NEGLIGENT INJURY LITIGATION
EVERY CLIENT AND EVERY CASE MATTERS AT HERD LAW FIRM
If you are involved in a vehicle wreck and it is the fault of a drunk driver, then that driver is negligent and has violated the law! Negligence can arise in many situations. Here are examples of injury types for which damages can be awarded, including taking care of your medical bills and recovering lost income:
CAR, TRUCK, BIKE OR MOTORCYCLE WRECKS
As you know, horrible things can happen on the road. In many cases, companies or businesses are liable for collisions caused by their large semi-trucks/18-wheelers. Always be alert and wary, especially if you are on foot or a bicycle.
TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES (TBI’S)
Traumatic brain injury can be caused by a fall, a blow to the head or even severe whiplash. Regardless of how you or your loved one came to be injured, what matters now is getting the medical care you need and having an experienced personal injury attorney on your side. In recent years, Herd Law Firm has had tremendous success with getting traumatic brain injury clients well compensated for their pain and suffering.
PREMISES LIABILITY CASES
These claims often include slip and fall cases in situations where you become injured on someone else’s property that should have been properly secured.
CHEMICAL EXPOSURE CASES
People are amazed when they learn what harmful chemicals and products, including asbestos, they have been exposed to, having never been aware of it. Charles has successfully handled mesothelioma cases involving ships’ officers and crewmembers, as well as crewmembers of commercial vessels, where hazardous chemicals were released and they were exposed. Sadly, this has happened to thousands of Gulf Coast residents after the BP Oil Spill in 2010, and they are still dealing with the negative consequences.

TEXAS PERSONAL INJURY LAWS
Some Texas-specific laws to keep in mind when it comes to personal injury law include:
- Time Limits-For the vast majority of personal injury claims, you must file suit within two years of the injury. If you intend to sue a Texas governmental entity, then you must file a claim with intent to do so within six months of the injury.
- Shared Fault (comparative negligence) Texas courts may decide that you must own up to a percentage of the fault for your injury, which will proportionately affect any damages you receive. For instance, if your brake lights are not working at the time of the rear-ender wreck in which you were injured, you may be held to be partially at fault.
- Damage Caps-These limits on your damages apply to medical malpractice cases and some claims against governmental entities.
