What is a personal injury lawsuit?
A personal injury lawsuit can be filed when an individual suffers harm due to an accident or injury caused by another person's negligent, reckless or willful conduct. While each case is unique, many injury claims are resolved through a settlement negotiation with an insurance company rather than by going to trial. If an agreement cannot be reached, filing a civil lawsuit in court may be necessary.
Our mission is to provide injury victims with a voice. Unlike other law firms, our practice is focused 100% on personal injury law. We are dedicated to holding responsible parties accountable and helping our clients obtain just compensation.

Our Houston Personal Injury Lawyer Has Years Of Experience
We have a proven history of success in claims arising from a variety of accidents, including:
Automobile accidents
While car accident claims in Texas fall under no-fault insurance law, injury victims are at a disadvantage against powerful insurance companies that often attempt to settle injury claims for as little money as possible. We have the knowledge and experience to make sure our clients obtain the full value of their claims.
Bicycle accidents
As bicycling has become increasingly popular in the Houston area, bicycle accidents are on the rise. While both motorists and cyclists are required to follow traffic laws, an injured cyclist may be able to recover damages if an accident was caused by a negligent driver.
Construction accidents
Although construction work is inherently dangerous, all workers in Texas have a right to a safe work environment. In the event of a construction accident, a personal injury claim can be filed against against negligent site owners, general and subcontractors, architects and engineers, machinery or equipment manufacturers, and insurers.
Motorcycle Accidents
Being injured in a motorcycle accident can be devastating. We know how to overcome the public’s bias against motorcyclists to help our clients obtain meaningful compensation.
Pedestrian Accidents
While pedestrians must exercise reasonable care for their own safety in Houston, a personal injury claim can be filed against a negligent driver who has caused a pedestrian accident.
Product Liability
Manufacturers have an obligation to ensure the products they provide to consumers are safe and to warn consumers about the potential dangers of the use or misuse of a product. It is possible to hold negligent manufacturers and distributors accountable through a product liability lawsuit.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Owners of residential, commercial and public property in the greater Houston area have a duty to provide a safe environment to visitors and passersby. Broken steps, raised sidewalks, slippery surfaces, poor lighting and other hazards can cause slip, trip and fall accidents that lead to significant injuries. We routinely pursue personal injury claims against negligent property owners who fail to clear or repair such hazards.
Truck Accidents
Despite numerous state and federal truck safety laws, truck accidents are far too common, often resulting in catastrophic injuries. Depending on the cause of the accident, a personal injury lawsuit can be filed against a negligent trucking company, a truck driver, or both.
Uber/Lyft Accidents
Since rideshare companies such as Uber and Lyft began operating in the Houston area in 2017, there have been a number of rideshare accidents, causing injuries to riders, drivers, and occupants of other vehicles. Because of the complicated insurance rules governing rideshare accidents, it is crucial to have proper legal representation if you are involved in a Uber or Lyft accident.
Wrongful Death
Coping with the death of a loved one is never easy, but grief can be compounded by anger when the death is caused by another party's reckless, negligent, or malicious conduct. No amount of money can ever replace a life, but it is possible to find justice by filing a wrongful death lawsuit.
The value of an injury claim depends on factors such as the nature of the accident, the severity of your injuries, and the degree to which you may have contributed to the accident. However, compensation may be awarded to cover lost wages, out-of-pocket medical expenses, pain and suffering, property damage and other losses. If the other party’s conduct was particularly egregious or unlawful, “exemplary” or “punitive” damages may also be awarded.
