A serious accident can change your life quickly. You may be dealing with pain, medical appointments, missed work, vehicle repairs, or uncertainty about how long recovery will take. At the same time, you may already be getting calls from insurance companies asking questions you are not ready to answer.
Kane Personal Injury helps injured people in El Paso understand what comes next.
We handle serious personal injury cases involving traffic crashes, unsafe property conditions, catastrophic injuries, and other accidents caused by negligence. Our job is to investigate what happened, identify who may be responsible, document what the injury has cost you, and help you make informed decisions about your claim.
A personal injury case is about more than proving that an accident happened.
Kane looks at why it happened, what evidence is available, how the injuries have affected your life, and what care or financial support you may need going forward.
That may mean gathering accident reports, photographs, witness information, medical records, insurance documents, or other evidence. In more complicated cases, it can also mean working with investigators, medical professionals, or other experts to understand what happened and how the injuries may affect the future.
Kane Personal Injury also helps clients deal with the insurance side of the case. Instead of trying to recover while also responding to adjusters and sorting through paperwork, you can have someone working to keep the legal and financial pieces organized.
The firm takes on a limited number of personal injury cases so each case can receive close attention, and Samuel Kane remains involved in the claims the firm handles.
Traffic injuries are a significant local concern in El Paso. The city’s Vision Zero program was created to reduce roadway deaths and serious injuries involving drivers, passengers, pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and people using public transportation. El Paso also maintains a High Injury Network to identify roads and intersections where serious crashes occur more often.
Kane handles a range of serious traffic accident cases in El Paso:
Even a common car crash can become complicated when drivers disagree about fault, injuries develop over time, or an insurance company questions whether the accident caused the medical problems being claimed. Kane can investigate the accident, review the available evidence, and help document how the injuries have affected your health, work, and daily life.

Crashes involving semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, and other commercial vehicles can require a much broader investigation than an ordinary car accident. The driver may be only one part of the story. Trucking-company records, driver hours, maintenance history, cargo loading, electronic data, and other evidence may help explain why the crash occurred and whether more than one party was responsible.

Motorcyclists have little physical protection when they are struck by a larger vehicle, so even a relatively low-speed collision can cause serious injuries. Head and spinal injuries, fractures, internal injuries, nerve damage, and disfigurement are among the harms that can follow motorcycle crashes. Kane can investigate how the collision happened and address disputes about visibility, right-of-way, speed, or other factors that may become important in the claim.

People walking or riding bicycles are especially vulnerable when a crash involves a motor vehicle. El Paso’s own Vision Zero program has identified pedestrian and bicycle safety as a serious local issue. According to the city, 124 pedestrians were killed in El Paso between 2016 and 2020. Pedestrian and bicycle cases can involve questions about crosswalks, intersections, visibility, driver attention, speed, and roadway design. Kane can investigate the circumstances rather than assuming that the more vulnerable road user must have done something wrong.

Bus accidents can involve private companies, public transportation, school buses, or other operators. These cases may also raise questions about the bus driver, the operator, another vehicle, or the entity responsible for maintaining the bus. When a government entity is involved, additional procedural rules and notice requirements may apply, which can make it especially important to have the case reviewed early.

Not every serious injury happens on the road.
Property owners and businesses may have responsibilities to address dangerous conditions on property they control. Premises liability cases can involve falls, unsafe stairs or walkways, building defects, water or other hazards, swimming-pool accidents, and other dangerous property conditions. The existing El Paso material also recognizes the importance of preserving evidence when an injury occurs on someone else’s property.
These cases often turn on details that can change quickly. A spill may be cleaned up. A broken step may be repaired. Video may be overwritten. Witnesses may become harder to locate.
Kane can investigate the condition that caused the injury, who controlled the property, what the owner or business knew or should have known, and what evidence is still available.
[Learn more about premises liability and slip-and-fall claims.]
Some accidents cause injuries that may affect a person for months, years, or permanently.
Brain and spinal injuries can change memory, concentration, mobility, independence, employment, and family life. The existing Kane material also recognizes that some brain injuries are not obvious immediately and that serious injuries may require long-term treatment, rehabilitation, home care, or time away from work.
When injuries are severe, Kane looks beyond the medical bills that have already arrived. The case may need to account for future treatment, rehabilitation, lost income, reduced earning ability, permanent limitations, and the broader effect the injury has had on the person’s life.

