Your Catastrophic Injury Lawyer in Texas
Catastrophic injuries often result from car, auto, bus and truck accidents. Sometimes the cause is an inattentive or reckless driver. Drunk drivers have been a significant cause of car/auto accidents on our Texas roads and highways. Many times the drunk driver is the least seriously injured person in a car wreck, while innocent pedestrians or drivers who follow the rules of the road suffer serious injury or death.
Auto defects also cause a significant number of accidents. SUVs that are top-heavy can rollover, causing serious head injuries or death. A defectively manufactured tire can blowout at high speed and cause a catastrophic car wreck. We have the resources to properly investigate such cases - which often require accident reconstruction specialists, engineers, and design and safety experts. We also consult with medical experts to determine the cause and extent of injuries.
In construction accident cases, we look for third parties - other than a worker's employer - who may be responsible for the accident that caused a catastrophic injury. Workers' compensation benefits are often limited. We pursue all possible avenues of recovery to compensate for an injured construction worker's pain and suffering and decreased quality of life, in addition to all the medical and rehabilitation expenses that ensue from a catastrophic injury. Some third parties that might be involved in construction site accidents include subcontractors, architects, engineers and/or property owners. If the employer was the only responsible party, an injured worker might only be able to collect benefits under Texas workers' compensation law.
Cases with complex medical injuries require resources to properly conduct a thorough investigation. It is also usually necessary, for purposes of proving liability in a catastrophic injury claim, to obtain expert testimony and medical opinions. We handle each case we take as if it was going to trial.
Contact us now if you or a family member has suffered a catastrophic injury as the result of the negligent, reckless or wrongful behavior of another. We can meet with you at the hospital or at home to discuss the case.
