Get the Compensation You Deserve for Your Personal Injury

A personal injury can be caused by any sort of accident or incident. Personal injury law (also, known as “tort” law) allows an injured person to collect compensation based on the negligence or wrongful conduct of another person. However, just because someone incurs an injury, the event doesn’t always result in legal liability. We have helped clients get the compensation they deserve for their pain and suffering since 2005 with our aggressive representation.

There are several types of personal injury cases that we represent – all of which are detailed below.

Slips & Falls

Slip and Fall cases are brought to light when someone suffers an injury on someone else’s property in which the property owner may be held liable. Property owners do have legal duty to keep their environment safe and free from hazards. Of course, these exact duties differ depending on the situation and where the injury occurs.

Plant Refinery Injuries

In Texas, with our booming oil and gas industries, plant and refinery injuries are common. Examples of these injuries include chemical burns, inhalation of toxins, broken bones, amputation, and even death. According to the U.S. Environmental Agency, most accidents in plants and refineries are caused by negligence and failure to adhere to proper safety standards.

Medical Malpractice

If a doctor offers care that falls below medical standards, a medical malpractice case might be filed. However, if an undesirable result is achieved from treatment, this doesn’t always make it malpractice. Our experts can help you understand the parameters of this type of case.

Auto Accidents

The most common personal injury cases are auto accidents. When a careless driver causes harm to another person and their vehicle, they can be held liable for damages. Exceptions do exist for some states who are considered “no-fault” states where drivers collect from their own insurers.

18-Wheeler Accidents

An accident involving an 18-wheeler is not the same as a car accident simply because of the strict rules and regulations required by federal law that apply to interstate trucking companies and their drivers. We can help you navigate the complexities of this type of case.

Insurance Claims

Insurance claims generally occur between the insurer and the insured in which the insured is seeking to recover under the insurance policy. Insurance cases tend to boil down to the language of the policy which can sometimes be hard to interpret, in which legal counsel is often sought out.

Wrongful Death

Wrongful death cases are often brought against a defendant who may have caused a death by either negligence or intentional action. Families and friends are typically the ones to file this type of claim on behalf of a loved one who they believe were intentionally killed, involved in a car accident, or in a medical malpractice situation.

Offshore Injuries

Offshore workers are not protected under typical workers compensation laws. However, the Jones Act entitles a certain level of financial relief to those injured while on the job. We specialize in Maritime Law which governs nautical and disputes at sea.
