Personal injury lawyers in Houston

A personal injury lawyer in Houston deals with claims shaped by long commutes, heavy truck traffic and the energy industry. Car and 18 wheeler wrecks on the freeways, refinery and plant explosions, offshore and maritime injuries, construction falls and premises cases are all common. Medical malpractice claims against hospitals in the Texas Medical Center form a specialist field.

Texas uses proportionate responsibility, so you can recover only if you are 50% or less at fault, with damages reduced by your share. The general deadline to sue for personal injury is two years. Claims against a governmental unit, such as the City of Houston or Harris County, fall under the Texas Tort Claims Act, which limits liability and usually requires written notice within six months, and sometimes sooner under a city charter. Most larger suits are filed in the Harris County district courts, while maritime cases may go to federal court in Houston. You can check any attorney's license and discipline history on the State Bar of Texas website.

Personal injury attorneys in Houston almost always work on contingency, often taking about one third of the recovery and more if the case goes to trial. You pay no fee if there is no recovery. Ask any personal injury lawyer in Houston how case costs are deducted and who will try the case. Workplace injuries can also involve workers' compensation, and some Texas employers do not carry it. Keep photos, the crash report, medical bills and witness details. A personal injury lawyer in Houston who speaks Spanish or Vietnamese may help your family.
