Acres Home Personal Injury Lawyer

The History of the Acres Home Neighborhood in Houston, TX

Acres Home was founded during the World War I era, when landowners began to sell off plots of land that were big enough for a modest house, small garden, and reasonable space for farm animals. Because these plots were sold by the acre and not by the lot, the community was named Acres Home.

For decades, Acres Home was considered to be the largest unincorporated Black community in the South. Throughout the late-20th century, the neighborhood saw periods of growth and decline, with it ultimately evolving into a large working-class neighborhood by the 1980s. Today, Acres Home remains a predominantly African-American neighborhood. Much of the community is forested or residential, with many of the 54,676 residents keeping up the historic practice of keeping animals—usually horses—at their homes.

Our Personal Injury Law Firm’s Primary Practice Areas in Acres Home

Simmons & Fletcher, P.C. has a long track record of handling a variety of personal injury cases. Some of the most common types of claims we take on in Acres Home include vehicle collisions, truck crashes, slip and fall accidents, and wrongful death incidents.

Car Accidents

In 2023, 301.254 billion miles were driven in Texas. With so many drivers on the road, it’s unfortunate but unsurprising that so many car accidents happen in the Houston area. If you’ve been hurt in a car crash in or around the Acres Home community, our legal team can help you recover financial, physical, and emotional damages.

Truck Accidents

With several major freight corridors intersecting across North Houston, the frequency of commercial truck collisions is greater than anyone would like. If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck accident, our attorneys can negotiate on your behalf with trucking companies and insurers. We can do everything in our power to protect your interests and pursue full compensation for your financial and emotional losses.

Motorcycle Accidents

Whether you’re cruising down Tidwell or commuting via Antoine, motorcyclists in Acres Home can face unique dangers on the road, especially due to the lack of protection that their vehicle provides. A single reckless driver can fail to accommodate your smaller vehicle and cause life-changing injuries in an instant. Our attorneys understand the challenges you may be facing, and we can work tirelessly to prevent you from being unjustly blamed for or burdened with the aftermath of a motorcycle accident that wasn’t your fault.

Slip & Fall

Grocery stores, gas stations, apartment complexes, and other pieces of property in Acres Home are required to provide safe conditions for visitors. If you slipped on an unmarked spill in a convenience store or tripped over a piece of broken pavement on a city sidewalk, then you may be entitled to seek damages in a slip and fall claim. Our firm can help you determine whether a property owner breached their duty of care and guide you through the ensuing legal process.

Wrongful Death

No amount of money can replace a loved one who’s been taken too soon. But if someone you care about lost their life due to a seemingly preventable accident, you may be able to seek justice through a wrongful death claim. If you file that claim with the help of Simmons & Fletcher, we’ll provide you and your family with not just legal advice, but also heartfelt support and compassion during a time of unimaginable loss.

What Does It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer in Acres Home?

Our firm works entirely on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t owe us a dime unless we win your case. If we do win your case, we’ll be paid a previously agreed upon percentage of your legal compensation. This approach is based on our strongly-held belief that quality legal representation should be available to everyone, regardless of their financial status.

Statute of Limitations in Acres Home for Personal Injury Cases

According to Texas law, you only have two years from the date of an injury to file a claim. Waiting to file until after this deadline—known as the statute of limitations—may result in you losing your right to claim any compensation. The sooner you speak with a resourceful personal injury lawyer, the better your chances are of preserving important evidence, protecting your rights, and receiving compensation for your damages.
