Every year, thousands of Houstonians are injured in car accidents caused by careless, reckless, or negligent drivers. Beyond the damage to your vehicle, these accidents can upend your health, finances, and future. The insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers working against you from the start — you deserve a Board-Certified trial lawyer working for you.
At McAlpine Law, we take an aggressive, detail-driven approach to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. From the moment you call us, we handle the investigation, evidence collection, and negotiations so you can focus on healing.
Why Choose McAlpine Law for Your Car Accident Claim?
Board-Certified Trial Lawyer
Fewer than 2% of Texas attorneys earn Board Certification in Personal Injury Trial Law. This distinction means Kiernan McAlpine has proven skill, extensive trial experience, and a record of exceptional results in high-stakes cases.
Proven Results
We’ve secured multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements for accident victims, holding negligent drivers and their insurers accountable. These results aren’t luck — they’re the product of preparation, strategy, and relentless advocacy.
Trial-Ready from Day One
Insurance companies know which lawyers will take a case all the way to court. By building your case as if it will go to trial from the beginning, we put pressure on insurers to offer fair settlements instead of lowballing your claim.
No Fee Unless We Win
You owe us nothing upfront. Our work is entirely contingency-based, meaning our payment comes as a percentage of the recovery we obtain for you. If we don’t win, you don’t pay.
Personalized Attention
At McAlpine Law, you’re never just another case file. You have direct access to your attorney, regular updates on your case, and a dedicated legal team that knows your situation inside and out.
Common Causes of Car Accidents in Houston
Distracted Driving
Texting, checking GPS, using in-car screens, or even eating behind the wheel can divert a driver’s attention long enough to cause a devastating crash.
Speeding and Reckless Driving
Drivers who ignore speed limits, tailgate, weave through traffic, or run red lights put everyone on the road at risk.
Drunk or Drug-Impaired Driving
Alcohol and drugs impair reaction time, judgment, and coordination — all of which are critical to safe driving.
Failure to Yield or Obey Traffic Laws
Ignoring stop signs, red lights, or right-of-way rules often leads to intersection collisions, one of the most dangerous types of crashes.
Dangerous Road Conditions & Vehicle Defects
Poorly maintained roads, inadequate signage, or defective brakes and tires can contribute to serious accidents. In these cases, liability may extend beyond the other driver.
Damages We Fight to Recover
Our mission is to pursue every category of compensation available under Texas law, which may include:
- Medical Expenses — Hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, medications, and future treatment needs.
- Lost Wages & Loss of Earning Capacity — Income you’ve missed during recovery and the impact on your ability to work long-term.
- Pain & Suffering — Compensation for physical pain, chronic discomfort, and reduced quality of life.
- Emotional Distress — Anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other mental health challenges caused by the crash.
- Property Damage — Repairs or replacement of your vehicle and other damaged belongings.
- Punitive Damages — Additional damages in cases involving extreme recklessness or intentional misconduct.
How We Handle Your Case
- Free Case Evaluation — We assess the details of your accident and explain your legal options.

- Aggressive Negotiation — We demand a fair settlement from the insurer, backed by evidence and expert valuation of your losses.
