Bicycle Accidents
Texas Bicycle Accident Lawyer – FREE CONSULTATIONS

People come to Texas from all over the world to enjoy our beautiful scenery and wonderful weather. It’s no wonder people like to get out and bike —yet there are very few dedicated bike paths. Most bicyclists have to risk sharing the road with cars.

For hundreds of Texas bicyclists every year, taking that risk results in serious injury. Vehicles pull out in front of cyclists before the biker has a chance to stop. Cars hit bikers at corners when they fail double-check that they have room to turn. Cars and trucks even run over bicyclists. For more than 60 Texas bike riders each year, a bike ride ends in death.

Don’t let a bicycle accident derail your future. Hire an attorney with the experience and skill needed to get you the fair compensation you deserve. Call our Law Office toll-free for a free initial consultation.

Common bike accident injuries include knee and leg injuries where a car collided with the biker, collarbone and shoulder injuries if the cyclist hit the hood or windshield of a car and brain injuries caused by a cyclist being thrown into the roadway.

WHAT IF THE BIKER WASN’T WEARING A HELMET?
Under Texas law, bicyclists aren’t legally required to wear a helmet. However, if you suffered a head injury and you weren’t wearing a helmet, you could be found “comparatively negligent” for your injuries. That means that you have some degree of fault for the severity of your injury. Your final settlement could be reduced by the amount of fault assigned to you.

WHO WILL PAY THE BILLS?
If the bicyclist also owns a car — or the injured biker was a child and someone in the household owns a car and has insurance — your personal injury protection (PIP) policy on your car insurance is intended to cover your medical bills. If you do not own a car, the PIP coverage of the person who injured you typically covers your injuries.

Hurricane Insurance Claims
Denied Hurricane Insurance Claims in Texas – FREE CONSULTATIONS

The State of Texas has never been a stranger to hurricanes. But these devastating storms have been even more destructive than usual in recent years. Insurance companies have been reluctant to pay even legitimate hurricane claims.

If your insurance company is refusing to pay a claim for property damage, contact an attorney who will aggressively pursue your fair settlement.

For a free consultation at our Law Office, call us today toll-free.

Our firm has a reputation for tenacious, aggressive advocacy on behalf of our clients. We will not settle for anything less than what you deserve.

WHY WON’T INSURANCE COMPANIES PAY?
At best, the reason insurance companies deny legitimate hurricane claims is that it’s an honest mistake. Most often, it’s the result of simple greed. Insurance companies can become excessively concerned with making a profit. Treating policyholders fairly detracts from that goal.

Failure to pay may also constitute a breach of contract. Not only are you entitled to receive your settlement – the judge may award extra damages to punish the insurance company for the unfair delay.

At our Law Office, we handle hurricane claims for any property covered under hurricane insurance. This can include:

Homeowner insurance claims
Commercial buildings and other real estates
Vehicles, cars, and trucks
Industrial equipment
If you were denied a claim, or if you think the insurance company isn’t paying enough, we can help you.

Property owners have the duty to make sure that their property is safe. Whether that means maintaining tight security or just keeping the floor cleared of trip hazards, any injuries caused by property conditions can be grounds for a premises liability lawsuit.

Our attorneys have handled personal injury cases for many years. All clients receive their attorney’s personal cell phone number – and you can call 24 hour a day, 7 days a week.

INJURIES FROM INADEQUATE SECURITY
As the economy has tightened, the owners of apartment complexes, parking garages and other properties have cut back on security as a way to save money. Of course, this is unacceptable – if they needed a security system before, why don’t they need one now?

There’s no real limit to the damage a criminal can do to a victim. Providing inadequate security is a blatant example of landowners putting profits before people.

“SLIP AND FALL” OR “TRIP AND FALL” ACCIDENTS
Restaurants, grocery stores, shopping malls, big-box retailers, motels … all of these places advertise to attract customers in droves. It’s their responsibility to make sure that their stores are safe. Slippery floors, poorly lit stairwells, cluttered hallways and other hazards can endanger their customers’ health and lives.

Rollover Accidents
Rollover Accident Lawyer – FREE CONSULTATIONS

A rollover accident can be the result of a number of situations. For example, a T-bone collision at an intersection can knock a vehicle onto its side. A sideswipe impact that runs a car off the road can cause it to flip. However they occur, rollover accidents can cause some of the most catastrophic injuries of any type of car accident.

