Personal Injury

After a serious injury, you need a plan—and an advocate who knows how to deal with insurers, preserve evidence, and pursue the full compensation the law allows. We help clients navigate liability insurance, personal injury protection (PIP), medical payments (MedPay), and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM), while we build the strongest case for your recovery.

Proudly serving Fannin, Lamar, Hunt, Red River, Grayson, Delta, Collin, Cooke, and Hopkins counties.

WE ARE PROUD TO OFFER

The Following Services

Auto Accidents

Whether the crash involved reckless driving, mechanical error, or alcohol, we protect your rights from the start.

• Insurance navigation: liability, PIP, MedPay, UM/UIM
• Property damage help plus bodily-injury claims (medical costs, lost wages, future losses)
• Early evidence preservation: photos, event-data recorders, 911/body-cam, witnesses
• Settlement strategy and litigation when needed

DWI-Related Crashes

Alcohol- or drug-impaired driving cases require a focused approach to liability and damages.

• Rapid scene and records work (toxicology, bar receipts, prior incidents if relevant)
• Punitive-damages evaluation and dram-shop analysis where applicable
• Coordination with parallel criminal proceedings

Workplace Injury

Injuries on the job can involve workers’ compensation, non-subscriber claims, or third-party liability.

• Determine all responsible parties (employer, contractors, product manufacturers)
• Coordinate benefits, liens, and subrogation while pursuing third-party recovery
• Serious injuries: orthopedic, burn, TBI, spine, amputation

Tire & Automotive Defects

Defective design or manufacturing can cause catastrophic failures at speed.

• Tread separation and resulting loss of control (especially at highway speeds)
• Issues seen in investigations: inadequate bonding, moisture/contamination, aging stock
• Other hazards: multi-piece rim repairs, sidewall “zipper” failures, bead fractures, high-speed spin-off, ozone cracking
• Evidence steps: preserve the tire/wheel, maintain chain of custody, retain qualified experts

Child Safety Seat Injuries

Child restraints are highly effective when properly designed and installed—yet misuse and defects still cause severe harm.

• Investigate design/manufacturing defects, labeling/instruction issues, and misuse factors
• Download vehicle data, inspect anchor systems, and retain biomechanical experts
• Pursue accountability for head, brain, and spinal injuries

Dangerous Drugs & Medical Devices

We evaluate pharmaceutical and device claims, including historical matters you noted and current investigations.

• Metal-on-metal hip systems; complications from debris and tissue damage
• Accutane-related gastrointestinal injury (e.g., IBD) evaluations
• Hormonal birth-control risks (e.g., certain formulations associated with clotting events)
• Examples reflect prior investigations; contact us to discuss current litigation status and deadlines.

Asbestos / Mesothelioma

Occupational and secondary exposures can lead to severe disease, including mesothelioma and lung cancer.

• Exposure-history development (worksites, trades, take-home exposure)
• Medical coordination and qualified expert review
• Claims evaluation against manufacturers, premises owners, and other responsible parties

Reckless Endangerment

When conduct shows conscious indifference to safety, we pursue full accountability.

• Pattern-of-conduct and notice evidence
• Punitive-damages assessment where the law permits

Sexual Harassment

Civil claims for harassment may arise alongside employment or premises-liability theories.

• Preserve messages, emails, photos, and complaint histories
• Coordinate with administrative processes when required
• Confidential, trauma-informed approach

Defamation & Slander

Reputation injuries can cause real economic and personal harm.

• Analyze false statements, publication, and damages
• Demand letters, retractions, and negotiated resolutions
• Litigation strategy where necessary

Damages We Pursue

• Medical costs (past & future), rehabilitation, and life-care planning
• Lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and household services
• Impairment, disfigurement, pain and suffering, and mental anguish
• Property damage and incidental expenses

How We Work

• Listen first. We explain your rights and insurance options before any claim decisions.
• Preserve evidence early. Scene inspections, records requests, expert engagement.
• Negotiate from strength. We prepare every case as if it will be tried.

Every case is unique. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. This page is for information only and does not create an attorney-client relationship.
