Experienced, Personalized Legal Support for a Broad Array of Accidental Injuries
Motor vehicle accidents are the most common cause of personal injuries, but our attorneys regularly help injured clients pursue compensation for many types of accidents, including the following:
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Whether injuries and other damages from car accidents can be fully reimbursed through an insurance claim or if severe injuries sustained from an auto, motorcycle, or truck accident require more extensive legal action, we help clients pursue the full compensation they need and deserve.
Wrongful Death
No amount of money can truly compensate families who lose a loved one due to other parties’ careless or wrongful acts. Still, families deserve compensation for the significant expenses they incur in these tragic situations. We provide compassionate assistance in wrongful death claims to help immediate family members pursue the funds they need to pay present and future expenses.
Premises Liability
Property owners have a legal duty to maintain their premises to keep their visitors reasonably safe from accidental injuries. If you sustain an injury due to a slip and fall accident on a wet floor or other preventable hazards, you may need to file a premises liability claim to pursue compensation for the expenses related to your injury.
Workplace Injuries
Under Texas law, most individuals injured on the job can file a workers’ compensation claim to pay medical and other expenses. Our law firm’s experienced personal injury attorneys can provide legal assistance for clients facing claim denial or those who can potentially take additional legal action against a negligent third party.
Catastrophic Injuries
Life can change instantly for people who sustain severe brain injuries or spine injuries. Our firm has the experience and resources needed to help ensure our clients pursue the immediate and long-term costs associated with any catastrophic injury.
Medical Malpractice
Health care practitioners cannot guarantee a cure for every illness. However, when they cause injuries by delivering substandard care, medical negligence can be grounds for medical malpractice. We have the experience to help pursue compensation for our clients in these highly technical legal cases.
We understand that our clients in Galena Park and neighboring areas need to focus on healing and adjusting to new circumstances after an accident. We believe the role of personal injury attorneys extends beyond experienced legal support. We are dedicated to taking on the details and providing any guidance our clients need — from helping them understand their unique legal issues to finding medical professionals.
How Texas Law Addresses Issues of Negligent Acts that Cause Injuries to Others
According to Texas law, everyone has a responsibility for injuries or damages caused by intentional wrongful acts. In addition, everyone is responsible for damages caused by a lack of ordinary care, known as negligence.
To prove negligence, accident victims must show the following:
- The defendant had a duty to the victim.
- The defendant failed to meet a reasonable standard and breached their duty.
- The breach of duty caused harm to the victim, causing damage to property or physical injury.
When you bring your concerns to Joe I. Zaid & Associates, we carefully assess the details behind your injuries and identify all legal options for pursuing compensation for your losses. With some exceptions, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim under the Texas Statute of Limitations, so we recommend you contact us as soon as possible to start developing an effective case.
The Value of a Personal Injury Claim
Depending upon the severity of injuries, victims can pursue all expenses related to their injuries, such as the following:
- Past, current, and future anticipated costs of medical treatment and therapy
- The expenses related to caring for home and family as long as victims cannot meet their normal daily responsibilities
- Lost time from work during the recovery period or for a lifetime when catastrophic injuries reduce or eliminate the ability to earn a living
- Reimbursement for the long-term effects of permanent disability
- The costs of psychological treatment
- Pain and suffering
Although rare, it is also possible to pursue punitive damages against an individual whose heinous acts cause injuries. We develop a detailed assessment of all losses to ensure our clients pursue the full value of their claims.
