Immigration law addresses issues that deeply affect families from around the world. Since a complex array of federal laws governs immigration policies and practices in the United States, it is essential for those facing legal challenges to have the assistance of a knowledgeable immigration attorney.

At our Law Firm, we provide personalized guidance and focused legal representation in a full range of immigration matters, including immigrant and non-immigrant family-based visas, green cards, deportation and removal cases, and deferred actions through the DREAM Act.

Employment-Based Immigration
Some foreign workers are able to obtain permanent residency in the United States, while many others receive temporary visas. While the immigration process is much more technical and more difficult than in other types of immigration cases, an experienced immigration lawyer can help you, a loved one or an employee apply for permanent residency, or for an H-1B visa.

An H-1B visa is typically granted to workers with specialized knowledge and higher education relevant to a particular type of job. If you or a family member has the qualifications for an H-1B and has sponsorship from an employer, our firm can advise you and help you navigate the processes required to secure a visa.

Investment Visas
The United States government awards nonimmigrant visas and permanent resident (green card) status to foreign investors and business owners who can demonstrate significant financial commitment, hire workers, and otherwise contribute to the economy. Our firm can assist you in pursuing investment-based visas such as:

An E-2 visa: An E-2 treaty investor visa is designed for foreign nationals from countries with which the United States has relevant treaties. In order to obtain an E-2 visa, an applicant must meet specific criteria with regard to the size of the investment, nature of the business, and participation in the operations of the business.
An L-1 visa: An L-1A visa, valid for up to seven years, can be obtained for certain executive or managerial transferees within a company doing significant business in the United States. An L1-B visa, valid for up to five years, can be obtained for employees with special knowledge or skills.
Family-Based Immigration
If you are trying to keep your family together or reunite family members, our firm can assist you in obtaining an appropriate family-based visa or green card. We are well versed in all aspects of family-based immigration, including marriage visas and K-1 fiancé/fiancée nonimmigrant visas that can be granted to the fiancé or fiancée of a U.S. citizen.

Green Card Lawyer

A green card, also known as a permanent resident card, is an identification card issued to permanent United States residents by the federal government. A person can obtain a green card through numerous channels, including marriage, employment, lottery, or investment. After five years — or three years in the case of marriage to a U.S. citizen, or four years in the case of asylum-based residency — green card holders can apply for citizenship.

Green cards present great opportunities, but they do have certain limitations. As a green card holder, you are subject to:

Travel limitations — you can travel every year, but you generally cannot stay abroad for more than six months in a calendar year
Criminal provisions — if you are convicted of certain crimes such as violent crimes, drug offenses, or fraud, you can be forced to leave the United States
Civil limitations — such as the inability to vote, obtain a government job, or hold public office
In most cases, green cards cannot be obtained quickly and easily. The help of an experienced immigration attorney can be instrumental in getting and keeping a green card.

Obtaining A Green Card | Protecting Your Green Card Or Visa
At our Law Firm, we advise and represent clients seeking permanent resident status, and we help clients facing problems related to existing green cards, offering a high level of personal service. In addition to providing guidance regarding many other important matters, our immigration lawyers can help you or a family member:

Protect your green card or visa by representing you in removal proceedings, contesting removal, or otherwise defending you and your immigration status
Deal with the immigration implications of being in an abusive relationship or a problematic “green card marriage”
Have had a visa canceled
Can benefit from an exemption or voluntary departure
Green card matters are subject to federal laws and can be difficult emotionally and logistically. We cannot guarantee results, but we have successfully assisted hundreds of clients in resolving important immigration issues.

Premises Liability Attorney
Personal Accident Attorney Explains How to Proceed if You Suffered Injury on Another’s Privately Owned Premises

Were you or someone close to you injured on someone’s property? Whether the land belongs to an individual or a business, you might be eligible to bring legal action for your losses against the proprietor through a type of litigation called “premises liability.”

We all have a duty to others to ensure their well-being by not endangering their welfare through our own actions or negligence. Those who own property have such a legal obligation to various types of people who visit their property for various levels of safety. Those who suffer harm as a result of the proprietor’s carelessness are entitled to submit claims for personal injuries subject to premises liability. For example, injury caused by an amusement park accident, attack by a domestic animal, an elevator or stairwell in addition to a retail store, or security negligence could all serve as a legitimate foundation for premises liability suits. However, not every injury endured on another’s property is a basis for legal action. To provide footing for a valid claim, harm has to have been caused by negligence on the part of the owner in failing to satisfy their obligation to afford the well-being of visitors to their property. If, for example, someone becomes a victim of a violent assault outside of a gas station because the property is poorly lit, then the facility would be responsible through premises liability.