When an accident is fatal, Kane can also help surviving family members understand whether a wrongful death claim may be available.

Kane Personal Injury also handles other serious injury cases in El Paso, including:
Airplane and aviation accidents. Samuel Kane is a licensed commercial pilot with instrument and multi-engine ratings, giving the firm a practical understanding of aviation issues that can matter when investigating a crash or serious in-flight event.

Dog bites and animal attacks. Serious dog attacks can cause puncture wounds, nerve and tendon damage, infection, scarring, and emotional trauma. Texas dog-bite cases can also involve questions about what the owner knew about the dog’s behavior and whether the animal was controlled appropriately.

The minutes and days after an accident can be confusing, especially if you are hurt.
Start with your health. Seek appropriate medical care and follow up if symptoms change or become worse.
When possible, preserve information connected with the accident. That can include photographs, witness contact information, accident reports, medical paperwork, receipts, insurance correspondence, or anything else that may help explain what happened and what followed.
Try not to guess about things you do not know or minimize symptoms simply because you are still trying to understand them.
You also do not have to build the case yourself. Kane can help identify what information matters and what additional evidence may need to be obtained.
The losses in a personal injury case depend on what happened and how seriously the person was hurt.
Depending on the circumstances and Texas law, a claim may involve:
A serious injury claim should look at both what the accident has already cost and what the person may continue to face in the future.
(To see the answer to a specific question, hit the triangle next to it to expand.)
Texas generally gives a person two years to bring a lawsuit for personal injury, although exceptions and shorter procedural deadlines can apply in some situations. Texas law also generally uses a two-year period for wrongful death claims, measured from the date of death.
Because the correct deadline depends on the type of claim and who is involved, it is safer to have the case reviewed well before that deadline approaches.
Being partly responsible does not automatically mean you have no claim.
Texas uses a proportionate-responsibility system, so the effect of shared fault depends on how responsibility is allocated. Kane can review the evidence and explain how the Texas rules apply to your situation.
There may be other insurance coverage available depending on your policy and the circumstances of the accident.
Uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may become important when the person who caused the crash has no liability insurance or does not have enough coverage to address the injuries.
Kane can review the available policies and help determine what coverage may apply.
Possibly. Some injuries become more noticeable in the hours or days after an accident.
What matters is taking symptoms seriously, seeking appropriate medical care, and accurately documenting when the symptoms appeared and how they changed.
A delayed symptom does not automatically mean the accident did not cause the injury.
You may still have a case.
Police reports, witnesses, photographs, surveillance or traffic video, vehicle damage, medical records, business records, and other evidence may help establish what happened.
Kane can investigate the accident even if you were in no condition to do so yourself.
Claims involving government entities can have additional rules and notice requirements that do not apply to ordinary injury cases.
Those deadlines may arise much earlier than the normal personal injury statute of limitations, so it is important to have a potential government-related claim reviewed promptly.

Without the protective covering of a motor vehicle, bicyclists often suffer catastrophic injuries as a result of crashes with other vehicles. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were 1,103 bicyclists killed in traffic crashes in 2024. In New Mexico, 7 people died in bicycle accidents, while more
After an accident, fault is not always as clear as it first appears. Maybe another driver ran a red light, but you were speeding. Maybe you fell because a business failed to address a dangerous condition, but the insurance company says you should have seen it. Maybe everyone agrees someone
ATVs can be a lot of fun, but accidents involving them can become serious very quickly. Rollovers, ejections, and collisions on rural roads, trails, farms, and private property can leave riders with broken bones, head injuries, internal injuries, and other problems that require extensive medical care.
