The History of the Rice University Neighborhood in Houston, TX

The Rice University community is located in the southwest section of Houston, near to Texas Medical Center, Rice Village, and West University Place. The university itself was founded in 1891 as the Rice Institute, which (at the time) was outside of Houston’s city limits. As Rice University and its surrounding neighborhoods grew, however, so did Houston. Today, Rice University and its population of about 3,335 students who live on campus are official residents of the city of Houston.

Our Personal Injury Law Firm’s Primary Practice Areas in Rice University

The personal injury attorneys at Simmons & Fletcher have experience handling a range of accident types and legal claims—from motor vehicle crashes to slip and falls:

Car Accidents

In 2024, 307.490 billion vehicle miles were traveled on Texas roads. With such a high number of people and cars on the roads, it’s unsurprising (but still upsetting) that so many accidents happen in and around Houston. If you’ve been personally impacted by a motor vehicle crash near Rice University or anywhere nearby, our car accident attorneys can help.

Truck Accidents

Large commercial trucks regularly travel through the Houston area, but when they’re operated without proper safety procedures, they can cause catastrophic damage. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident that wasn’t your fault, we can help you pursue justice and hold negligent trucking companies accountable.

Motorcycle Accidents

While riding a motorcycle through city streets can certainly offer a sense of freedom and fun, it also brings a degree of risk. Motorcyclists are often less protected and less visible than other drivers on the road, meaning that motorcycle crashes can result in devastating injuries. At Simmons & Fletcher, P.C., we’ve successfully represented numerous motorcyclists who’ve been hurt while riding, and we hope to do the same for you.

Slip & Fall

From coffee shops along Rice Boulevard to community events at Reckling Park, the area around Rice University is vibrant and full of life, but it’s not immune to hazards. If you slipped on the floor of a local shop or tripped on the deck of a private home, our team can evaluate whether or not you have a potential slip and fall accident claim.

Wrongful Death

When a preventable accident leads to the death of a loved one, the emotional weight is immeasurable, and our hearts truly, truly go out to you at this time. If another party’s negligence played a role in the fatal incident, we may be able to help you file a wrongful death claim, which can cover costs for funeral expenses, lost companionship, and more.

Damages Available in Rice University Personal Injury Cases

In a personal injury claim, you may be able to claim compensation for both economic and non-economic damages, including the following:

Medical expenses (past and future)
Pain and suffering
Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
Loss of consortium
Property damage (if applicable)
Emotional distress

What Does It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer in Rice University?

At Simmons & Fletcher, P.C., we understand how impossibly overwhelming it can be to face legal bills on top of medical expenses, property damage, and other financial costs you’re facing after your accident. That’s why we operate on a contingency fee model, meaning that we only collect a fee if we win your case. That also means that our success is tied to yours, so you can rest assured that we’ll do everything in our power to give your claim a positive outcome.

Statute of Limitations in Rice University for Personal Injury Cases

According to Texas law, you typically have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit—but there are exceptions to this statute of limitations. It’s critical to speak with a personal injury lawyer early on in your process; we’ll let you know if you have more than two years to file a claim, but we’ll also help you out if your deadline for pursuing just compensation is rapidly approaching.