If you’ve been injured in a rollover accident, or if a loved one died when a car or light truck rolled over, contact our law office toll-free for a free initial consultation.

THOROUGH INVESTIGATION OF EVERY PERSONAL INJURY CASE
Our attorneys personally ensure that all evidence is gathered and all witnesses are interviewed to determine the cause of the rollover accident and our client’s injuries.

Our determination to ensure our clients get the medical care they need means we never settle for less money than they deserve.

GETTING YOU MAXIMUM COMPENSATION FOR SERIOUS INJURIES
Brain damage and crushing head injuries can result if the roof of the vehicle caves in during a rollover. If a passenger or driver was not wearing a seatbelt, they may be ejected from the vehicle when it rolls, causing broken bones, spinal cord injury, paralysis, or quadriplegia.

We help our injured clients access medical experts who can help them get an accurate diagnosis and the right kind of therapy to reach maximum physical recovery. Some people will never achieve full physical recovery and will need ongoing medical care or help with daily life tasks — if that happens, we will fight to make sure the compensation our clients receive covers those costs today and into the future.

WHAT TO DO (…AND WHAT NOT TO DO) AFTER A WORK INJURY
If you suffer a work injury, there are a few things you can do to improve your chances of receiving the fair settlement you deserve. These include:

DO: Notify Your Employer Immediately!
If you wait a day or two before notifying your employer of the injury, their lawyers may argue later that your injury didn’t actually occur on the job – meaning you won’t get benefits

DO: Go to a doctor ASAP!
If you don’t go to a doctor right away, you might miss the chance to avoid future complications. In addition, the doctor’s report will further prove that your injury occurred at work.

DON’T: Talk to an Insurance Company Representative!
If the insurance company ever wants to talk with you, it’s because they are looking for information that will help them lower the value of your claim. Tell them to talk to your lawyer instead.

DO: Hire an Attorney Right Away!
An attorney is legally obligated to look after your best interests. Hiring an attorney means someone’s on your side.
If you’ve suffered a work injury, we can help. Call our office toll-free to schedule a free consultation.

IMPORTANT DISTINCTIONS IN WRONGFUL DEATH LAW

Medical Negligence: If your loved one died because of medical malpractice, you are only eligible to receive a settlement if you are the spouse or minor child of the deceased.

Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

The mission at our Law Firm is to enforce the rights of elderly people throughout the United States who have been victimized by a nursing home industry that regularly places corporate profit over the safety and health of America’s elderly population. Many of the residents in nursing homes across the country are members of America’s “greatest generation” and deserve respect and dignity in their final years. The survivors of this generation are now dependent upon nursing homes to provide the dignity and quality care they have earned.

Unfortunately, quality care is not always what nursing home residents receive. Due to the growing population in nursing homes and the economic pressure on long-term care facilities to turn a profit, abuse and neglect of our elderly population continue to rise. Nursing home abuse or neglect can be humiliating and disrespectful to a person’s dignity and affect a resident’s physical and emotional health. Sometimes abuse can even lead to wrongful death.

Victims of neglect and abuse in nursing homes are sometimes called “silent victims” but our Law Firm is determined to give elderly victims a voice. We have successfully battled regional and national nursing home corporations on behalf of elderly clients and their families who have been victimized by poor care at nursing homes.

Individuals who reside at long-term care facilities (which include nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and residential care facilities) receive a promise from the facility that they will be provided a safe environment and receive quality care. Nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities generally provide the highest level of care ranging from the basic activities of daily living such as assistance with feeding, bathing, and toileting, to wound care, breathing treatments, and rehabilitation. Implicit in the care nursing homes provide is that residents will be treated in a timely fashion, safe and free from physical and sexual abuse.

All too often, nursing homes fail to live up to their promise resulting in the mistreatment of residents. Mistreatment can be as horrific as physical abuse or sexual abuse, or it can manifest itself through various forms of neglect. State and federal laws make it illegal for nursing homes to neglect residents or create an environment where residents can be neglected or exploited. Unfortunately, those laws often take a back seat to the quest for profit.

If your loved one or family member has been harmed while under the care of a nursing home, our Law Firm can help you understand your legal rights and give advice on how to enforce those rights. Call today for a free initial consultation.

