Practice Areas
Whatever type of accident you suffered, you should have a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer to assist you through the legal process.

- Car accidents. From minor fender benders to catastrophic multi-car collisions, you need assistance to recover all the compensation you deserve.
- Motorcycle accidents. When you’re injured in a crash that was someone else’s fault, you need an experienced attorney who can help dispel the common media-induced stereotypes of bikers as reckless rule-breakers so that you get the compensation you’re owed.
- Truck accidents. When you’re involved in a crash with a commercial truck, a good attorney can help you find all the potentially liable parties so you can obtain the compensation you need for your injuries and losses.
- Pedestrian accidents. Whether you were hit by a car, motorcycle, or truck, an experienced lawyer can help you pursue compensation from the at-fault party.
- Explosion accidents. Chemical, petrochemical, and agricultural plants are dangerous for workers and surrounding areas. If you’re injured in an explosion, we can help.
- Products liability. Manufacturers and sellers can be held to account for products that cause injury to their users.
- Medical malpractice. It’s difficult for claimants to pursue justice in this type of case without skilled legal assistance.
- Medical devices. When medical devices are part of your treatment regimen, you expect them to work properly. When they don’t, it may be possible to pursue compensation from the manufacturer.
- Railroad injuries. Whether you work on the railroad all day, were a passenger in a train that crashed, or were just crossing the tracks, you deserve compensation for your injuries.
- Garbage truck accidents. Big commercial vehicles may cause serious injuries if they hit a person or passenger vehicle when making their rounds.
- Offshore injuries. Cargo crews, oil rig workers, and other workers are protected by the Jones Act, but you should have an attorney who can help you fight for your rights.
- Premises liability. Property owners and managers have an obligation to provide safe premises for visitors. When they don’t, and you’re injured as a result, you may have a claim for compensation.
- Workplace injuries. Workers’ compensation benefits should be available to workers who are injured on the job, but sometimes, they’re difficult to obtain. We can help.
- Traumatic brain injuries. If you’re injured in an accident caused by someone else, and you sustain a traumatic brain injury, your life will change. You need the assistance of a skilled personal injury attorney to get the money you’ll need to adapt to your changed circumstances.
- Wrongful death. Losing a loved one in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence is difficult to bear. Compensation won’t bring your loved one back but could help with end-of-life expenses.

What Should I Do After an Accident?
In Texas, you have only two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit against the person or entity that caused your injury. If you are involved in an accident, keep this in mind as much as possible, and consider retaining legal counsel right away.
Gather information while you are still at the accident scene if you can. Get all the other party’s personal information, including:
- Name
- Address
- Contact details
- Insurance information
- Vehicle description, including license plate, make and model, and color
The responding officer will give you a report number, but you won’t receive a police report at the scene. It takes ten days to two weeks for the report to be available online. If you did not receive the report number, you can still get the report if you have the date, time, and location of the accident.
Take photos or videos at the scene with your own phone. If you’re not able to do it yourself, ask someone you can trust to take the pictures with your phone. If you can’t get pictures at the time, you should go back later and get pictures that show the location of the accident and any important landmarks.
Take all this information to a legal professional. Even if you are unsure about hiring an attorney right away, you should have someone review your insurance claim before you send it in. Insurance companies will look for every missing document and unchecked box as a reason to send your claim back, so a knowledgeable attorney should review the packet before you send it in.
When it is time for a settlement, you should have someone review that as well. Before you sign or agree to anything an insurance company sends you, you are entitled to let an attorney look it over and be sure you understand what you are signing. Never sign anything you don’t fully understand, even if you think the insurer explained it all carefully.
