Testimonials

Tony, I can't tell you what a blessing you and your team have been during the most tragic time in our lives. By taking over the responsibility of dealing with the hospital bills and insurance companies you've allowed me to focus on my duties as a father and husband.
My family and I just want to thank you for everything you have done and dedication in this car seat case.
I will always keep your professionalism in my heart! Thank you again Chad and Vanessa!
I went to a local lawyer to help my father and I after we were injured in an 18 Wheeler crash. That lawyer brought in another lawyer. Finally, Chad came on board and got our case resolved.

A study by the Department of Transportation (DOT) uncovered numerous reasons for motorcycle crashes. The study revealed that in a six-year period, from 1990 to 1996, approximately 11,000 riders died and 255,000 sustained injuries in motorcycle wrecks. These figures increased by nearly 22 percent for the years 1998 to 1999.

The study revealed that motorcycle wreck fatalities occurred more often in certain situations. For instance, fatalities tended to increase on rural roads, at night, and on undivided roadways.

Because a motorcyclist has limited protection other than a helmet or protective clothing, substantial injuries may result from a crash. Common injuries include spinal injuries, road burns, and traumatic brain injury. Treatment may include physical therapy or surgery, and long-term treatment is sometimes necessary.

If you have sustained injuries in a motorcycle wreck in Houston, you may be able to recover compensation from the person responsible, even if you were not wearing a helmet. A motorcycle accident attorney at our firm may be able to help. Call 713-807-9500 or 877-307-9500 to schedule a free consultation.