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF NURSING HOME NEGLECT?
There is never an excuse for a loved one or family member to suffer from sub-standard care at a nursing home. Evidence of nursing home negligence or abuse can include:

Untreated bedsores or pressure sores
Sepsis
Unexplained fractures
Malnutrition
Dehydration
Bruises and other injuries
Improper use of restraints
Wandering and elopement
Falls
If you suspect that your loved one has been the victim of abuse or neglect in a long-term care facility, you should take steps to protect the resident. Immediately contact the state agency that investigates claims of elderly abuse and file a detailed report. If necessary, file a complaint with the local police department. At a minimum, confront the nursing home management and demand that changes be made to protect the resident.

If your loved one or family member has experienced one or more of these signs of nursing home abuse or neglect, call our Law Firm for a free initial consultation.

HOW WE CAN HELP
Reports of nursing home abuse and neglect continue to increase each year in part because of the increase of our nation’s elderly population. If you feel that an elderly person has been a victim of abuse or negligence, please do not hesitate to contact our Law Firm for a free consultation. For more information about the various ways nursing home residents are abused or neglected see the sections specifically identified below.

Bed Sores, Pressure Sores, Decubitus Ulcers
Malnutrition and Dehydration
Physical Abuse
Sexual Abuse

Medical Negligence

Our Law Firm has represented clients who have died or been injured as a result of negligent care by doctors, nurses, and hospitals. It has been estimated that between 40,000 and 90,000 people die every year as a result of hospital errors. These errors come in many forms, from misdiagnosing a treatable but subsequently terminal illness to surgical errors such as cutting an artery. Many more experience life-altering injuries when medical providers are negligent.

Medical negligence cases are complex and difficult, and it takes an experienced attorney to offer advice on potential claims. We offer free consultations to potential clients who are considering filing a medical negligence claim. Please contact our offices if you or someone you know has been hurt while under the care of a medical professional.

WHAT IS A MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE CLAIM?
The essence of a medical negligence claim is when a medical institution such as a hospital or medical professional such as a nurse or physician fails to meet the appropriate standard of care and as a result causes injury, illness, or death to the patient.

Generally, successful medical negligence claims have four elements:

The medical provider had a duty to provide the patient with care;
The standard of care that is accepted throughout the medical community was not met, or was breached;
The breach of the standard of care caused injury, illness, or death; and
There are actual, measurable injuries and/or damages to the patient.

WHAT ARE THE TYPE OF INJURIES INVOLVED IN MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE CLAIMS?
Medical negligence is a broad term that represents a wide range of breaches of the standard of care. Here is a list of some areas of medical negligence.

Surgical error causing permanent damage, such as infection, brain injury, paralysis or death
Failure to diagnose cancer or other terminal illnesses
Failure to diagnose a heart attack, stroke, or other time-sensitive sicknesses
Administrating the wrong medication
Failure to properly deliver a baby

WHAT CAN A MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE ATTORNEY DO TO HELP?
Our Law Firm has the experience necessary to handle complex medical negligence claims. Nearly all successful medical negligence cases involve testimony from experts who are called on to render opinions as to whether the doctor, medical professional, or hospital failed to meet the appropriate standards of care in their treatment of the patient. Other issues — such as caps on monetary damages and time limitations for filing claims — also complicate these types of cases.

If you or a family member have been a victim of medical negligence, contact our Law Firm for a free consultation. We will work with you to determine whether you have a case that can be brought to obtain compensation for the losses you have experienced. Contact us toll-free for a free consultation.

QUALITIES OF A GOOD INJURY ATTORNEY

Being knowledgeable is one thing, being diligent is another very different thing. The attorney should not only be smarter than the opponent is but he/she also needs to know how to out-work the opposing lawyer. This involves giving timely responses to issues and diligently hastening the case by examining every material fact and legal issue regarding the suit. You can know of an attorney’s diligence by examining the number of wins he has and attending one of his sessions to see how he argues out his cases.

HOW YOU CAN CHOOSE A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY

Choosing a personal injury attorney can be very challenging when you or one of your loved ones are injured. The roles of this type of lawyer cannot be overemphasized because they are rescuers in times of need even though some people may see them as ambulance chasers. If you need a personal injury attorney, here are some tips that will be beneficial to you.

You can get in touch with the Bar association in your country requesting a referral list of attorneys in your area that are specialized in personal injury. You should visit the association’s website and you will get access to various legal resources as well as information about lawyers serving in your area.

