Car Wrecks

A car wreck is the most likely way that we are to be injured in our daily lives. Some of these accidents are caused by careless, inattentive or negligent drivers. Other collisions occur because reckless drivers are texting, talking on a cell phone or are drunk. Alcohol-related accidents are on the rise. Car wrecks cause a major disruption to the victims’ daily routine. Numerous issues arise regarding property damage, rental car arrangements, car repair, medical expenses, lost wages, health insurance, medical liens, subrogation interests, and obtaining appropriate medical care for accident related injuries. The handling of these issues is beyond the ability of the average person and the system is full of friendly-sounding representatives who are all too willing to take advantage of the auto accident victim. If you have been involved in a car wreck you should visit our Auto Accident page at Tyler Auto Accident Attorney. For examples of auto accident cases that we have successfully handled for our clients visit:

Trucking Accidents

The East Texas highways are filled with tank trucks, 18 wheelers, log trucks, semis, cement mixers, delivery trucks, flatbeds and other commercial vehicles. The size and weight of these trucks makes them extremely dangerous to motorists in passenger cars and light trucks. Wrecks with these big rigs almost always involve serious or life threatening injuries. The insurance companies that insure commercial trucks are very aggressive and heavy handed and the average person is incapable of effectively dealing with them. If you have been involved in a wreck with a truck you should visit our Truck Accident page at Tyler Truck Accident Attorney. To see summaries of truck accident cases that we have successfully handled for our clients visit:

Motorcycle Accidents

We have handled numerous motorcycle accidents involving catastrophic injuries. Motorcycle accidents often involve spinal injuries, traumatic amputations, brain injuries, and death. The effective handling of these cases requires a Tyler injury attorney who is experienced with major damage cases. If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident you should visit Tyler Motorcycle Accident Attorney.

Dog Attacks

We have probably tried or handled more dog bite cases than any other law firm in East Texas. If you have been attacked or bitten by a Pit Bull, Rottweiler, Chow, or even a dog of a smaller breed that was acting aggressively you should visit our Dog Bite page at Tyler Dog Bite Attorney or see a summary at Tyler Dog Bite Lawyer of a recent case that we tried to a jury verdict involving a child that was mauled by a vicious dog.

Wrongful Death Damages

A Wrongful Death action accrues when someone is killed as a result of the negligent act or omission of another or as the result of a defect in a product or premises. The parents, spouse and children of the deceased victim have a right to make a claim with the assistance of a Tyler injury lawyer for wrongful death damages which include damages for the loss of the care, comfort, society, and support of the deceased as well as the mental anguish associated with the loss of a loved one. The estate of the deceased also has a right to make a Survival Claim for the personal injury damages that the deceased suffered prior to death such as the pain and suffering, physical impairment, mental anguish, lost wages, and disfigurement that the deceased suffered as a result of the fatal injuries. If you have suffered the loss of a loved one you should visit our Wrongful Death page at Tyler Wrongful Death Attorney.
