Services
Car Accident
Our car accident attorneys help victims of negligent drivers recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We handle cases involving distracted driving, drunk driving, and commercial vehicle collisions. With deep knowledge of Texas insurance laws, we negotiate with carriers to ensure fair settlements. Our team investigates crash scenes, reviews police reports, and works with medical experts to document long-term injury impacts.
Truck Accident
Truck accident cases require specialized expertise due to federal regulations and complex liability issues. We investigate driver logs, maintenance records, and cargo loading practices to build strong claims. Our attorneys hold trucking companies accountable for violations of hours-of-service rules and safety protocols. We pursue compensation for catastrophic injuries including spinal cord damage and traumatic brain injuries resulting from 18-wheeler collisions.
Premises Liability
Property owners must maintain safe environments for visitors. We represent clients injured by hazardous conditions like uneven sidewalks, poor lighting, and swimming pool accidents. Our lawyers prove negligence by demonstrating property owners' awareness of dangers through maintenance records and witness testimony. We seek damages for broken bones, head injuries, and chronic pain caused by preventable accidents on commercial or residential properties.
DWI Injuries
Victims of drunk drivers face severe physical, emotional, and financial challenges. We pursue criminal charges against offenders while simultaneously building civil claims for compensation. Our attorneys work with toxicology experts to prove impairment and calculate long-term damages from traumatic brain injuries, spinal trauma, and internal bleeding. We ensure victims receive medical care funding while holding intoxicated drivers fully accountable for their actions.
Dog Bites
Texas follows a 'one-bite' rule for dog liability cases. We prove property owners knew or should have known about dangerous animals through prior incident reports and veterinary records. Our attorneys handle claims involving severe lacerations, nerve damage, and psychological trauma from attacks. We pursue compensation from homeowners' insurance policies while protecting victims' rights against defenses claiming provocation or comparative negligence.

Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas?
Texas has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. Contact an attorney immediately to preserve evidence and meet critical deadlines.
What if the insurance company offers a quick settlement?
Insurance companies often minimize payouts. Our attorneys evaluate your case's full value before accepting any settlement to ensure long-term medical and financial needs are covered.
Do I need a lawyer for minor car accident injuries?
Even minor injuries can develop complications. We help document medical treatment and prove liability to prevent insurance companies from denying future claims related to the accident.
How are truck accident settlements calculated?
Settlements consider medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs. We work with medical experts to document long-term injury impacts and calculate appropriate compensation.
Can I sue a landlord for a dog bite on rental property?
Landlords may share liability if they knew about dangerous animals and failed to act. We investigate property management records to prove negligence in premises liability cases.
What happens if a trucking company destroys evidence?
We immediately issue preservation letters to prevent evidence destruction. If spoliation occurs, we pursue sanctions and use available documentation to build your case.