Moreover, you can speak to your relatives and friends for advice on getting a good lawyer. Some of them may have dealt with this type of lawyer before and will be able to give you the necessary information that will assist you in making the right decision. You will be able to know through your friends and relations if an attorney is competent, friendly, and experienced.

You can also request referrals from your present attorney. He will be in the best position to refer you to those who are specialized in personal injury. Lawyers know themselves and if the one you are currently using is not into personal injury, ask him to refer you to someone who is a specialist in this field that will handle your case.

Once you are able to come up with a list of prospective personal injury attorneys, you should book appointments with a few of them. You should have a lengthy discussion with them in order to discover whether they are capable and competent in handling your case. You should also ask for the cost and every other information that will help you in choosing the right attorney.

It is very important to determine whether you will get along with the attorney before taking him on. He should be a good negotiator because the majority of the cases are settled out of court. This will save cost and expedite the process of getting justice. You should also exercise patience and request regular updates. Lawyers are very busy and they can only work as fast as their caseload permits and as cooperative as the other party is. He may need to wait for certain processes before claiming your right for you but you should get regular updates so that you will know that he is working on your case.

A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY ON THE MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION FORM TRAP

Filing an injury claim is not like being charged with a crime. You don’t have to have a lawyer present with you during all the meetings with the insurance adjuster. However, you are absolutely entitled to have a personal injury attorney with you to make sure you’re not being subjected to stalling tactics. The popular trick used by many adjusters involves the medical authorization form. This is something that your personal injury lawyer should review before you sign on the dotted line.

The Medical Authorization Trap

When a claims adjuster requests you sign a medical authorization form, it would seem that is a standard form to fill out. However, your accident injury attorney might have a different opinion. That’s because some of these forms are “open-ended.” This means the adjuster can go on a kind of scavenger hunt looking for your medical records, whether that takes them two weeks or two years. You certainly don’t want to be waiting that long. You won’t have to when your personal injury lawyer can jump in and make sure that form has a deadline.

Your accident injury attorney might also point out that a medical authorization form provided by an adjuster allows them to search through all of your medical records. They should be reviewing the reports that are directly related to the injury for which you are filing your claim. An accident injury attorney will prevent adjusters from digging into your medical history where they don’t belong. Personal Injury Lawsuit Money.

Conditions for Payments

If you balk at signing a medical authorization form, a claims adjuster might state that you won’t get any type of payment unless you sign. An experienced personal injury attorney will know that is not always true, and in fact that the adjuster could be misrepresenting the policy.

Always Consult with Your Personal Injury Attorney

If an insurance adjuster calls you directly at any point in the claims process to ask you a question, your response should always be, “Let me talk to my accident injury attorney first.” The adjuster would prefer if you weren’t working with a lawyer so they can take advantage of your condition. Experienced lawyers with a background in accident/injury understand what you’re going through. Your attorneys should have experience in personal injury law and know all the “tricks of the trade.” Having them work on your case will bring you peace of mind, knowing things are being handled as they should. Call your legal team immediately to set up your consultation before you answer questions or fill out any forms.

The Difficulties Presented by a Brain Injury
A brain injury is usually caused by a sudden, powerful blow to the head, such as striking a steering wheel. Symptoms vary, depending upon the part of the brain that was injured and the severity of the accident.

Accident victims may suffer any of the following:

A mild brain injury or concussion, including temporary confusion and headaches
A moderate brain injury, including nausea, memory loss, and chronic headaches
A traumatic brain injury, including convulsions or seizures, memory loss, headaches, mood swings, personality changes, or the inability to function as before
It is not uncommon for the victim of a brain injury to feel normal in the immediate aftermath of an accident. They may feel only slightly dizzy or fatigued and refuse any medical treatment. However, this can prove to be a major mistake as the symptoms of a brain injury may not fully appear until later. By then it may be too late. It is therefore absolutely imperative that anyone who suffered some form of head injury seek the appropriate medical screening and treatment as soon as possible.

Compensation for Your Losses

Victims may find it difficult to work regular hours or sleep for a few weeks after the accident.

If you suffer from whiplash after your accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your serious neck injury.

Lower Back Injury

If you were injured in a motor vehicle accident, you may have sustained a herniated (bulging) disc, resulting in intense sciatic pain.

