Car accidents, pedestrian crashes, animal attacks, and other harmful incidents can turn your life upside down in the blink of an eye, leaving you facing severe injuries, mounting medical expenses and financial losses, and concerns for your future. You might wonder how you’ll afford the expensive medical care you need or how you’ll support yourself or your family if your injuries prevent you from working or advancing your career.

Skilled Personal Injury Representation for the Lone Star State
Individuals and companies are legally obligated to take reasonable steps to avoid harming others, or risk facing liability for resulting injuries and losses. We provide caring and effective representation for personal injury cases involving motor vehicle accidents or animal attacks.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Car crashes, motorcycle wrecks, and pedestrian accidents are frequent throughout Texas. Sadly, they’re often entirely preventable. Common causes include distracted, reckless, drowsy, inexperienced, or impaired drivers. If you or someone you love were hurt in a motor vehicle accident, our seasoned trial lawyers can help you understand your rights and explore options for compensation.
Animal Attacks
Dog bites and other animal-related injuries can be disfiguring or even life-threatening, with the worst injuries often occurring to the most vulnerable: children and seniors. To recover damages, Texas law requires you to prove that the dog’s owner knew that their pet was aggressive or had bitten someone in the past or that they failed to use reasonable care to prevent your injuries.
Protecting Your Right to Recovery
What you do in the minutes, days, and weeks after you’re hurt can significantly affect the outcome of a personal injury lawsuit. Here are a few simple steps to protect your right to a fair recovery.
- Call for help. Report the incident to the police and summon help for your injuries.
- Gather evidence. The scene of an accident or injury is rich with information we can use to process your case. Take photos of the scene and your injuries and get contact information from involved parties and witnesses.
- Seek medical attention. See a doctor as soon as possible, follow up with your primary care provider, and complete your treatment plan as prescribed.
- Contact an experienced Texas personal injury attorney. Car accidents, dog bites, and other injurious incidents can have wide-ranging consequences. There’s far too much at stake to go it alone. Get legal guidance you can count on.
