Our Personal Injury Law Firm’s Primary Practice Areas
At Simmons and Fletcher, P.C., we handle a wide variety of personal injury cases. Our legal team is dedicated to serving the residents of Sunnyside and other areas of Houston who have been injured due to another’s negligence in a trustworthy and compassionate manner. Some of our main practice areas include:
Truck Accidents
With the high volume of deliveries into and out of Houston, 18-wheelers are common on the roads, including in Sunnyside. Many trucking companies are safe drivers on the road; however, some companies push their drivers to continue trucking when it is not safe to do so, which can lead to severe accidents. If you were recently involved in an accident due to a truck driver or company’s negligent actions, it is important to consult with an experienced truck accident attorney who is familiar with trucking regulations.
Car Accidents
Sunnyside’s busy intersections and proximity to major roads like State Hwy 288 and the 610 Loop contribute to a high volume of traffic accidents. Our personal injury lawyers have handled many types of car accident cases, including two-car accidents and pedestrian accidents. If you have been injured in a car crash as a result of another driver’s negligent actions, our Houston car accident lawyers can potentially help you pursue legal actions on your behalf.
Premises Liability
With Sunnyside’s mix of residential and business sectors, it is not uncommon for slip and falls to occur. Business owners in Texas have a legal duty to ensure that their premises are reasonably safe for guests to visit; however, when they fail to ensure that their property is safe, it can lead to severe injuries caused by slip and falls due to hazardous conditions. If you have been involved in a slip and fall, our premises liability lawyers may be able to help you seek compensation for your injuries from the negligent business owner.
Dog Attacks
Many dog owners purchase dogs to protect their property and family. However, when a person purchases a dog, they have a legal duty to ensure that their dog is properly trained and restrained so that guests and people passing by are not attacked. When a dog owner fails to properly restrain or train their dog, it can lead to the dog attacking an innocent guest or someone passing by. If you have been attacked by a dog that was not properly restrained, you may be entitled to pursue legal damages. However, Texas’s one free bite law makes it difficult to know whether or not you are able to seek compensation from the negligent dog owner. If you have been attacked by a dog due to the dog owner’s negligent actions, you need an experienced dog bite lawyer on your side. At Simmons and Fletcher, P.C., we have been helping victims of dog bites since 1979 and can help you seek compensation for your injuries.
Damages Available in a Sunnyside Personal Injury Case
Personal injury victims have the right to pursue compensation for damages when their accident is caused by the negligence of another party. Some of the damages available in a personal injury case include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Emotional distress
- Wrongful death
- Physical impairment
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Scarring and disfigurement
How Much Does a Sunnyside Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
At Simmons and Fletcher, P.C., we know that accidents can leave victims with a financial burden, and finding a lawyer may seem like an extra cost. That is why our firm works on a contingency fee basis. In a contingency fee structure, our firm fronts the cost of your case investigation and the costs of trial, and you won’t have to pay us anything unless we are able to make a recovery on your case. This ensures that those who need our legal services are able to seek them without worrying about how much it will cost.
Statute of Limitations in Sunnyside Personal Injury Cases
In Texas, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the injury for adults. Minors have until their 20th birthday to claim intangible damages and medical expenses that they will incur after the age of 18.