Call Our Defective Product Lawyers if You Were Hurt

American consumers come in contact with thousands of products every day. Many of these items help us in our everyday tasks, but if these products are defective, they could pose a safety hazard and a health hazard. If you or one of your loved ones suffered an injury that was caused by a defective product, you should speak to our defective product lawyers about filing a product liability lawsuit.

Sometimes companies issue recalls of defective products. But often these recalls either come after it is too late or not at all. It is in a company’s interest to never admit that there is a defect in their product. They will try to suggest that the victim was not using the product correctly or that there were adequate warnings. Manufacturing companies have a legal team that will try to twist the facts to protect the company. If you have been injured by a defective product, you need a defective product lawyer that will stand up to the company and fight for your rights. Our defective product lawyers will represent you against you the company that made the dangerous product.

Most types of consumer products fall within a legal doctrine called strict liability. Strict liability means that the manufacturer of a product is completely responsible for the defective nature of a product, regardless of whether or not they intended for the item to hurt someone. Strict liability is meant to protect consumers by preventing them from having to prove that the manufacturer was negligent in its design and construction of the product. All the consumer has to show is that the product is from the manufacturer, that is defective, and that the defect caused the consumer’s injury. While this might seem simple, large companies have spent decades perfecting their legal arguments against an unsuspecting consumer. If you have been injured by a defective product, the law is on your side, but you will need our defective product lawyers to help you navigate the complicated Texas product liability law.

Dangerous Prescription Drugs AND Defective Product Lawyers

Defective Cars and Defective Recreational Vehicle Lawyers

Domesticated animals are “animals kept by humans in a tame condition (e.g., dogs, pigs, horses) that may also by custom devote itself to the service of mankind at the time and in the place in which it is kept.

“Wild animals” are animals that live in a natural state and that are not ordinarily tamed or domesticated (e.g. bears, tigers, coyotes).

The plaintiff in negligent handling of an animal case does not have to prove that the animal was vicious or dangerous in a suit for negligent handling of an animal.

The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, a division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, estimates there are 4.5 million dog bites each year in the United States. Over 850,000 of these bites need medical attention. In one year alone, State Farm Insurance reported it paid more than $108 million as a result of nearly 3,800 dog-bite claims. That year, the estimated cost of dog-bite claims to all insurance companies was $489 million.

Child Safety – Dog Bite Attorney
Children are the most frequent victims of dog bites. There are a number of precautions parents can take to promote dog bite safety. Most importantly, teach young children, to be careful around pets.

They should not:

– Hug or approach a dog from behind;
– touches food bowl;
– pull parts of his body;
– stare directly into his eyes; or
– try to kiss him on the face.

Children should always ask permission from a dog’s owner before touching or petting a dog. When doing so, they should always put their hand out first to the dog consistently. Another important shall safety tip is to educate children on what to do if threatened by a dog. Tell them to:

– Remain calm, do not scream;
– Speak firmly;
– Avoid making eye contact with the dog;
– Try to stay still until the dog leaves or back away slowly until the dog is out of sight;
– Do not turn and run away;
– If the child falls to the ground, tell them to crawl into a ball with their hands over their head and neck, protecting their face.

Our children are precious and we need to do whatever is necessary to promote dog bite child safety. We do not have control over whether a dog will attack, but we can arm children with the knowledge of what to do if they ever come face-to-face with a vicious dog.

Dangerous breeds – Dog Bite Attorney
According to the Centers for Disease Control (“CDC”), the most dangerous dog breeds include:

– Pitbulls
– Rottweilers
– German shepherds
– Huskies
– Alaskan Malamutes
– Doberman Pinschers
– Chow Chow
– Great Danes
– Saint Bernards
– Akitas

Many small dog owners ignore the dog behavior because they are smaller think they cannot hurt anyone. The truth is little dogs bite more than big dogs.

Although there is no way to predict when a dangerous dog will bite, we recommend taking the following into consideration:

If a dog has been treated harshly or trained to attack, there may be a tendency to bite a person. A dog owner can turn any dog into a dangerous dog. In most cases, the owner is responsible for the aggression, not the breed and not the dog.

If you leave a child alone with a dog, a dangerous situation can occur. Young children tend to grab onto dogs without understanding how easily they can hurt the animal. Many dogs bite to protect themselves from the pain they feel and to give the child to stop. 95% of all child fatalities occur when a child is left alone with a dog.

Any dog can be a good, loving pet, even if it is considered a dangerous dog and likely to bite. A responsible owner will teach dogs respect by showing the dog love and respect, no matter its breed. You cannot determine, by breed alone, whether or not it is going to attack.

