Through this process our lawyers will begin the process of identifying the best strategy to prosecute your claim and gather the evidence necessary, so you are able to collect the maximum benefits and compensation you deserve. A brief description of some types of accidents we handle every day and offer representation in the South Texas area, including the Rio Grande Valley are noted below:
- Work Injury Cases – These cases are often complicated and there may be multiple ways to recover compensation. Our firm has experience in all types of work injury cases. We actively handle workers’ compensation claims (WC) AND Non-subscriber claims (this means employers who do not carry workers’ comp insurance for their employees). In either a WC claim or non-subscriber claim there may also be a 3rd party claim. Non-subscriber claims require that an employer or their employee is merely 1% negligent and often are require arbitration. A non-subscriber employer may not be sued for wrongful termination, so it is important to gather evidence quickly and carefully. The faster a law firm is hired and brought in the greater likelihood that evidence will be preserved that can help prove your case. Call us today if you have been injured at work to determine what benefits are available and to maximum your interest and recovery.
- Workers Compensation Cases – If your employer tells you they have a workers’ compensation plan, it may be a subscriber to and covered under the rules of the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act (Subscriber plans) or it may be some other form of workers compensation plan in which case if your employer or one of your fellow employees was negligent and caused your injuries, you may be eligible for treatment under the plan and may hold your employer liable for negligence (these are called non-subscriber plans). If you are terminated for filing a WC claim and your employer has WC, you can file a claim for wrongful termination. We actively handle both workers’ compensation claims (WC) covered by the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act and non-subscriber claims (this means employers who do not carry workers’ comp insurance for their employees). Our Rio Grande Valley Firm is unique in that we are one of the very few firms in the Rio Grande Valley that actively and aggressively handle BOTH Personal Injury Cases AND Workers’ Compensation Cases every single day. It is very important to determine whether there exists a 3rd party claim when filing a WC claim and if there is that BOTH claims are effectively managed to maximize your recovery. There are certain provisions in the Workers’ Compensation Act that could act to detrimentally effect your 3rd party negligence claim if not handled properly. We strongly urge you to choose a law firm that is willing and can handle BOTH your WC claim and your 3rd party PI claim to obtain the best result.
- Oil Field AND Construction Accidents – Many who live in the Rio Grande Valley work in the oil field industry and the construction industry have a particularly high risk of being hurt on the job. Injured workers also include office workers, warehouse workers, factory workers, and public transportation workers, among many other occupations. If you are injured while working on an oil field, you usually are covered by workers compensation and if you are injured by another contractor or their employee or by a dangerous condition, you may be able to file a Personal Injury claim if your injuries are caused by a 3rd party’s negligence. If your Rio Grande Valley employer does NOT carry workers compensation, you can file a Personal Injury claim against your employer if there is only 1% negligence on your employer, another employee, or an agent of your employer. If you are terminated OR discriminated against for hiring a lawyer or filing a WC claim and your employer subscribes to a workers compensation plan under the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act you can file a claim against your employer.
- Commercial Vehicle/Truck AND Auto Accidents – Commercial Vehicle accidents are not typical auto accidents and require more time and effort to identify the proper parties and secure evidence. Automotive accidents are some of the most common types of cases Rio Grande Valley accident injury lawyers come across. Causes can include everything from driver error to malfunctioning vehicles. If you were injured in a crash, it is imperative that you hire an attorney so that you receive prompt medical treatment without having to pay up front, that evidence is preserved and that you don’t waive your right to receive the full amount of compensation you deserve. Our attorneys will help you prove the liability of the other party so you can collect the compensation you deserve, whether you were injured by a commercial vehicle or truck or by the negligence of another driving their own vehicle.
Getting hurt at work often means you’ll be eligible for workers comp, but your case might also qualify for more. Find out if you can seek further compensation through a personal injury claim.
A collision with a semi-truck can destroy your health, vehicle, emotional wellbeing, and future. Our lawyers will ensure that your compensation accounts for everything you’ve been through.

Personal injury law is incredibly involved and complex, and in order to obtain the compensation you deserve, you need to be skilled in a variety of ways.

For one, it ensures that you don’t accidentally say the wrong thing, making yourself liable for your injuries.
