Cases We Handle in Downtown Houston

Serving Downtown Houston since 1979 means that we have seen many types of personal injury cases. Below is a list of some more common Downtown Houston accidents.

Bus Accidents

If you are driving through Downtown Houston on a regular basis, you better learn to pause extra-long at the stoplights. Our bus accident lawyers have seen numerous cases where a bus driver tries to time the lights and does not even come close to entering and clearing the intersection before the light turns red. Many car drivers do the same thing simply because they are lost or not paying attention to the light. Simmons and Fletcher, P.C. have experience in holding drivers who run red lights responsibly.

Rideshare Accidents

Lyft and Uber accidents are, unfortunately, a common occurrence in Downtown Houston. Although these drivers drive for a living, they are not professionally trained and can make mistakes when unfamiliar with the area. We have successfully settled these kinds of cases.

Fall Protection Failure Cases

The fall protection lawyers at Simmons and Fletcher, P.C. are experienced in helping victims injured in Downtown Houston after their employer or a contractor failed to provide proper fall protection. People at risk for this include window washers, construction workers, repairmen, exterior building painters, and others who work on elevations requiring lifts, scaffolding, and/or fall safety systems. If your employer fails you, call us.

Downtown Houston is home to many public facilities, from sports arenas to performing arts theaters to shops and bars. Property owners have a legal obligation to conduct a reasonable inspection to make the property reasonably safe for the people they invite in as patrons.
