Awards & Recognition
Practice Areas
Experienced representation across all personal injury cases.
Car Accidents
Rear-end collisions, T-bone accidents, head-on crashes, rollovers, multi-vehicle pileups, and hit-and-run incidents. We handle cases involving distracted driving, drunk driving, speeding, and reckless behavior.
Learn MoreTruck Accidents
18-wheelers, semi-trucks, and commercial vehicle collisions. We navigate federal regulations, identify multiple liable parties, obtain black box data, and work with accident reconstruction experts.
Learn MoreMotorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle riders face unique dangers on the road. We fight to protect riders' rights and secure fair compensation for injuries caused by negligent drivers.
Learn MoreSlip and Fall Accidents
Property owners have a duty to maintain safe premises. When they fail, we hold them accountable for injuries caused by hazardous conditions.
Learn MoreWork Injuries
Workplace accidents can leave you unable to earn a living. We help injured workers pursue the compensation they need to recover and support their families.
Learn MoreWrongful Death
When negligence takes a life, surviving family members deserve justice. Texas law allows spouses, children, parents, and estates to pursue wrongful death claims within 2 years.
Learn MoreDog Bites
Dog owners are responsible for controlling their animals. We help victims of dog attacks recover compensation for medical treatment, scarring, and emotional trauma.
Learn MoreUber & Lyft Accidents
Rideshare accidents involve complex insurance layers. Uber and Lyft carry up to $1 million in coverage, but getting access to it requires knowing which phase of the ride the driver was in at the time of the crash.
Learn MorePedestrian Accidents
Houston is one of the deadliest cities for pedestrians in the United States. When a vehicle strikes a person on foot, the injuries are almost always severe. We fight for pedestrians hit by negligent, distracted, and impaired drivers.
Learn MoreDrunk Driving Accidents
Drunk driving accidents often result in catastrophic injuries and death. Texas law allows victims to pursue both compensatory and punitive damages against impaired drivers — and in many cases, against the bars and restaurants that over-served them.
Learn MoreSpinal Cord & Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries change everything in an instant. Spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, and severe burns demand a lawyer who will fight for lifetime compensation — not a quick settlement.
Learn MoreConstruction Accidents
Houston's construction boom makes it one of the most dangerous cities in the country for construction workers. Falls, electrocutions, struck-by incidents, and equipment failures cause severe injuries. We pursue full damages against negligent contractors and property owners.
