Employment Law

• Workers Compensation
  Our client was injured at work, and his employer covered all of his medical expenses through workers compensation insurance. His injuries included burns to his body and a separated shoulder. Based on the circumstances, we sued the owner of the facility where the injury occurred and engaged in extensive litigation. After numerous depositions and hearings, we were able to obtain a $600,000.00 settlement for our client. The net cash recovery to our client was $324,773.00 in an addition to an agreement whereby he was not required to repay workers’ compensation for his medical bills totaling over $100,000.00.

Property Law

• Property Damage

• DUI/DWI
  Prior to the accident, Brandon worked in construction and relied on his body to provide for his family. Because of one woman’s choice to drive after drinking, that ability, and the ability to do so many other things, was taken from him forever. Sadly, Brandon’s story is not unique or uncommon. Drunk driving auto accidents ruin lives every single day, and are especially common during holidays.
• Wrongful Death
  When someone is killed because of the negligence of another person or entity, surviving family members may seek to hold the responsible party accountable by filing a wrongful death lawsuit.
• Traffic Violations
  If you engage in lane splitting and are injured in an accident, it will be difficult for you to recover compensation for your losses because lane splitting is a violation of the law. In addition, you risk receiving expensive tickets and adding points to your license. As always, we advise that you obey the Texas law regarding lane splitting to avoid injury and traffic violations.
• Misdemeanors
  (c-1) A person commits an offense if the person does not comply with the requirements of Subsection (b).  An offense under this subsection is a Class C misdemeanor.
• Assault
• Murder
  Murder is a criminal term. While a murder can form the basis of a wrongful death claim, such claims are complicated in the civil context because of their intentional nature. Wrongful death is a civil term to describe a claim seeking to recover compensation for the responsible party actions or inactions in causing a person’s accidental death. A wrongful death claim or a civil case does not lead to a person’s incarceration.
