Car Accidents
Car accidents can result in serious injuries to drivers and passengers, including the following:
Brain Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries may result when a vehicle occupant hits their head on a hard surface, or the force of the impact is so severe it causes the brain to crash into the interior of the skull. These injuries can result in long-term effects to victims and impair a victim’s quality of life.
Catastrophic Injuries
Some car accidents can result in catastrophic injuries that result in the loss of a limb, loss of a major bodily function, disfigurement, or other serious injury which can negatively impact a victim for years to come.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Soft tissue injuries can occur when muscles, tendons, or ligaments are torn during an accident. These injuries may not always appear on objective medical imaging tests, but they are often very painful to their victims.
Fractures
Any bone can potentially break during a car accident, including the pelvic bone, hip, leg, arm, wrist, hand, etc.

Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists are at greater risk of suffering a serious injury — like a brain injury or spinal cord injury — if they are involved in an accident, due to limited external protection. Motorcyclists may encounter exorbitant medical bills and may become permanently disabled. An Austin personal injury lawyer can help negotiate a fair settlement on behalf of motorcycle accident victims.

Mass Torts
Mass torts refer to significant harm done to a large number of people committed by a single defendant. These can involve environmental claims such as illegal dumping, pollution, or the release of harmful chemicals that have harmed a number of people. By joining a mass tort case, you and other people who were harmed in a similar way may be able to pool your resources and strengthen your claim by working together.
Slips and Falls
People may slip and fall on a property that is privately or publicly owned. Slips and falls are often due to dangerous conditions, such as:
- Broken sidewalks
- Potholes in parking lots
- Torn carpet or broken tile
- Missing or broken steps
- Wet or slick surfaces
- Surfaces that are not promptly cleaned up after a spill

Construction Accidents
Because construction sites often involve several different supervisors, companies, and legal principles, they are often complicated. Our team can evaluate your claim and explain your legal rights and options for pursuing compensation after being injured in a construction accident.
Dog Bites
If you were bitten by a vicious dog, you may be able to recover compensation for:
- Emergency treatment
- Surgery costs
- Follow-up treatment
- Physical therapy
- Psychological counseling
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
Oilfield Accidents
Texas is one of the world’s biggest oil producers. However, this profession is one of the most dangerous ones in the world. Heavy machinery, high temperatures, and the potential for combustion increase the potential danger to workers. Our team would be happy to discuss your case with you and explain whether special federal programs may apply based on your employer and where the accident occurred.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians who are hit by a vehicle are often killed or suffer a catastrophic injury due to their lack of protection against a machine of crushing metal. Many pedestrian accidents occur when a pedestrian is legally crossing the street, but a driver is undertaking dangerous behavior such as:
- Texting while driving
- Passing another vehicle at a crosswalk
- Drinking and driving
- Turning left without looking for pedestrians
- Speeding
Wrongful Death
If someone’s negligence caused the death of your loved one in the same manner that a personal injury claim would have been viable against them, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim. The purpose of this type of claim is to seek justice against someone whose carelessness took your loved one’s life away.
While no amount of compensation can ever return your loved one to you, this type of claim may help ease some of the financial burden caused by the unexpected death of your loved one.
