Auto Accidents:

Everyday there are thousands upon thousands of car wrecks in the state of Texas causing injury and even worse death.  You may have been seriously injured or may not be required to have life time assistance in your day to day life.  If these accidents are the cause of the negligence of another person, you are entitled to recovery.  This recovery can consist of medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.  Contact our offices to evaluate your case and asses your possible claim.  With over 17 years of experience and having represented thousands of clients, we have the understanding, knowledge, and experience you will need in order to get the compensation you deserve from all injury stemming from your auto accident.

Drunk Driving Accidents:

As residents of Texas, we have plenty to be proud living in this great state.  However, there is one statistic that is not one to brag about.  In 2008, Texas edged out California as the state with the most alcohol-related motor-vehicle fatalities and the highest number of fatalities with drivers over the .08% legal limit.  Texas injury law allows those who have been injured in a drunk driving accident to file lawsuits to recover compensation and damages.  We can help you receive payment for injuries, medical expenses and any lost income after being the victim of a drunk driver.  If a person only drank a mere few drinks, they start to lose control of their vehicles, frequently driving too fast for conditions or against oncoming traffic.  This highly increases an accident with another innocent driver or even worse; a pedestrian.  Contact us in order to find out how we may be able to help after becoming a victim of a DWI accident.

18-Wheeler Accidents:

With the rapid growth of the city of El Paso along with the relaxed trucking regulations that are part of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the United States and Mexico comes an increase in traffic of semi-automatic trucks and other commercial vehicles.  Both I-10 and US-54 have seen an increase in trucking accidents in recent years. These accidents can result in catastrophic injuries that can be caused by inexperienced and poorly trained drivers, poorly maintained equipment, roll-overs, another vehicle sliding under another, driver fatigue, excessive speed or driving too fast for road conditions, or tire blowouts.  Injuries with large trucks can occur when involving an accident with a car, a motorcycle, or a smaller truck and can be more severe because of their size.  If these accidents are the result of the truck driver’s negligence, the law provides compensation to the victims and their family members.  If you have suffered  an injury or a family member has been killed in a truck accident, contact us to evaluate your case.

Motorcycle Accidents:

Motorcycle riders are at extreme risk every time they head out on a trip; whether it’s a  short trip to the corner store or a long trip to enjoy our great west Texas sunshine.   This is because they have no seatbelt, no surrounding steel structure, and no air bag to protect them from any impact when involved in an accident.  We understand the severity of the injuries that may be incurred when involved in a motorcycle accident.  These include but are not limited to road rash, disfigurement, head and brain trauma, amputations, severe fractures of extremities, neck injury, extended hospitalization, and death.  Other drivers have an obligation to be on the look out for motorcycle riders.  This is extremely important due to the fact that many of these accidents are the result of an auto driver simply not seeing the motorcycle rider. We will fairly and thoroughly evaluate your case and inform you if you have a right to be compensated for your loss.

Pedestrian Accidents:

Accidents involving pedestrians usually involve he or she being struck but an automobile or truck.  Many times these incidents can be avoided by a driver merely following common everyday traffic laws that they have taken for granted over time. These motorists sometimes fail to yield the right of way, ignore the speed limit, run a traffic stop or signal, or fail to signal in advance of a turn. On other occasions, a driver may merely be distracted or is under the influence of alcohol or other mind altering drugs when they strike a pedestrian.    Whatever the case, we can help you obtain payment for medical expenses, lost income, and any other expenses incurred in a pedestrian accident that was caused due to the negligence of a 3rd party.

Wrongful Death:

After the death of a loved one, the last thing on your mind may be the legal issues and rights that you have as a survivor to the decedent.  These wrongful death suits can arise from a variety of different unfortunate accidents that may have occurred due to the negligence of another that include auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, DWI accidents, pedestrian accidents, construction site accidents, or product defect accidents.  When a wrongful death suit is filed, you are filing on behalf of the estate of the decedent.  It is extremely difficult to calculate the amount owed to the survivors of loved one after such an unfortunate event.  Recovery can include loss of emotional support, loss of financial support, pain and suffering, medical costs, any costs that have incurred after the accident prior to death, and loss of companionship.  We can ease the stress of dealing with these legal issues and determining a fair amount in order to take care of your family during your time of mourning and need.   Contact our offices to discuss your case.

Burn Injuries:
In the United States, approximately 2.4 million burn injuries are reported every year. Burns can be one of the most painful injuries one can sustain. Those who suffer from such injuries can face a lifetime of serious healthcare challenges. Several factors are used to determine the severity of a burn injury, including the patient's age, size and depth of burn, and the location of the burn.  Many burn injury victims have suffered their injuries as a result of defective products or improperly maintained property. Because of such negligence, some have spent years in a painful rehabilitation process and going through reconstructive surgeries in an attempt to rebuild their lives. If your life has been affected by such an injury, we will fight to help you get the compensation you deserve. Medical treatment can be extremely expensive and the average person might not understand all the medical costs involved.  Contact our office for the help needed in order for you to know your rights.

Slip and Falls:

Slip and falls are the second leading cause of injuries in the United States. They account for an estimated 16,000 deaths each year. Many more slip and falls result in serious injuries. Often these injuries and deaths are caused by a dangerous or hazardous condition in someone else's property. An injury or from a fall that is caused by a hazardous condition in another person's property may entitle the victim or the victim's family to compensation.  The traumatic impact of a slip and fall or a trip and fall accident can cause severe and long-lasting injuries. Therefore, if you suffer a slip and fall or a trip and fall, it is in your best interests that you seek medical and legal help without delay.  Call us to determine if your case entitles you to just compensation.

Dog Bite Injuries:

A dog can be your most loyal and trusted friend. But, unfortunately, many times someone else's dog, in order to protect its owner or perceived territory, attacks and causes harm. Dog bite injuries and their psychological effects can be devastating. Emergency medical attention, ongoing counseling, nerve damage, and permanent scars are often an unpleasant reality for victims. If you have been bitten or attacked by a dong, we can help you recover damages that you incurred from the attack to help offset the costs.

Construction Site Accidents:

In a growing city like El Paso, no matter where you turn you will come across a construction site of some sort.  With such great expansion come unfortunate accidents as these work sites can be the most dangerous places to work.  All construction sites must abide by all OSHA regulations and guidelines about workplace safety.  When an accident is a result of a failure to adhere to these regulations, an accident victim is entitled to receive payment for injuries incurred on these job sites.  Other accidents are the result of defects of equipment or poor training of laborers by contractors or subcontractors.  Many of these accidents injure the victim severely, leave them permanently disabled, or in the worst case scenario cause death.  Our office can help you obtain compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, or lost wages.  We will be glad to evaluate your case to determine if you are entitled to any fair compensation. 

Work Place Injuries:

Some jobs are more dangerous than others, but every employee still deserves a safe workplace. If you were injured on the job, then your employer failed to create a safe work environment … and ultimately violated your rights.  You deserve compensation for your injuries, but it can be difficult to recover a fair settlement without the help of an attorney. In addition, you may be eligible for compensation you weren't aware of.  Fortunately, in some worksite injury cases there are others involved in the accident that may be responsible for the injury.  We look for these so- called “third parties” to sue who may be required to pay full damages, including pain and suffering, if they are found to be liable.  Contact our office and find out how we may help you if you were injured at work.
