Practice Areas
How is Fault Determined Under Texas Law?
In Texas, there are several ways to determine who was at fault in an accident. Your attorney can help you find the truth by utilizing security cameras, police reports, eyewitness accounts, and more. In some cases, we hire an accident reconstructionist who can use evidence found at the scene to recreate the incident and uncover what really happened.
Texas is a comparative fault state, meaning both parties can share fault in the accident. However, you can still collect damages if your share of the fault is less than 50%. The negligent party will then owe you damages according to their percentage of fault. For example, if someone collided with you because they were driving recklessly, but your brake light was out, you could be assigned 25% of the fault. You would then recover 75% of the cost of your injuries.
What Should I Look for When Hiring a Personal Injury Attorney in Houston?
Choosing a lawyer can be difficult, especially with the many personal injury attorneys in the Houston area. When choosing a law firm, you want to find attorneys who focus on a limited number of practice areas. This shows that they work with the same kinds of claims, giving your lawyers experience and knowledge in the area of law you need help with.
You also need lawyers who are dedicated to seeking justice. The attorneys at your personal injury law firm should listen carefully to your concerns and take your case seriously. They should be able to explain difficult legal terms in a way that you understand so you can be an active participant in the legal process.

What Damages Can I Recover for My Personal Injuries?
Many accident victims wonder if it is worth bringing a lawsuit when they can simply file a claim with the insurance company. However, the sad truth is that many insurance agents are looking out for the company’s best interests, not those of the injured person. And with the right legal representation, you may recover much more than just the cost of medical care.
Some expenses that could be covered in a personal injury case are:
- Hospital charges
- Ambulance costs
- Expenses related to Rehab, such as therapy, chiropractic care, pain management, etc.
- Specialist visits
- Medical equipment, such as crutches or a wheelchair
- Lost income
- Lost earning capacity
- Lost vacation days and bonuses
- Emotional distress
- Pain and suffering
- Disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Punitive damages (in some cases)
For help recovering the full damages you are owed, contact our highly skilled attorneys to pursue compensation on your behalf.

What Are Some Common Causes of Accidents in Houston?
People are injured in Houston every day, and many of these accidents could have been prevented. If your injury is the cause of someone else’s lack of care, you could have an injury case.
The following are some examples of Houston accidents that could lead to a personal injury claim:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Rideshare accidents
- Commercial vehicle (bus) accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Workplace injuries
- Wrongful death
- Dog bites
- Pedestrian accidents
While many of these incidents could result in minor injuries, some accidents may be very severe, requiring hospitalization, missed work, and months of physical therapy. As a victim, you could have mounting medical expenses from the ambulance, specialists, medical equipment like crutches, and more. Missing work can make it seem impossible to ever pay off these bills.
We work tirelessly to investigate accidents and recover evidence that proves negligence to further leverage settlement negotiations. This guidance and support can prove to be even more critical for rideshare accidents where you are hit by an Uber or Lyft or are riding as a passenger in one!
