We Consistently Work with Insurance Companies
We are a family-run law firm with more than 50 years of combined experience. Though we are experienced litigators, a majority of personal injury and wrongful death claims are resolved through insurance settlements.
We communicate with insurance companies, both big and small, on a weekly—if not, daily—basis. We know what insurance companies can and can’t do. We hold them accountable under the law and their insurance policies.
-
We Have Years of Trial Experience
Most cases settle, but that doesn’t mean you can or should avoid the court system. Many families benefit from filing a wrongful death lawsuit after enduring a car wreck death.
The discovery phase allows us to demand additional information and evidence, which we can use to strengthen your compensation claim. Because going to court might be important, you want to work with a fatal car accident lawyer who has years of trial experience.

We Are a Compassionate Family FirmYou should work with a lawyer you trust. At Kemmy Law Firm, we prioritize family. It’s why we enjoy working together every single day. We also believe in treating our clients like family. You’ll never feel like just another case file at a big law firm. We are available to our clients and ensure each case receives our time and attention.
-
We Maximize Compensation
Insurers prefer when families tackle the claim process on their own because then they have the advantage. Insurers know the auto insurance policy, Texas car accident injury law, and Texas insurance law backward and forward. They also know their internal processes and have tactics to limit compensation or deny your claim.
When you work with a us, you take away that advantage. You put yourself on equal footing with the insurance company and have more leverage to negotiate a full and fair settlement. At Kemmy Law Firm, our knowledge, experience, and compassion get results. We over won more than $50 million in settlements and verdicts in the past two years. Take a look at some of our results.
