Baytown Personal Injury Attorneys

Injuries can occur in many different ways and happen on a regular basis. Traffic accidents alone accounted for hundreds of injuries in Baytown in a single year, some of which were serious or even fatal. Consider these Baytown car accident statistics:

• Total crashes = 2,494
• Possible injuries = 534
• Injuries = 256
• Incapacitating injuries = 51
• Fatalities = 14

Thousands more persons suffer injuries in other types of accidents, many of which happen because someone else acted carelessly. We regularly help victims after the following accidents.

• Car accidents – Let’s be honest, the drivers in Baytown can be dangerous! Drivers often speed, text while driving, or even drive after drinking. Negligent and reckless driving can cause car crashes and serious injuries to innocent motorists. We know how to seek compensation from the insurance companies for dangerous drivers.
• 18-Wheeler and commercial truck accidents – Truck drivers should be the most careful drivers on the road since they operate such large and dangerous vehicles. Unfortunately, truck drivers often violate the law and drive carelessly, leading to devastating crashes. We know the trucking industry inside and out, including how to hold drivers and trucking companies liable for your losses.
• Drunk driving accidents – Every single person should know that drunk driving can cause injuries and death. Still, there are many intoxicated drivers on the road at any given moment. A criminal DUI case will do little to compensate drunk driving accident victims for their losses, so our attorneys work to hold drunk drivers accountable to the full extent of the law and seek the payment they deserve.
• Bicycle accidents – The weather in Baytown is often great for biking, and drivers should always share the road with cyclists. Unfortunately, drivers can often get impatient with cyclists or may be too distracted to notice a cyclist near them and crashes regularly happen. Cyclists have very little protection in a crash and often suffer multiple traumatic injuries.
• Motorcycle accidents – There are many bikers in the Lone Star State. Whether motorcyclists are on the open road or in city traffic, there is always the risk of a serious crash. Motorcycle accidents can occur due to dangerous drivers, dangerous roads, or defective bikes, among other causes. Like bicyclists, motorcyclists also often suffer severe injuries when they crash.
• Pedestrian accidents – Whether they are crossing the street, walking across a parking lot, or on a sidewalk, pedestrians are everywhere in the Baytown area. When drivers aren’t paying attention, fail to yield, or make other mistakes, they can crash into pedestrians, often causing life-threatening injuries. For many pedestrians, life is never the same after an accident, and they can incur astronomical losses.
• Construction site accidents – Construction sites are dangerous places for anyone. Construction workers and bystanders regularly suffer serious injuries due to falls, electrical accidents, getting hit by falling objects, power tool accidents, heavy machinery accidents, road work zone crashes, and more. Workers’ compensation is not always enough to compensate an injured construction worker, and you may have the right to seek additional payment based on another person’s negligence.
• Premises liability claims – Sometimes, injuries happen because of a hazard in a store or on someone else’s property. You may be in Walmart or another business, and you suddenly slip on a wet floor or trip over objects left in a walkway. Both slip and fall and trip and fall accidents can cause surprisingly serious injuries, such as concussions, broken bones, soft tissue injuries, and more.