Injuries that Result in Texas Dog Bite Lawsuit Settlements
Dog bites can cause serious and even fatal injuries to children and adults. Vicious dogs have a tendency to jump up and bite their victims in the torso area as well as the face and throat. Children are generally more susceptible to serious dog bite injuries for multiple reasons. First, children have a natural curiosity about dogs, and the innocence of a child leads them to approach the dog with less caution than an adult would. Children are also smaller, and their face, neck, and other vital organs are at a lower level and susceptible to bite wounds from a dog. Lastly, children are developing, which means that injuries sustained in a dog bite can follow them through their life and prevent them from developing properly. If your child was bitten by a dog, you need our dog bite attorneys to handle a claim on your child’s behalf.

Adults can also suffer serious injuries from dog bites. The most common injury from a dog bite is a laceration or puncture wound. Lacerations and punctures from dog bites can cause serious blood loss, scarring, disfigurement, and even muscle or tendon damage. Many individuals who are bit by dogs suffer scarring and disfigurement on their faces and require extensive plastic surgery and reconstructive surgery to repair the damage. In extreme cases, a dog can kill a child or an adult.

Some large breeds have bite capacities that can crush a person’s throat or cause serious head and torso trauma. Some individuals suffer a great deal of blood loss in addition to their wounds, which can also be fatal. If you or someone you love was injured by a dog bite, you should contact our dog bite attorneys to discuss filing a claim. Many homeowners and property owners have insurance policies that cover them if their pet injures someone. These claims can be simple and straightforward when they are handled by our dog bite attorneys so call our office today.

If you or your child were bitten by a dog and you would like to know more about dog bite law in Texas, call our dog bite attorneys.

Most Bicycle Accidents Resulting in Serious Injuries Involve Another Vehicle

There are many different causes of bicycle accidents. It has been determined that most bicycle accidents that result in a serious injury happen when a motor vehicle driver is not paying attention to the area surrounding their vehicle. If the operator of a car, van, truck, bus, or other motor vehicle comes into contact with a bicycle causing serious personal injury the driver may be held responsible.

A bicycle accident that does not involve a car, truck, or another object usually results in a small amount of injury whereas an accident involving another object can provide a significant amount of injury.

Personal injuries are related to the injury produced by the accident. Falling off and hitting obstructions tends to be relatively minor, usually not involving a hospitalization.

Water Accidents are common
According to the United States Coast Guard, there were a total of over 12 million registered recreational boats across the United States. In the past few years, there have been over 10,000 boating accidents with resulting fatalities, injuries, and millions in property damage.

What causes boat and water accidents?
Often, negligence and improper handling of boating equipment by the operator is the common cause of boating accidents and can be prevented using reasonable judgment during the operation of a water vessel. Approximately 70% of all fatal boating accident victims drown – 87% of which are found not wearing a life jacket.

Overall, carelessness and reckless operation, operator inattention, excessive speed, and operator inexperience are leading contributors to serious boating accidents. Collisions with other vessels are the most reported type of accident, through capsizing and falling overboard are reportedly the most common types of fatal accidents.

Other common causes and factors of boating accidents may include:
– Operating while under the influence of alcohol and drugs
– Operating in inclement weather condition
– Lack of experience
– Accidents during water activities
– Onboard explosion or fires
– Electrocution due to lightning or striking a power line

How to Prevent Boating Accidents?
While operating a recreational water vessel, precautions can be taken to prevent boat accidents or minimize the damage if a boat accident occurs. Here are some safety tips:

Always wear life jackets and dress for possible water immersion.
Be aware of weather conditions. Cold weather is more dangerous: lower water temperatures and fewer boaters or water patrols are available to rescue if in distress.
Do not drink alcohol while on the water as it can severely impair judgment and cause serious accidents that may result in harm, damage, and even fatality.
Take advantage of available distress-alerting and position-indicating technologies. In the event of an emergency, such equipment can help rescuers locate water vessels in distress.
Always inform a guard or family member what time you intend to return from a boating or water trip.

