COMPANIES ARE LIABLE FOR THEIR TRUCKS, VESSELS, AND EQUIPMENT
ACCOUNTABILITY ON THE WATER & ON THE ROADWAYS
If you or a loved one is injured due to the carelessness of others, whether from improper operating commercial vehicles, vessels or equipment, contact Charles Herd. Those liable for injuries and damages should be held responsible. For over 35 years Charles has handled these types of cases.
Negligence is one of the basic concepts upon which personal injury and other bodies of law are based. As humans, we all make mistakes. The question is whether we own our mistakes. Everyone can and should take appropriate precautions to protect themselves and others. All too often, this is as simple as establishing and following proper safety rules.
- Don’t drink and drive.
- Always wear a helmet.
- Put on your seat belt.
- Follow instructions on the job, especially on a commercial vessel or rig!
TEXAS-CERTIFIED
MEDIATION & ARBITRATION
HELPING CLIENTS IDENTIFY CRITICAL NEEDS AND SOLUTIONS QUICKLY AND AFFORDABLY
Mediation is a kind of collaborative and evaluative law where Charles Herd will meet with you and others to identify critical needs and potential solutions that work for everyone. The decisions explored, and ultimately agreed upon together, usually come about better, cheaper and faster than you would expect — especially if you compare it to waiting on the decisions of a judge, jury or arbitrator.

“THE LEGAL PROCESS IS A MARATHON, NOT A SPRINT.
STEADY PROGRESS AND PATIENCE MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.”
What a lot of people do not realize about their case is that it is never a one-and-done situation. Your legal case is not something that you can expect to get wrapped up in an expedited, weeklong process. No — depending on the legal area and your specific circumstances, the process can take anywhere from 8 months to more than a year.
That is why it is important you understand that we need to pace ourselves during the process realizing that results will not be instant.
On the bright side, this gives our legal team the time to devote the necessary attention and diligence your case requires. In this way, we can develop a great working relationship as well, so together we can be as productive as possible. Schedule your free consultation today, and let us discuss your claim and your needs.
I WILL HANDLE OR MEDIATE YOUR CASE OR DISPUTE WITH STRAIGHTFORWARD ADVICE AND FEEDBACK, WHENEVER YOU NEED IT.
