  • Car Accidents

    A serious car collision in Houston is reconstructed from more than the crash report. The review gathers agency, vehicle, video, medical, and work records and tests each account against them.

  • Truck Accidents

    A commercial-truck collision is investigated as an operation. The carrier, the owners of the tractor and trailer, the driver’s employer, the loader, and the maintenance provider each hold records the roadway evidence cannot supply.

  • Maritime Accidents

    Maritime injury matters turn on the setting, the injured person’s role, and the vessel connection. The review maps the operation, identifies who holds the records, and reserves the legal-framework question for individual analysis.

  • Wrongful Death

    A wrongful-death matter in Texas has two connected records: the event that caused the death, and the family and estate context that determines who may act. The firm investigates the first and handles the second with care.

    Injured by a Borrowed Car?

    When the driver who hit you did not own the car, the owner’s policy may cover a permitted borrower, but permission, policy limits, and driver exclusions affect that coverage, and coverage is a separate question from whether the owner is personally responsible.
