Automobile Accidents
Automobile accidents are the leading cause of injury and death in the United States. Americans collectively drive nearly three trillion miles annually, and millions of people are injured or killed on our roads each year. According to NHTSA data, in a single year more than three million people were injured in motor vehicle accidents, over 41,000 died, 40 percent of fatalities were alcohol-related, and thousands of children and young drivers were involved in fatal crashes. Improper seat belt use accounted for 63 percent of fatalities. If you have been injured in a car accident caused by another driver’s negligence, our attorneys are ready to fight for the compensation you deserve.
Motorcycle Accidents
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, a motorcyclist is 16 times more likely to die in an accident than a motor vehicle occupant and three times more likely to be injured. Over half of all motorcycles involved in fatal crashes collided with another vehicle in transit. Statistics show that 60 percent of motorcycle fatalities occur at night, nearly half of all operators in fatal crashes exceeded the speed limit, and approximately 80 percent of all motorcycle accidents result in injury or death. Motorcycle accident victims face unique challenges in the legal process, and our attorneys know how to build strong claims on their behalf.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful death occurs when a person’s death is caused by another party’s negligence. Claims can be filed against individuals, companies, or other entities and may arise from accidents, criminal acts, workplace incidents, or professional negligence. To recover damages, you must prove that the other party was negligent and that their negligence caused the death. Recoverable damages can include reimbursement for medical expenses, loss of future income, property damage, loss of future services provided by the deceased, loss of consortium for a surviving spouse, and punitive damages when the negligence rises to the level of criminal conduct. Our wrongful death attorneys handle these cases with the sensitivity and skill they demand.
Bicycle Accidents
Bicycling has grown significantly in popularity across the United States over the past decade, and many cities have responded by constructing dedicated bike lanes and trails. Despite this progress, many automobile drivers still fail to respect cyclists’ right to share the road, and young riders in particular are often unaware of how to safely navigate traffic. When a negligent driver injures a cyclist, our personal injury attorneys know how to pursue full compensation for the victim’s injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Cell Phone Distraction Causing Accidents
Distracted driving caused by cell phone use is one of the most serious and growing dangers on American roads. The number of mobile phone users worldwide reached 5.48 billion in October 2022, and with that volume of users it is not surprising that cell phone distraction causes thousands of accidents each year. The NHTSA estimates that 85 percent of cell phone customers talk on the phone while driving, contributing to approximately 2,600 deaths and 330,000 injuries annually in cell phone-related crashes. If a distracted driver injured you, our attorneys will build a strong case for accountability and compensation.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Premises liability cases — commonly known as slip and fall claims — arise when a negligent property owner’s failure to maintain safe conditions causes injury to a visitor. These accidents most often occur in commercial locations such as grocery stores, gas stations, and office buildings, but they can also happen on private property. To win a slip and fall claim, you must show that the owner knew about the dangerous condition or should have known about it through reasonable inspection. Property owners frequently remove or repair hazards immediately after an incident, destroying evidence — which makes swift legal action critical.
Pedestrian Accidents
Over 110,000 pedestrians are injured and nearly 60,000 are killed in the United States each year. School-age children and the elderly are the most vulnerable populations. Common causes of driver negligence in pedestrian accidents include inattentive driving, failure to observe speed limits, failure to yield at marked crosswalks, negligent turns at intersections, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. When a driver’s negligence costs a pedestrian their health or their life, our attorneys pursue full accountability and maximum compensation.
Dog Bite Victims
More than 330,000 people receive emergency room treatment each year after dog attacks across the United States. In Texas, a dog owner can be held liable when their animal attacks and injures another person. After an attack, identify the dog and its owner and get contact information, gather witness information if possible, photograph all wounds and damaged clothing, and document the scene. Beyond physical injuries, the emotional trauma of a dog attack is also compensable. Our attorneys fight to recover the full value of every loss a dog bite victim has suffered.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Injuries to the spine, back, or neck can be excruciating and life-altering, often affecting victims for the rest of their lives. The most common causes include car accidents, violent attacks, slips and falls, sports-related incidents, and improper lifting. Resulting injuries range from herniated discs and compression fractures to whiplash and, in the most severe cases, permanent paralysis. Our attorneys work with medical experts to accurately document spinal injuries and pursue the full lifetime compensation these cases require.
Boating Accidents
Boating, jet skiing, water skiing, and other water sports are popular throughout Texas and carry unique risks of injury and wrongful death. Collisions with other watercraft are the most common cause of serious injury or death, but slip and falls, reckless operation, drunk driving on the water, mechanical failures, and inexperienced operators also contribute to boating accidents. Boat owners and operators have a legal duty to exercise the highest degree of care to prevent harm to others. Our personal injury attorneys handle the complex legal and technical issues that arise in boating accident cases and fight to hold negligent operators fully accountable.
