Cases We Handle
Personal Injury Case Types
We represent injured Texans in a wide range of personal injury matters. If you were hurt due to someone else's negligence, recklessness, or intentional conduct, we want to hear your story.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Car, truck, motorcycle, and commercial vehicle collisions are among the most common causes of serious injury in Texas. We investigate liability, negotiate with insurers, and fight for full compensation including medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Truck & Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Collisions involving 18-wheelers and commercial trucks often cause catastrophic injuries. These cases involve complex federal regulations, multiple liable parties, and aggressive insurance defense teams — we have the expertise to take them on.
Slip, Trip & Fall
Property owners in Texas have a duty to maintain safe premises. When negligent maintenance, inadequate lighting, or hazardous conditions cause a fall, we hold property owners and businesses accountable for the resulting injuries.
Catastrophic Injury
Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and severe burns require lifelong care and fundamentally alter a person's life. We pursue compensation that reflects the true long-term impact of catastrophic injuries.
Wrongful Death
When negligence or recklessness takes a life, surviving family members may be entitled to compensation for funeral costs, lost financial support, and the profound loss of companionship. We handle wrongful death claims with the sensitivity and determination they deserve.
Workplace Injuries
Injuries on the job can leave workers unable to earn a living. Beyond workers' compensation, third-party liability claims may be available when equipment manufacturers, contractors, or property owners contributed to the injury.
Pedestrian & Bicycle Accidents
Pedestrians and cyclists are among the most vulnerable road users. When a negligent driver causes serious injury, we pursue the full compensation needed to cover medical treatment, rehabilitation, and lost income.
Defective Products
Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can be held liable when a defective product causes injury. We handle product liability claims involving defective vehicles, medical devices, consumer goods, and industrial equipment.
Premises Liability
Beyond slip and fall, premises liability covers a wide range of injuries caused by unsafe conditions — including inadequate security, swimming pool accidents, dog bites, and structural failures on commercial or residential property.

Common Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas?
Texas generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Certain exceptions may apply, but acting promptly protects your rights and preserves critical evidence.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident?
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. You can still recover compensation as long as you were not more than 50% at fault — though your award is reduced by your percentage of fault.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?
We work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win your case. There are no upfront costs or hourly fees.
What damages can I recover in a Texas personal injury case?
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, future earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life, among other damages.
Should I accept the insurance company's first settlement offer?
Rarely. Initial offers typically undervalue your claim. Before accepting anything, speak with an attorney who can evaluate the full extent of your damages and negotiate on your behalf.