Visitor Categories
The kind of visitor that a proprietor might see on their property dictates the owner’s obligation of care toward an individual. A visitor falls into one of three categories:

Invitee – a person with knowledgeable forethought comes onto the property of their own free will for their own advantage as well as that of the proprietor. Customers of a shop are a common variety of invitees. They gain by satisfying a need or desire met by the store’s available products or services. The proprietor profits through the patronage of invitees and accepting payment for his or her wares.
Licensee – A visitor who is familiar with the nature of the property and deliberately goes there with their own agenda. A person dropping by a friend’s residence to see them is legally considered to be a licensee.
Trespasser – Somebody who visits a property with full awareness and of their own volition that has not been permitted by the proprietor or by lawful authority to enter, such as a vandal.

Obligations Owed to Each Type of Visitor Under the Law
Following are the explicit obligations owed to each category of the visitor by the proprietor. Invitees are legally entitled to responsibility by the owner to be aware of potential hazards and to notify their guests. A grocer, for instance, would have to warn their customers of a floor that was slick from mopping or dropped fruit.

The obligation to caution invited visitors of any present risks. If you should visit a friend at their residence where there are poorly maintained stairs with loose boards, your friend is legally compelled to bring this to your attention.
The obligation to refrain from purposefully causing injury to a visitor. A proprietor, for example, might booby trap their property as a security measure against burglars. Such a device could injure an invited visitor instead.
Owners are obligated to caution licensees about any hazards present on the property as well as to not try to hurt these visitors on purpose. A trespasser, on the other hand, is under the sole legal protection from reckless perils put in place by the owner’s knowledge. Should either classification of visitor lose their footing and suffer injury by falling on freshly refinished tile, they have no legal remedy for these damages.

When the Proprietor Assumes Liability for Injuries.
For someone who has suffered an injury to win a case against the proprietor, a victim has to establish these key points:

1. The state of the owner’s property imparted a hazard beyond reason to visitors.

2. The owner was aware or should have had knowledge that the state of his property presented a threat beyond reason to someone on the premises.

3. The owner should have expected that a visitor would not notice or recognize the hazard or might be unable to guard against it.

4. The owner’s behavior was negligent.

5. The visitor was hurt.

6. The state of the proprietor’s property contributed to harm to the visitor.

One of the hardest factors to establish is that the owner was aware or should have had knowledge of the hazardous situation. There is no need to prove this if it is evident that the hazard was present by the design of the proprietor, employees, or their actions. In this situation, the owner is responsible to practice a reasonable level of concern for the welfare of those legally visiting the premises. Since awareness of a hazard is so hard to establish, a claim of danger purposefully designed by the owner would have a greater chance of success.

When is a Landlord Liable for a Tenant’s Injuries?
Texas state law differentiates between an injury suffered in an area “reserved for common use” and one which takes place in a space leased to the tenant. Those spaces designated for common use refer to corridors, stairwells, and parking lots. Leased spaces such as apartments are not so designated.

A landlord has to ensure that areas reserved for common use are safe within reason. Landlords are legally required to know a certain amount about hazardous conditions that cause injuries. For instance, a plaintiff would have to establish that a rail that fell on a shared porch was not maintained to a reasonable standard to safety. They would also have to prove that the landlord was aware or should have been aware that the rail did not meet this standard.

How about if someone is injured in a privately leased area instead of a designated shared space? If someone suffers injury caused by an unsafe or poorly maintained environment inside a leased space, the landlord could be liable. The landlord is required to inform tenants about any defects on the property they are aware of, especially those which the tenant may not discover in the process of casually inspecting the area. The tenant must be made aware of these potential hazards by the time they move in.

Frequent Types of Claims
These are many of the different kinds of claims that are often filed as premises liabilities:

Slip and fall injuries: dangerous circumstances caused by spilled liquid or other debris on the floor, ripped carpeting, uneven sidewalk or tile, highly polished slick floor surface as well as other causes of slick conditions while failing to display proper signage or provide notification to visitors of stores, clubs, salons, restaurants, etc.

Injury due to fallen elevator car: malfunction or fault in manufacture or upkeep causing an elevator car to drop, defective door, or failure of closing device or sensor.

Injuries on stairs: caused by lack of sturdy handrail, insufficient illumination, obstacles or known hazards on steps, or any other disregard or negligent behavior which might result in a visitor having an accident and causing injury.