What to do if a Texas Boating Accident Injury Occurs

Choosing a Qualified Premises Liability Lawyer
Call Our Premises Liability Lawyers if You Were Hurt on Unsafe Property in Texas

A premise is another term for a piece of property. When you are injured on someone else’s property due to an unsafe condition on the land or building, the claim that you can file is called a premises liability lawsuit. This type of lawsuit is often called a slip-and-fall lawsuit, although the injury can happen in many ways other than slipping and falling. Owners of property have a responsibility to take reasonable precautions to ensure that occupants or visitors on the property are safe. If you have been injured on an unsafe premise, you should speak to our premises liability lawyers who can help you determine your legal rights.

Premises can include land or buildings. A victim of a premises liability accident can be injured on land due to a dangerous condition on the walking surface. Some examples of premise liability claims that can happen outdoors include falling in parking lots, parks, backyards, and sidewalks. These accidents often happen because there was an uneven or slick walking surface that caused the victim to slip and fall. In outdoor premises liability cases, the victims often suffer serious injuries because their bodies struck a hard surface such as cement, asphalt, or stone. Broken bones, knee injuries, back injuries, and contusions can all be the result of an outdoor slip-and-fall. If you have suffered a slip and fall on someone’s land that was negligent, you should contact our premises liability lawyers to discuss your legal rights.

In residential and commercial buildings, there are also serious hazards to occupants and visitors. Landlords and property owners have a responsibility to use reasonable care to keep their buildings safe. Accidents can happen from dangerous stairwells, lifted carpeting, rotting or worn floorboards, missing or broken railing, sharp objects, and many other dangerous residential building hazards. When you are injured in a private home, it can sometimes be difficult to determine who owns the property and who is responsible for the maintenance on the property. Our premises liability lawyers can help you investigate your claim.

Members of the public are also often injured in commercial buildings such as grocery stores, retail stores, office buildings, and warehouses. Some injuries are the result of spilled liquids, spilled produce, broken displays, ice, or lifted carpet tiles. Owners of these stores have a responsibility to inspect the property and clean up any spills that have occurred. Failure to reasonably inspect the premises and rectify any dangerous situations is negligent and can cause serious injury to a customer. If you have been injured due to premises liability in Texas, you need to hire our premises liability lawyers as soon as possible.

If you were injured on someone else’s property and you would like to know more about Texas premises liability law, call our office to hire our personal injury lawyers.

Liquor Liability & Dram Shop
Choosing a Qualified Dram Shop Injury Lawyer

A dram shop is a place where alcoholic beverages are sold. Under the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code, the Dram Shop Act provides for two causes of action for a plaintiff’s injuries that resulted from the provision of alcoholic beverage by (1) a commercial provider to an obviously intoxicated adult or (2) any adult not authorized by statute 2.02(c)(1) to a minor under the age of 18. Tex. Alco. Bev. Code statute 2.02(b),(c).

Providing Alcohol to Intoxicated Adult
The purpose of the Dram Shop Act is to discourage providers of alcoholic beverages from serving alcoholic beverages to obviously intoxicated individuals who may inflict serious injury on themselves or others. F.F.P. Oper. Parters v. Duenez, 237 S.W.3d 680, 683 (Tex. 2007); Smith v. Sewell, 858 S.W.2d 350, 354 (Tex. 1993). A provider’s liability is direct because it is based on the provider’s own wrongful conduct.

Liability under the Dram Shop Act for providing an alcoholic beverage to an adult recipient does not require that the defendant’s provision of the alcoholic beverage contributed to the recipient’s intoxication. Therefore, the plaintiff is not required to prove the recipient actually drank the alcoholic beverage the defendant provided; simply proving the defendant provided the beverage is sufficient.

Providing Alcohol to Minor
The Dram Shop Act permits the recovery of damages from an adult who provides alcoholic beverages to a minor under the age of 18 who, as a result of intoxication, injuries another person. Tex. Alco. Bev. Code statute 2.02(c).

It is a violation of criminal law for most persons to sell or provide alcohol to a minor or to purchase alcohol for a minor. A parent, guardian, spouse, or custodian of a minor may purchase alcohol for or give alcohol to the minor if the person is visibly present when the minor possesses or consumes the alcohol.

Choosing a Qualified Workers Compensation Lawyer
When to Find a Workers Compensation Lawyer

If you are hurt on the job, you need a workers’ compensation lawyer to represent you. Workers’ compensation claims can be complicated and time-consuming, and your employer’s insurance company will be trying to minimize the settlement for your claim. Our workers’ compensation lawyers can help you file your claim.

