What We Handle

Practice Areas

Select a case type to see how we build and fight it. If you or a loved one was hurt because someone else was careless, we want to hear about it.

Commercial & 18-Wheeler Collisions

Truck Accidents

Trucking companies have rapid-response teams on the scene within hours to limit their liability. We move faster — preserving black-box data, logs, and dashcam footage before it disappears.

  • Federal (FMCSA) hours-of-service violations
  • Black-box & ELD data preservation
  • Overweight & improper-loading claims
  • Corporate & carrier liability

Auto Collisions & Uninsured Motorists

Car Accidents

From rear-end wrecks on I-45 to intersection T-bones, we handle the insurance adjusters so you can focus on healing — and we don't settle for their first lowball offer.

  • Full property-damage & injury claims
  • Uninsured / underinsured motorist
  • Medical-lien negotiation
  • Lost wages & future earnings

Rider Injury & Bias Defense

Motorcycle Wrecks

Riders face unfair "they knew the risk" bias from insurers and juries. We counter it head-on with reconstruction experts and a story that puts fault where it belongs.

  • Accident reconstruction experts
  • Anti-rider bias defense strategy
  • Catastrophic & road-rash injuries
  • Helmet & gear evidence handling

Fatal Injury & Survivor Claims

Wrongful Death

Nothing replaces a loved one. What we can do is hold the responsible party fully accountable and secure the financial security your family deserves — with compassion at every step.

  • Survival & wrongful-death actions
  • Loss of support & companionship
  • Funeral & medical expense recovery
  • Punitive damages where allowed

Premises Liability

Slip & Fall

Property owners have a duty to keep you safe. When wet floors, broken stairs, or poor lighting cause serious injury, we prove notice and negligence — and make them answer for it.

  • Store, apartment & parking-lot falls
  • Notice & hazard-documentation proof
  • Negligent security claims
  • Traumatic brain & spine injuries

On-the-Job & Industrial Injury

Workplace Injury

Houston's energy, construction, and shipping industries carry real danger. Beyond workers' comp, we pursue third-party claims that can mean far greater recovery for serious injuries.

  • Construction & industrial accidents
  • Third-party liability beyond comp
  • Oilfield & refinery injuries
  • Equipment & safety-failure claims

Medical Negligence

Medical Malpractice

When a preventable medical error causes harm, we work with respected medical experts to establish the standard of care that was broken — and the damage it caused.

  • Surgical & diagnostic errors
  • Birth & anesthesia injuries
  • Medication & dosage mistakes
  • Independent medical-expert review

Dangerous & Defective Products

Product Liability

Defective auto parts, machinery, and consumer products injure thousands every year. We take on manufacturers and hold them accountable for putting profit over safety.

  • Design & manufacturing defects
  • Failure-to-warn claims
  • Auto & tire defect litigation
  • Recalled-product injuries
