We can help you recover damages for your accident

A motor vehicle accident has long-term repercussions. You deserve respect and compassion as you deal with your injuries or mourn the loss of your loved one. We do all we can to reduce the stress on you and your family during a difficult time, as we fight for the damages you deserve. We are available to help you with:

-Car accidents Even if you are partially at fault in a car accident, you can be entitled to compensation. In addition to helping you recover your rightful payments, our attorney defends you against claims made by the other drivers and their insurance companies.

-Truck accidents Many commercial truck accidents are caused by a combination of driver error and corporate negligence. Wrecks involving tractor-trailers and other commercial vehicles tend to be catastrophic because of their size and weight.

-Motorcycle accidents At least 471 riders were killed in Texas motorcycle accidents and thousands more were injured in 2011. In addition to a claim against an at-fault driver, an injured motorcyclist may also have valid claims against the manufacturer of a defective helmet or the city for poorly maintained roadways.

-Construction vehicle accidents Maintaining safe construction conditions and a qualified crew -are the responsibility of contractors. You may have a cause of action against the contractor for the injuries you suffered in a construction vehicle accident.

-Distracted driving accidents In 2012, distracted drivers were involved in 90,378 accidents resulting in 453 fatalities and 8,468 serious injuries on Texas roads. These irresponsible motorists should be held accountable for putting your life and safety at risk.

-Bus accidents Their top-heavy design, poor maneuverability, lack of seatbelts and airbags make buses one of the most dangerous vehicles on the road. Add to these factors an unqualified and sleep-deprived driver, and it is easy to understand why 24,000 people were injured in bus accidents nationwide in 2008.

-Train accidents Although trains are a relatively safe form of transportation, railroad accidents often result in severe or fatal injuries. Large corporations are typically liable for injuries suffered by railroad workers, train passengers and drivers, as well as pedestrians at dangerous railroad crossings.

-Uninsured and underinsured motorist claims With approximately four million uninsured drivers in Texas and many more who have insufficient liability limits to cover serious accidents, you are at risk of getting hit by a motorist who cannot pay your damages. However, you may have viable options if you are injured by an uninsured or underinsured motorist.

During our many years of practice, our law firm has recognized the value of taking prompt, decisive steps immediately after a motor vehicle accident. Our attorney advises you on what to do after an accident so you can protect your health and your legal rights.