Animal attacks: harm by an animal attacking a visitor on the premises, such as a dog on the owner’s property without proper restraint causing injury.

Swimming pool drowning: the proprietor is required to take action to ensure the reasonable safety of their property. It is the owner’s duty to make ample provision to safeguard the lives of those visiting and resuscitate if necessary. If these are not provided, notifications have to be posted. As well as other aspects requiring consideration are if certain safety equipment or a lifeguard is present, the dimensions of the facility, tenants’ ages, descriptive features of the pool, and typical usage of the complex. The owner of a private pool must exercise reasonable care for the presence of minors and maintain protection for uninvited children to prevent them from having access.

Injury resulting from criminal acts: if criminal activity on the premises causes someone else injuries or death. Assault in parking lots or ramps due to negligence or lack of security, inadequate illumination as well as other types of negligent behavior. The reasonable degree of care which must be provided by the owner corresponds to the details surrounding the assault, predictability of such an occurrence, and the history of crime in the neighborhood. Should such assaults or other varieties of criminal activity result in homicide, a wrongful death case may be filed if the property owner can be proved negligent.

Municipal liability – injury accident on state or local government property resulting from negligent behavior.

Injuries suffered in amusement park mishaps – Visitors hurt due to poorly maintained or malfunctioning rides and equipment, also defects, or other negligence at an entertainment venue.

The impact from merchandise falling from a store shelf.

Dram shop liability – a bar or restaurant that serves drinks to a patron past the point of intoxication, whereupon the customer drives and inflicts injury on someone else.

Whether it’s a missing handrail, uneven or slick floor, a door that is improperly secured, inadequate illumination, negligence, poor maintenance, and criminal activity may cause you to be seriously injured or a family member to suffer a lethal accident. If any of these should befall you or someone close to you, then you could be entitled to pursue monetary damages by way of legislation for premises liability. To secure compensation in this type of case, a plaintiff has to establish the existence of a dangerous condition, awareness on the part of the proprietor regarding the hazard, and that this situation caused the injury. In addition, it is the victim’s burden to justify the amount of claimed restitution. Satisfying these conditions can be difficult and you are most probably going to need to secure the help of a skilled lawyer to successfully recover damages in a premises liability suit.

Medical Malpractice

Medical doctors, nurses, and other hospital staff usually provide competent, correct medical care and treatment. Unfortunately, there are times when the care provided falls below the standard of care and a patient suffers devastating injury or death as a result. The injury may leave the patient unable to return to work and facing further medical treatment and bills or their death may leave their family without an important wage earner.

Unfortunately, given the powerful lobbying and media efforts of the insurance industry and medical providers many people have been led to believe that medical malpractice cases simply benefit “greedy trial lawyers”. They forget that the primary beneficiary is the injured person or their family. If the insurance industry had its way, good people who undergo tragic consequences to them or a loved one due to medical errors would be left without an adequate remedy. That is why, despite the efforts of the insurance companies and medical interests, the law provides that victims of medical malpractice are entitled to bring their case to a jury to seek full and fair compensation from those responsible for their injuries. The alternative is to leave permanently injured or disabled people to become a burden on the state and its taxpayers. Medical malpractice cases not only provide critically needed compensation but also serve to encourage hospitals and other providers to improve their treatment and avoid future mistakes.

When we put our trust in a medical professional, clinic, or hospital, we expect them to provide the appropriate level of care required by our medical condition. We certainly do not expect them to allow or make the problem worse or for a new problem to be caused by the medical provider.

Examples of Medical Malpractice include:

Giving a Patient the Wrong Drug and other Medication Errors
Failure to Diagnose a Medical Disease or Condition
Birth Injury
Surgical Errors
Failing to Conduct Necessary Tests
Studies have shown that as many as 100,000 people a year die from medication errors made by medical providers. Deaths from surgical and other negligence add even further to that total. If you feel your condition or that of a family member was created or worsened due to the actions of a medical professional, it is important to speak with our medical malpractice lawyers in Cleveland.

Nursing Home Negligence & Abuse

When loved ones get older, they may need someone to take care of them. While they may not need hospital care, home care may be unaffordable. Moreover, with the pressures and obligations that come with everyday life, it may be difficult for their family to personally give them the care they need. Because of this, a nursing home is often the only option. When a family member is entrusted to a nursing home, the family is putting their faith in the nursing home and the professionals working there. They assume that the home will take good care of their loved ones. While most of the time this is the case, it is not always so, and sometimes elderly individuals in nursing homes are neglected or abused.

