Personal Injury Claims We Accept

For years, our law firm has helped people handle personal injury claims involving:

• Car accidents: If another motorist hit you while driving through Garland, let us know right away. We can help you make sense of your auto insurance policy and decide if you have the grounds to pursue a claim against the other driver.
• Truck accidents: We have the experience and resources needed to bring injury claims against nationwide trucking companies and their parent corporations following a truck accident.
• Construction accidents: Injured construction workers often do not have workers’ compensation coverage, especially not in Texas where workers’ comp is mostly not required by law. If you are hurt in a construction accident, you might have to file an injury claim. We can help.
• Premises liability: Did you get hurt on someone else's property, like a friend’s house or a retail store? Ask us about your legal options and how to start a premises liability claim.
• Product liability: When a dangerous product hurts a consumer, it’s only right to take legal action against the manufacturer for putting an unsafe product on the market. Our attorneys can start product liability claims against any manufacturer, including international conglomerates.
• Wrongful deaths: Allow us to handle your wrongful death claim or lawsuit if you lost a loved one to a preventable accident. We know how to move your case forward while showing the utmost respect for you during such a difficult and sensitive time.

Important Texas Personal Injury Laws

Three important liability laws and rules in Texas that you should know are:

1. Right to seek compensation: If you are injured due to another party’s negligence or intentional wrongdoing, you have the right to use the civil court system to file an injury claim in pursuit of fair compensation.
2. Modified comparative negligence: Texas uses a modified comparative fault rule with a 50% threshold. Under this rule, a plaintiff must be no more than 50% liable for their own damages, or else they can be barred from pursuing a claim against another party.
3. Statute of limitations: Most personal injury claims in Texas are held to a two-year statute of limitations that begins on the date of the injury or when the injury or less should be reasonably noticeable. If a claim is not started within the two-year window, the court will likely reject any claim filed afterward.
