If you share fault for a wreck, that does not necessarily mean the end of your case under Texas law. In fact, in the state of Texas, you can be partially at fault for an accident and still recover some compensation, under what is called a comparative fault system.
Should I Sue?
If you or a loved one has been hurt in a car or truck accident, you’ll want to consult a lawyer as soon as possible after the crash, for several reasons.
Chemical Plant Explosions
Refineries and chemical plants can be dangerous places to work for the workers that are there.
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?”
Maritime Law and The Jones Act
The Jones Act is a really great law that protects workers on the high seas or workers who are on any kind of floating offshore rig, or who are working on a cargo ship, or a tanker ship.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of traumatic brain injury. Also, there are falls, which can cause a traumatic brain injury, and sports accidents. Often, what you hear in the news today is sports accidents causing what’s referred to as TBI, traumatic brain injuries. However, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of traumatic brain injuries.