Nursing Home Negligence or Other Abuse Can Lead to:

Bedsores
Failure To Diagnose Medical Conditions
Prescription Drug Errors
Dehydration
Falls or Other Injuries
Eating Complications
Poor Hygiene

Unfortunately, nursing home patients may be subjected to negligent care. While this may not be intentional abuse, it is careless, below the standard of care for what is required of the nursing home, and can result in injury or death to the patient. However, other forms of nursing home abuse exist as well and can include physical abuse, mental abuse, and financial abuse. If you feel your loved one has suffered from any type of nursing home abuse, contact a lawyer for advice.

Are you unsure if your loved one is being abused in their nursing home? In many cases, an abused patient may be too afraid to say anything to their family due to threats from staff or just due to the fact they have experienced a great amount of trauma. There are signs to look for. If unexplained rashes, abrasions, bruises, cuts, or other marks start to appear on their body, personal belongings are missing, or there is a sudden change in their emotions, there may be a reason to investigate further. Contact a nursing home negligence lawyer if you suspect your loved one is being abused in a nursing home.

Pedestrian Accidents

People walk for many different reasons. Some people walk to work. Others walk for recreational purposes or to get exercise. Others take young children out for walks or walk their dogs. Unfortunately, a simple walk outside can result in serious injury or death when a negligent driver makes a wrong decision and strikes a pedestrian. Contact a lawyer if you or a loved one were injured by a negligent driver as a pedestrian.

A pedestrian accident can result in:

Disability
Bone Fractures
Disfigurement
Brain Injury
Death

Every year in the United States, motor vehicles kill approximately 6,000 pedestrians. This means that every day 16 people are killed in a pedestrian accident. The number of pedestrian injuries is even more alarming. There are approximately 110,000 pedestrian injuries each year in the United States!

Due to the fact that pedestrians are more vulnerable compared to those in a car, bus, or truck, the results are much more devastating for the pedestrian. Drivers must be aware of pedestrians while they are driving and avoid negligently injuring them. A pedestrian accident lawyer can help if someone close to you was struck by a vehicle and injured or killed.

Premises Accidents

Whether you are at work, on vacation, or just running everyday errands, property owners have certain duties that vary according to the factual circumstances to make sure that your visit is safe and you leave uninjured. When the property owner fails to meet their duty and a serious injury occurs, the property owner may be held accountable and the injured person obtain fair and just compensation for their injuries. It is imperative to contact our premises liability lawyers if you feel a property owner’s negligence was the cause of your injury.

The following are situations that may give rise to a premises liability case:

Lack of Security
Dangerous Property Conditions
Lack of Maintenance
Negligent Staff
Most business owners know about their legal duties and responsible owners take out adequate liability insurance to cover any such injury. Damages may include medical costs, pain and suffering, loss of wages, and permanent injury.

Unfortunately, to try and protect their profits, insurance companies often deny responsibility that the company they insure is responsible for these damages. Sophisticated insurance adjusters try to minimize the amount of compensation a seriously injured person may be lawfully entitled to receive. Contact our Premises Liability Lawyers if you feel your injury should have been prevented by the property owner.

Have you or a loved one been injured on someone else’s property or business premises? Our lawyers can help you determine if you have a claim and then pursue that claim on your behalf! Contact our Premises Liability Lawyers today to schedule a free consultation.

Railroad Accidents

Railroad accidents happen more frequently than people think. These types of accidents can be catastrophic and produce deadly results. railroad accidents can occur for a number of different reasons. Many times, however, it is the fault of someone other than the injured person. If you feel your railroad accident was the fault of another, contact our lawyers.

Throughout the country, including Texas, the most common types of railroad accidents are:

Lack of Security
Dangerous Property Conditions
Lack of Maintenance
Lack of Adequate Inspections

According to 2020 statistical data, Texas ranks as number 1 for railroad collisions in the United States with 186 collisions, 11 deaths, and 67 injuries. Unfortunately, many railroad workers are hurt and killed every year in Texas due to the carelessness of others.

The cause of a railroad accident can be the result of numerous things. In some cases, the railroad company may be at fault. For example, lack of training, failing to properly maintain the train and/or the tracks can result in accidents such as derailments. Finally, failing to have properly working lights, gates, and other warnings at railroad crossings can result in a terrible railroad accident.

Train Accident Attorneys

Did you know that a train accident occurs in the United States every 90 minutes? It is a true and alarming fact. Many of these train accidents are the fault of the railroad and not the motorist.