Workers’ compensation is an insurance system that is similar to auto accident claims. Your employer pays for an insurance policy that protects them from being sued if their employees are injured. Instead, when the employees are injured, they file a claim with the insurance company, which then negotiates with the workers’ attorneys to determine the settlement grounds. Even if your employer recognizes that your injury was an accident and states that they want to make sure you are compensated fairly, it is important to remember that you will not be negotiating with your employer directly. You will be working with the insurance company, and the company’s goal is to minimize your Texas workers’ comp settlement.

There are many types of benefits that a worker can get from an insurance company. The first type of benefit is compensation for medical care. The insurance company will handle the cost of doctor’s appointments, surgeries, and physical therapy if the treatment is related to your injury. Another type of benefit is a payment for time lost from work. There are also additional benefits if a worker is killed or permanently disabled. While this may seem cut-and-dried, the insurance company will try to argue that your treatment is unrelated to your injury, that you can return to work when you truly cannot, or that your injury was not caused by your job duties. You need a dedicated and experienced workers’ comp attorney to stand up for you against the insurance company and get you the maximum Texas workers’ comp payments for your injuries.

Workers’ comp injuries come in many different forms. They can be anything from broken bones to lacerations to blindness to cancer. Some of the most common injuries to workers are back injuries, knee injuries, and shoulder injuries. These types of injuries happen when a worker is engaged in physical labor, and although they are usually treatable injuries, they can permanently affect a worker’s capacity to earn a living in the future. Some of the most dangerous and even fatal types of injuries include fall injuries, head injuries, and cancer like mesothelioma from exposure to toxic substances. Whether your injury was temporary or permanent, you still deserve a fair amount of workers’ compensation payments to compensate you for your medical care and lost wages. If you have been hurt on the job in any capacity, a workers’ compensation lawyer can help you with your claim.

If you have been injured in a work accident and you would like to know more about Texas worker compensation law, call our law firm to hire a workers’ compensation lawyer.

Gun crime defense attorneys with a record of success

Prosecution of gun crime is now one of Washington’s highest law enforcement priorities. The U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington stated that “if you bring a gun to a crime, you will do time, and you will likely do federal time.” Just three months later, a proposal was floated to crack down on juveniles who illegally carry guns. As weapons crimes attorneys, we can tell you the message is clear: gun and weapons crimes will be more forcefully prosecuted than ever before.

While you have the constitutional right to bear arms, weapons charges carry some of the most severe penalties. You also have a right to legal representation when facing a criminal charge — a right you must exercise when facing weapons charges, whether they involve handguns, sawed-off shotguns, machine guns, or switchblade knives. Our Law Office can help. If you have been charged with a gun or other deadly weapons crime, our defense attorneys have the experience that can make the difference between dismissal, acquittal, or reduced charges, steep fines, and prison time.

Assault with a deadly weapon
Carrying a weapon without a license
Carrying a concealed weapon without a license
Minors in possession of a firearm
Switchblade or gravity knife charges

Theft Lawyers Build The Best Case To Get The Best Results

Shoplifting attorneys provide creative defense strategies
Tough economic times have led to increased incidences of shoplifting and theft — and increased vigilance by store security and loss prevention teams. And with 30 percent of losses caused by shoplifting and 45 percent of losses caused by employee theft, retailers are more likely to prosecute to send a message to both shoppers and employees that they mean business.

While being publicly apprehended or charged with a crime is humiliating, it is nothing compared to the penalties you may face. Depending on the value of the item, you could be looking at felony charges that may include imprisonment and steep fines — and may affect your job options, ability to obtain student loans, and more.

Don’t let a shoplifting or theft charge ruin your life. The criminal law attorneys of our Law Office are attorneys who provide strategic representation against shoplifting charges with the goal of helping you achieve the best possible outcome for your situation.

Misdemeanor and felony theft
Do you know the top five things you should do if you are charged with a crime? At the top of the list is to get competent, experienced legal representation before you talk to anybody — particularly store loss prevention staff or the police. Do not assume that you will just be able to return the merchandise and walk away.

As your theft and shoplifting lawyer, we are here to help you fight the charges leveled against you — including avoiding prosecution and possibly expunging your record. Contact us immediately if you have been charged with:

Third-degree theft of an item valued at less than $750
Second-degree theft of an item valued between $750 and $4,999
First-degree theft of an item valued at $5,000 or more
Misdemeanor theft of an item valued at $250 or less
