured and often severely injured. If you were recently hit by a car or truck while ridding a bicycle and have questions, feel free to contact our office. We are happy to address your questions and concerns, completely free of charge.
We get great reviews because we get great results. It is that simple.