However, a railroad claims representative will attempt to persuade you into believing a motorist is always at fault without providing the underlying facts such as the train black box which shows the speed of the train and whether the horn was being blown, the employee time reports, and daily track inspection reports. Even if you were provided with this information, you must seek INDEPENDENT legal advice to evaluate the information in a fair and unbiased form. Some of these train accidents result in injuries that range from mild to severe, while others result in severe brain damage or other catastrophic injuries, or death. Letting the railroad get off the hook by not taking them to task when they are at fault will allow the railroad to continue to operate unsafely and lead to other injuries and deaths.

It is well-established law that railroad companies owe a duty of reasonable care to provide for the safety of the public and its employees. Railroads must also comply with state and federal laws, rules, and regulations concerning employee and public safety. Contrary to what the railroad would have you believe (for example, “train accidents are always caused by the motorist” or “the motorist failed to yield” or “the railroad employee caused their own injury”), courts and juries have many times found railroads responsible for causing injuries and death to the public and their employees.

Some of the factors that lead to injuries and deaths at railroad crossings are solely under the railroad’s control. These factors that place the public in danger include failing to install lights and gates at the crossing, failing to remove vegetation and trees that block the view of an oncoming train, overworking train crews, faulty railroad crossing signals, and insufficient employees to properly maintain the track and equipment.

Most crossings in the United States are not protected with flashing lights and gates. Instead, these railroad crossings are protected only by signs and are known as “passive” railroad crossings. Proper warning devices such as lights and gates are readily available and can be easily installed by railroads. Hazardous conditions such as multiple high-speed tracks, view obstructions, a history of multiple accidents, heavy school bus traffic, and hump or high profile crossings exist throughout the country. We believe railroads should be protecting these crossings with lights and gates in order to meet their duty to protect the public and their employees.

Railroads that choose to turn a blind eye to unsafe conditions must be held accountable for the sometimes tragic consequences of their choice. Otherwise, they will continue to disregard their duty to protect the public and their employees.

Train accident statistics reported by the Federal Railroad Administration (“FRA”) include the following:
HIGHWAY RAILROAD CROSSING ACCIDENTS

In one year there were approximately 1,381 reported deaths and injuries at highway-rail railroad crossings;
On average a total of 4 people per day are either killed or injured at highway-rail railroad crossings in this country ;
In one year there were approximately 150,000 public highway-rail railroad crossings in the United States;
In one year only about one out of four (26%) of the 150,000 public highway railroad crossings in the United States were protected by gates.
In one year about 54% of the 150,000 public highway railroad crossings in the United States were protected only with a sign.
A driver is 30 times more likely to die in an accident that involves a railroad train rather than another motor vehicle.

Whether you or a loved one was injured in a railroad crossing injury, derailment, or another type of train accident, or if you lost someone close to you in a railroad accident due to the negligence of another, call our train accident attorneys. We are here to help and answer your questions.

Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys

Every year throughout the United States, many individuals are involved in accidents that result in a spinal cord injury. In fact, annual statistics show that there are approximately 11,000 spinal cord injuries each year in the United States. A spinal cord injury is a severe, life-altering injury that can leave someone physically unable to do things they were once able to do. In many cases, the spinal cord injury results from the negligence of another individual.

The most common cause of spinal cord injury is car accidents. Aside from car accidents, spinal cord injury can also result from:

Slip and Fall
Acts of Violence
Disease
Recreational Activities

Loss of movement (paralysis) over some part of the lower and/or upper body and permanent disability is the usual result of a severe spinal cord injury. Our attorneys are here to help if you or your loved one suffered a spinal cord injury in an accident due to the negligence of another. Even when the spinal cord injury does not result in paralysis, other severe results such as cracked, damaged vertebrae, separated discs, and pinched nerves, can accompany such an injury.

In some cases, a spinal cord injury may seem somewhat trivial, only causing mild pain. However, it is still important to get the necessary medical attention because more severe repercussions may surface later on, resulting in more pain, greater injury, and more costly medical bills. Medical care, nursing costs, tests, equipment, and medications are all some of the things our attorneys can help you get compensation for, as well as pain and suffering. Speak with our attorneys today if a careless person or company caused your spinal cord injury.

Have you or a loved one suffered a spinal cord injury as the result of someone else’s negligence? Our lawyers can help evaluate your claim and obtain critically needed compensation for your injury. Contact our Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys to schedule a free consultation.
