Planes and helicopters crash for a variety of reasons, the most common being component failure and pilot error. The investigation and work-up of aviation accidents requires the utilization of experienced experts to guide our litigation strategies, as well as a familiarity with the federal and state laws which come into play in these tragic cases. Aviation accidents initially provoke an investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which strives to independently preserve evidence and make determinations of cause. The NTSB’s investigation can take months and even years. We work in association with law firms around the country that specialize in aviation cases, and additionally lend our own expertise in Texas litigation and probate practices and procedures. If you or someone you love has been injured in an aviation accident, let us know.

“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.
