Las lesiones en obras de construcción son desafortunadamente muy comunes en el mundo de la ley de lesiones personales. Hay varias razones para esto. Obtenga más información en este video.
Attorneys’ Fees
One of the most common questions we are asked is “how does a personal injury lawyer get paid for a car or truck accident case?”
Bicycle Accidents
Bikes are becoming a more and more frequent sight on streets, roads, and trails across the country, as their popularity for both commute and recreation increases. But, while they are a more environmentally friendly and healthier alternative to riding in a car, they also carry with them more inherent dangers as well.
Burn Injuries
In Texas where industrial accidents occur on almost a regularly daily basis, you need to be aware of what type of burns you could have and be exposed to.
Chemical Plant Explosions
Refineries and chemical plants can be dangerous places to work for the workers that are there.
Common Car Accident Injuries
Car accidents are unfortunately an all too common occurrence in our nation, and they impact families all over every day – in big and small ways. One of the most impactful, and oftentimes the most long-lasting consequences of these accidents is the injuries they leave on the body.
Construction Fall Accidents
Along with accidents involving operators of heavy machinery or power tools, falls from a height are among the most common causes of injuries and deaths at construction sites. It’s not hard to see why. If your job takes you up high on a ladder, scaffolding or a roof, you’re at risk for a fall. Construction jobs that are especially dangerous for this reason include high-rise construction, roofing, electrical power line installation and repair and structural iron and steel work.
Distracted Driving Accidents
Unfortunately, in today’s world, distracted driving tends to be the norm rather than the exception. And it only takes a second for a driver to not be paying full attention for something horrible and unintended to happen.
Economic vs Non-Economic Damages in a Personal Injury Case
The law also allows you to recover non-economic damages for an accident. You likely suffered physical pain and mental anguish because of your injuries, and you are entitled to money to make up for that suffering. You can also get money for physical disfigurement you’ve suffered, like scars and burns, and for physical impairment, such as the loss of your ability to perform certain activities. Certain close family members like spouses can even recover money for their personal emotional suffering when a loved one is injured.

How Do Insurance Companies Make Money?
As many people have found out when they filed a claim, the insurance company will often exploit any loopholes and employ less than honorable tactics that ultimately will lessen the amount of money that they have to pay out.
How to Choose a Personal Injury Attorney
If you or a family member needs to hire a personal injury lawyer, there are three important things you should look for when doing your research: experience, resources, and tactics.
Motorcycle Accidents and Claims
If you’re 21 years or older, you do not have to wear a helmet in Texas. It’s not required. However, you have to complete approved courses on motorcycle operation and training courses.
Motorcycle Crashes | Common Types, How to Avoid Them & What to if You or a Loved One are Injured in One
One of the most common types of motorcycle accidents occurs when a biker is making a left hand turn and is hit by an oncoming car. Oftentimes the driver of the car will say that he or she did not see the biker, as if he were invisible.
Pedestrian Accidents
Statistically, about half of these pedestrian knockdown cases are the fault of the vehicle driver. So what I see is that there’s all different types of causes of accidents. I see carelessness, failure to look out, not paying attention, texting, not looking where you’re going and driving up on the sidewalk.
Pedestrian Accidents
According to the CDC, a pedestrian is injured in an accident with a car every seven minutes in the United States. Though many pedestrians are injured or killed while jaywalking, or crossing a street without a legally protected crosswalk, about half of all auto/pedestrian accidents are the fault of the driver.
Premises Liability
How quickly must a property owner clear a hazard? I believe it’s within a reasonable period of time, which is often what I hear, and reasonable periods of time are ultimately not necessarily set in stone. So what a reasonable person would do has to sometimes be decided by a jury.
Premises Liability | Slip & Fall
Premises liability, at its core, means that if you were injured on someone else’s property as a result of their negligence, you may have a legal right to claim payments. Under Texas law, and in many other states, property owners (both public and private) must ensure the safety of those on their property and take reasonable precautions to protect them from injury or harm. And if they don’t, and someone is injured on business property or suffers personal injury on private property, the owner can be sued for damages.
School Bus Danger Zone
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas has an average of 1.4 million students transported by school bus each day of the school year. And for those students, the greatest danger they will face throughout the whole school day is while getting on or off the bus.
Should I Sue?

What is the Cost of Surgery?

When to Hire a Lawyer

Who is a Jones Act Seaman?
The Jones Act is a very worker-friendly law that allows you to replace all your wages, pay your medical bills and more after an accident. But it only applies to “seamen,” and there are specific rules about who is a seaman. So it pays to know who qualifies.
Who is Covered by the Jones Act?
Today we’re talking about a powerful tool for injured workers: The Jones Act. If you work on a boat or other vessel, and were injured, this law can help you get compensation. But it doesn’t apply to every worker, so in this segment, we’re going to talk about who is covered under The Jones Act.
Work Related Accidents and Injuries
A workplace injury might be something small like a cut hand at a food prep station in a restaurant, or it could be something much bigger, like an injury at a chemical plant, refinery or offshore oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. Other very serious injuries can include amputation from machinery or a traumatic brain injury from falling materials at a construction worksite.
