In depth

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR CASE TYPE.

Car Accidents

Most car accident settlements are too low. We change that.

Insurance companies make money by paying as little as possible. Their adjusters are trained to close files fast and cheap. Our job is to make sure that does not happen to you.

Typical Compensation

Medical bills, lost wages, future care costs, pain and suffering, property damage, loss of consortium. Severe injury cases regularly exceed $500,000.

TX Statute of Limitations

2 years from the date of injury (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003). Government entities may require notice within 6 months.

Common Defendants
  • At-fault driver
  • Driver's employer (if on the job)
  • Vehicle manufacturer (product defect)
  • Government entity (road defect)
  • Dram shop (if driver was over-served)
What to Document
  • Scene photos from multiple angles
  • Insurance and registration of all parties
  • Witness names and phone numbers
  • Police report number

Truck & 18-Wheeler Accidents

Trucking cases are corporate fights. Bring corporate fighters.

When a commercial truck crashes, the trucking company's legal team is activated within hours. They preserve evidence favorable to their case and destroy what isn't. You need attorneys who move just as fast.

Typical Compensation

Trucking cases regularly produce seven-figure results due to severity of injuries and availability of commercial insurance policies. Federal minimum coverage is $750,000; many carriers have $5M+ umbrella policies.

TX Statute of Limitations

2 years from the date of injury. FMCSA regulations require carriers to retain certain logs only 6 months -- call immediately.

Common Defendants
  • Truck driver
  • Trucking company
  • Freight broker
  • Cargo loader (improper loading)
  • Truck manufacturer (brake/tire defect)
  • Maintenance company
What to Document
  • Black box (ECM) data must be preserved via legal hold letter
  • Driver's hours-of-service logs
  • Driver qualification file
  • Drug and alcohol testing records

Motorcycle Accidents

We fight the bias. We win for riders.

Studies show jurors hold motorcyclists to a higher standard of care even when the data shows most motorcycle crashes are caused by cagers. We prepare every motorcycle case as if bias is the primary obstacle.

Typical Compensation

Road rash, fractures, and traumatic brain injuries are common. Damages routinely exceed $200,000; catastrophic cases can reach seven figures.

TX Statute of Limitations

2 years from injury date. Protective equipment records and weather data should be preserved immediately.

Common Defendants
  • At-fault vehicle driver
  • Road maintenance authority (debris, potholes)
  • Helmet/gear manufacturer (product defect)
  • Bar or establishment (dram shop)
What to Document
  • Helmet condition (do not repair or discard)
  • Protective gear photos
  • Road condition at scene
  • Traffic camera footage (request within days)

Premises Liability

Property owners are responsible for keeping you safe.

Slip and falls, trip hazards, negligent security, swimming pool accidents, and dog bites all fall under premises liability. Texas law requires owners to warn of or fix known hazards. When they don't, they pay.

Typical Compensation

Depends on injury severity. Spinal injuries on premises regularly settle at $300,000 to $1M+. Negligent security cases with assaults can reach similar figures.

TX Statute of Limitations

2 years. Surveillance footage is typically overwritten in 30-90 days -- send preservation letter immediately.

Common Defendants
  • Property owner
  • Property management company
  • Tenant in control of premises
  • Maintenance contractor
  • Security company
What to Document
  • Photograph the exact hazard before it's repaired
  • Report the incident in writing to management
  • Get names of all witnesses
  • Seek medical care same day

Wrongful Death

Justice for families who've lost everything.

When someone's negligence or intentional act kills a person, Texas law allows eligible survivors to pursue compensation. No verdict can fill the loss. What it can do is provide financial security and send an unmistakable message.

Typical Compensation

Pecuniary loss (financial support victim would have provided), loss of companionship, mental anguish, funeral expenses, and in some cases punitive damages.

TX Statute of Limitations

2 years from the date of death. Wrongful death plaintiffs are the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased.

Common Defendants
  • Negligent driver
  • Negligent property owner
  • Medical provider
  • Employer
  • Product manufacturer
What to Document
  • Death certificate
  • Police and medical examiner reports
  • Decedent's employment and income records
  • Evidence of family dependency

Catastrophic Injuries

Life-altering injuries demand lifetime compensation.

Spinal cord injuries, severe traumatic brain injuries, amputations, and severe burn injuries change everything. Future medical costs, lost lifetime earnings, and long-term care can reach millions of dollars. We build those cases with life-care planners and economic experts.

Typical Compensation

Full lifetime care cost projections, lost earning capacity through normal retirement age, home modification costs, attendant care costs. Total damages routinely exceed $3M to $10M+.

TX Statute of Limitations

2 years from injury, but mental incapacity may toll (pause) the statute. Call immediately -- do not assume time is available.

Common Defendants
  • Commercial trucking companies
  • Industrial employers
  • Product manufacturers
  • Property owners
  • Healthcare providers
What to Document
  • All emergency room and hospital records
  • Neurological and specialist evaluations
  • Life care planner engaged early
  • Vocational rehabilitation expert retained

Time is critical

TEXAS GIVES YOU 2 YEARS. EVIDENCE DISAPPEARS IN DAYS.
