Personal Injury Cases We Handle

- Trees, utility poles or other hazards that obscure a driver’s field of vision
Truck Accidents
Trucks are defined as a gross vehicle weight of greater than 10,000 pounds. Victims of truck accidents should seek immediate medical and legal representation.
The statute of limitations for truck accidents in Texas is 2 years from the date of the accident. However, it can be a lot shorter if the government was involved.
If your more than 50% at fault then you cannot recover any damages.
Economic damages you can recover:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
Non-economic damages you can recover:
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Disfigurement
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of enjoyment in life

- Reputational injury
- Pecuniary losses
Texas truck accident cases can be very complex as there may be more than one party at fault for the accident. Possible at-fault parties may include the truck driver, the trucking company, the cargo company, and the manufacturer.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents can result in devastating injuries or death. Common injuries sustained to motorists is traumatic brain injuries (TBI’s). The amount of damages you can recover depends on the extent of your injury.
Beware of insurance adjusters:
- Insurance companies will try to blame you for the accident and divide the blame with the at-fault parties
- Insurance companies will try to get you to make a recorded or written statement
- Ask for a medical release
- Offer a very low settlement or deny your case entirely
Negligent actions that may cause a motorcycle accident include:
- Speeding
- Changing lanes without checking for motorcycles
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Driving while distracted by music, your phone, or passengers
- Failure to yield or obey traffic signs
Wrongful Death
There is no amount of money that could compensate for the loss of a loved one but with the help of an experienced attorney, your family can recover a just settlement for all of the damages and future expenses.
Only spouses and children of the deceased are those that can file a lawsuit against the guilty party.
Recoverable damages:
- Loss of future earnings
- Direct expenses; hospital and medical bills, as well as funeral costs
- Loss of benefits; pension/ retirement benefits
- Loss of companionship
- Loss of financial support
The statute of limitations is 2 years from the date of the accident.
If the plaintiff is a minor the statute of limitations is suspended until they turn 18 years of age. Consequently, if an heir or beneficiary is negligent for the defendant’s death, damages will be reduced.
