Personal Injury

Some of the most devastating injuries that a person can suffer are those to our central nervous system. A person who suffers a brain or spinal cord injury will be left with some degree of permanent disability for the rest of his or her life.

At The Hughes Law Firm, our lawyers represent people who suffer serious injuries in motor vehicle accents, construction accidents and from other types of negligence. Our lawyers have obtained multimillion dollar awards for our clients, including $1.2 million settlement of a lawsuit for a man who suffered a traumatic brain injury in a truck accident in Harris county.

If you or a loved one has suffered a life-changing injury, our lawyers will hire economists and life care planners who will help us document the amount of money that is needed to provide financial security for a lifetime. You will only have one opportunity to seek compensation from the negligent party. If you settle your case for too little money, you and your family could be impoverished by medical bills and lost wages after a few years.

There are many drivers in Texas who either do not have insurance or who have minimal amounts of insurance coverage.  If you are injured by a driver who has no insurance coverage, we know how to investigate to determine all available coverages.  If you are injured by someone that has minimal amounts of insurance coverage, then we are equipped to determine if any additional coverage applies including underinsured motorist coverage in order to provide additional recovery for our clients.

Most people are not aware of coverages that may be applicable. If you have auto insurance in Texas, your insurance company is required to offer coverage for uninsured and underinsured drivers unless you decline it in writing.

If you, a loved one or a friend is injured in a car or 18-wheeler accident, please make sure and note the following:

• Get medical treatment right away: Your health and safety are critical. Make sure you receive the medical care you need;
• Call the police: Make sure an accident report is filed with the police, sheriff or state troopers;
• Document the accident and get witnesses: If you are able to, use your phone to take photographs of your damaged vehicle, your injuries and the other vehicle(s) involved in the accident. Get the names and contact information of witnesses. Be sure to obtain information from other drivers;
• Do not talk to another party’s insurance company until you seek legal advice: Insurance companies have teams of lawyers and trained adjusters. As an injury victim, you need someone on your side to protect your interests and help you make sure your medical and financial needs are taken care of;
• Find an experienced attorney to represent you: In the vast majority of car accident cases, having legal representation will net more compensation for the victim.

Drunk driving car crashes occur far too often in Texas, like they do elsewhere across the United States. Whether it’s that one more drink for the road following a business meeting, or an underage driver sneaking home on the back roads: all can be recipes for disaster. A drunk or tipsy driver is still driving under the influence of alcohol, endangering all those who share the road with him or her.

Distracted drivers kill and seriously injure thousands of people each year in Texas. Everyone knows it is against the law to text and drive. And anyone with common sense knows you shouldn’t be staring at a smartphone, Snapchatting, looking at your Facebook timeline, using an iPad, eating a meal or watching television while operating a motor vehicle. Yet it happens all the time in Texas.

The problem goes beyond the more obviously negligent acts of texting and accessing the internet behind the wheel. Just like you need legal advice if an alcohol-impaired driver injured you, you need guidance if you were hurt in a distracted driving accident.

We all love when medical breakthroughs occur. In fat, drug companies put new medications on the market on a regular basis, promising relief and freedom from debilitating symptoms and pain. Manufacturers churn out new medical devices each year that are supposed to fix knees, hips and other parts of our bodies. Doctors and surgeons are eager to help their patients and provide cures for their ailments.

Unfortunately, negligence by a drug company, facility or provider can lead to serious injuries, illnesses or deaths. If you or a loved one is a victim of a medical mistake — such as a medication error or defective medical device — seek the advice of an attorney.
