Car Crashes
Car crashes are among the most frequent personal injury cases in Texas. With thousands of miles of roadways and a high volume of traffic, crashes happen frequently and when least expected. Whether caused by distracted driving, speeding, or driving under the influence, car crashes often result in significant injuries and forever alter lives. Victims may suffer from spine or disc injuries, whiplash, broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, and more. At Gilbert Adams Law Offices, we help clients deal with insurance companies and pursue full compensation for their injuries and losses.
Truck Collisions
Texas highways see a substantial amount of commercial truck traffic, leading to a high rate of truck collisions. These impacts are particularly dangerous due to the size and weight of commercial trucks compared to passenger vehicles. Common causes include driver fatigue, improper maintenance, and overloaded cargo. The legal process in truck collision cases can be complicated, involving multiple parties such as the truck driver, trucking company, and insurers. Our firm has the expertise to handle these intricate cases and fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.
Workplace Injuries
Workplace injuries are common in Texas, especially in industries such as construction, oil and gas, and manufacturing. These incidents can range from falls and machinery malfunctions to exposure to hazardous substances. While workers’ compensation is sometimes available for injured workers, there are situations where additional legal action may be necessary. This can include cases involving third-party negligence or dangerous or defective equipment, or when the employer does not subscribe to state-approved workers’ comp. Gilbert Adams Law Offices can help you explore all available legal avenues to ensure you receive the compensation you need for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
Premises Liability
Premises liability cases arise when someone is injured on another person’s property due to unsafe conditions. This category includes slips, trips and falls, dog bites, and injuries caused by negligent security. Property owners have a duty to maintain a safe environment for visitors. When they fail to do so, they can be held liable for any resulting injuries. Our attorneys are skilled at investigating these incidents, gathering evidence, and holding property owners accountable for their negligence.
Products Liability
Defective or dangerous products can cause severe injuries or even death. Product liability cases involve holding manufacturers, distributors, and retailers responsible for putting unsafe products into the hands of consumers. These can include defective auto parts, contaminated food, unsafe toys, and faulty medical devices. These cases often require extensive investigation and expert testimony. The team at Gilbert Adams Law Offices is well-versed in product liability law and committed to securing just compensation for those harmed by defective products.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is devastating. Wrongful death cases in Texas allow family members to seek compensation for the loss of their loved one, including medical expenses, funeral costs, lost income, and loss of companionship. These cases are emotionally challenging and legally complex, requiring compassionate and skilled legal representation. Our firm is dedicated to helping families through this difficult time and ensuring they receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
