Slip / Trip / Fall Cases

“Slip and fall” or “trip and fall” cases are common in tourist towns. If a hazardous or concealed condition has caused you or a loved one to be injured by a slip or trip, let us know. Defendants in these types of cases will always want to blame your own carelessness for having caused your slip or trip. Refuting this contention becomes a prominent component of the handling of these cases, because under Texas law, an injured person is barred from recovery if they are found to be more at fault for their injury than whomever they’re suing. It becomes very important then to get photos of the condition that caused your injury, and if possible, to get the names and contact information of anyone who may have seen your trip or slip. Our investigation into these types of cases typically involves an inspection of the accident site, the interviewing of any witnesses, and the requesting of any videotape of the accident itself.

Auto Accidents

Automobile accident cases need to be handled correctly, or they can last too long and result in too little recovery. For over 20 years, we’ve been handling automobile accident cases resulting in serious and catastrophic injury, including death. We can all do our part in reducing the incidence of auto accidents. Take our pledge not to text, talk or surf the net while driving, and encourage your friends and family to take our pledge as well.

If you’ve been injured in an automobile accident which was not your fault, you should do the following:

  1. Contact your insurance carrier to report the accident;
  2. Find out which auto insurance coverages you have, including UM-UIM and Med-Pay coverages;
  3. Get examined by your primary care physician so appropriate medical treatment can be arranged;
  4. Do NOT speak with representatives of the negligent driver’s insurance carrier.
