The Kemmy Difference

We have a saying that goes "When you hire the Kemmy Law Firm, you don't just hire one lawyer, you hire a team of lawyers." Tom Kemmy is an award-winning and board certified personal injury lawyer who has been practicing injury law since 1986. His sons are experienced personal injury lawyers and former prosecutors that represented the State of Texas against murderers, thieves, drug traffickers, and violent criminals. We put our combined experience and knowledge in the pursuit of one goal, to win and obtain maximum justice for our client. 

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Kemmy Law Firm, P.C. has a proven track record of success in a wide range of personal injury lawsuits. Common personal injury claims we handle include: 

  • Car accidents: From sudden fender benders to severe T-bone collisions, we pursue justice and compensation for car crash victims injured by negligent drivers.
  • Catastrophic injuries: Some accidents result in life-altering damages. We represent clients suffering from traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord damage, severe burns, and limb loss. These cases require a lawyer who understands how to calculate the cost of a lifetime of specialized medical care and home modifications.
  • Medical malpractice: When healthcare professionals deviate from the accepted standard of care, the results can be devastating. We handle cases involving surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication mistakes, and birth injuries, navigating the strict procedural requirements of the Texas Medical Liability Act.
  • Oil field accidents: Our attorneys have insight into Texas’s energy sector and help injured workers seek compensation for wrongful injuries due to unsafe conditions and negligence in oil fields.
  • Truck accidents: Our lawyers are familiar with the legal details of truck accident claims. Whether you were injured by an eighteen-wheeler or a commercial truck, we work to hold the liable parties accountable. 
  • Wrongful death: If you have lost a family member due to negligence, we provide the legal support needed during your most difficult hour. We help families pursue claims for funeral expenses, the loss of the deceased’s future income, and the profound loss of companionship and consortium.

Texas Personal Injury Laws

Texas has several important laws that can significantly affect your personal injury claim. Understanding these rules is essential to protecting your rights.

The Statute of Limitations

In Texas, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years from the date of the accident. Missing this deadline typically means losing your right to pursue compensation entirely.

Comparative Negligence

Texas follows the modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation as long as you are less than 51% at fault for the accident. However, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.

Damage Caps

Some personal injury cases—such as medical malpractice claims—have limits on certain types of damages, including non-economic damages.

Insurance Requirements

Texas drivers are required to carry minimum liability coverage. However, many insurers attempt to minimize payouts, which is why hiring a skilled attorney is crucial.

The Legal Process of a Personal Injury Claim

Every case is unique, but most personal injury claims in Texas follow a similar process:

  1. Initial Consultation: We begin with a free case evaluation where we review your accident, injuries, and goals.
  2. Investigation: Our firm gathers evidence such as accident reports, witness statements, photographs, medical records, and expert testimony.
  3. Filing the Claim: We submit your personal injury claim to the at-fault party’s insurance company and handle all communications on your behalf.
  4. Negotiations: Most cases settle without going to trial. We negotiate aggressively to secure the maximum settlement possible.
  5. Filing a Lawsuit (If Necessary): If the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we are fully prepared to take your case to court.
  6. Trial: We present your case before a judge or jury, seeking the compensation you rightfully deserve.

Throughout the process, Kemmy Law Firm, P.C. keeps you updated and ensures you understand every step.

We Know the Stakes Trust Us To Make a Meaningful Difference

All of our clients have families of their own. They are decent, hardworking people, and come to us with complex business issues or because their lives have been changed by a catastrophic injury.

Navigating the Bexar County Legal System

When a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiation, your case may proceed to litigation within the local court system. Knowing the "lay of the land" at the courthouse is a distinct advantage. Your lawsuit will likely be handled at:

  • Bexar County Courthouse: Located in the heart of downtown San Antonio, this historic venue is where civil district courts hear personal injury cases with higher damages.
  • Bexar County Justice Center: Where many administrative filings and pre-trial hearings take place.
  • Local Civil Courts: For claims under $200,000, your case may be heard in one of the two dedicated Civil County Courts-at-Law, which provide a streamlined process for negligence and debt suits.

Local Medical Resources for the Injured

Securing immediate and high-quality medical documentation is the cornerstone of any personal injury claim. San Antonio is home to world-class trauma centers, and we work closely with medical experts to ensure your injuries are fully documented. If you’ve been injured, you may be receiving care at:

  • University Hospital: As the only Level I Trauma Center for both adults and children in South Texas, this is where the most critical injuries are treated.
  • Methodist Hospital & Baptist Medical Center: Centrally located facilities that handle a high volume of emergency surgeries and acute care.
  • Rehabilitation Institute of South San Antonio: We help clients coordinate with specialized facilities for long-term recovery from TBIs and spinal cord injuries.

Neighborhoods We Proudly Serve

You shouldn't have to travel across the city to find an advocate. We represent residents and families throughout the entire San Antonio metro area, including:

  • The Southside: Serving Harlandale, Palm Heights, and the Brooks City Base area.

What to Look for in a Personal Injury Lawyer

Hiring a qualified personal injury lawyer is critical to recovering damages for medical expenses, lost earnings, property damage, and other losses. Many law firms do not prioritize the clients they represent. Here are some key tips to keep in mind when seeking representation:

  • Reputation: Reviews and testimonials from former clients can help you assess a firm’s track record. Kemmy Law Firm, P.C. has many positive results, helping you know that your claim will be a priority. 
  • Avoid firms that promise immediate results: Be careful with firms that offer quick turnarounds or claim settlements within days. These settlements may not fully cover your expenses. 
  • Litigation experience: Insurers often know which firms are prepared to take a case to court. Hiring a skilled trial lawyer helps protect your rights, even if your claim moves toward court. 

At Kemmy Law Firm, P.C., we prepare every claim for trial and have decades of litigation experience, allowing us to advocate for our clients both in and out of court. No matter the details of your injury claim, you can depend on us to protect your rights and pursue fair results as promptly as possible. We have secured millions of dollars for our clients!

    My husband was injured in a workplace accident in 2022. The first law firm he went to looked at his case and turned it down. he had all but decided to give up when he called the Kemmy's.

    Mr. Kemmy comes from good stock and was referred to us by one of the best. And if he's good enough for him to lay his reputation on the line, he's good enough for me.
