Plain-English analysis of Texas Supreme Court decisions, rideshare law, negligence rules, and the cases shaping how Texans recover after an injury.
A work truck backed into a Houston freeway crew overnight. For a fallen worker's family, workers' comp is often only the start of the case.
A man in his 70s was killed crossing Airline Drive by a driver who fled. Texas uninsured motorist law gives families a path even when the driver is never caught.
A big rig and a pickup collided on I-45 North before dawn. An 18-wheeler case runs on federal rules and a days-long evidence clock.
A motorcyclist died colliding with an SUV at a Katy intersection. The data says these crashes usually trace to a driver who failed to yield.
A Tesla on a self-driving mode crashed into a Katy home at 73 mph. Self-driving technology does not erase fault, it can create two separate claims.
A pedestrian was killed on the Eastex Freeway near Kingwood. In Texas, a family can still have a wrongful death claim even when the driver stayed and was sober.
A man was dragged and killed by a fleeing SUV in Greater Inwood. Texas makes leaving the scene a felony, and the family's civil claim stands on its own.
A Sea-Doo exploded on Lake Conroe and threw a teen into the air. A watercraft that ignites on startup points to a defect, and Texas product liability law reaches the whole chain.
An 18-wheeler shut down the 610/I-10 interchange with no injuries this time. Here's who can be liable, and the evidence that wins Texas truck cases.
A passenger was killed when a car left Memorial Drive and caught fire. In Texas, a passenger's family almost always has a wrongful death claim, and a separate survival claim.
A driver was killed when his pickup hydroplaned on I-45 in Montgomery County. A one-car wreck doesn't always mean no one else is at fault under Texas law.
A teenager drowned in water on a Montgomery County construction site near Magnolia. What Texas premises law asks of owners who leave open water near children, and its limits.
A pedestrian was struck and left in the road in west Houston. When a hit-and-run driver is never found, a family's own uninsured-motorist coverage can still answer.
A U-Haul crossed the center line on FM 2920 near Hockley and a 2-year-old died. In Texas, a driver who falls asleep is negligent, not excused.
A fatal fall from a Westchase apartment balcony, now investigated as a homicide. When is a Texas property owner responsible for a death on its premises?
When the at-fault driver is family, the felony charge is only half the story. Texas gives surviving parents and children a separate civil path.
“They were in the freeway” is a conclusion, not a starting point. Under Texas comparative-fault law, a driver can still be partly liable.
A wheelchair user is a pedestrian under Texas law. When the driver flees, here's where accountability, and recovery, can still come from.
“Unmarked crosswalk” and “no charges” are not the same as “no case.” How Texas pedestrian and wrongful death law really works.
When the driver flees, families are told nothing can be done. Texas hit-and-run and uninsured-motorist law says otherwise.
The 30/60/25 insurance trap, the 51% fault rule, and the hidden UM/UIM and PIP coverage that decide what a Humble-area crash claim is really worth.
"It's a one-bite state, so there's nothing I can do" is wrong more often than it's right. How Texas law holds dog owners accountable after a Humble-area attack.
A driver can be negligent at the speed limit. How Texas treats wet-weather loss-of-control crashes, and how a claim works when the at-fault driver didn't survive.
The vehicle was a Chevy Tahoe, and that's not incidental. Why tall SUVs are far deadlier to people on foot, and what a Houston pedestrian case requires.
"She wasn't in a crosswalk" is not the end of the legal story. A Houston attorney on Texas right-of-way law, comparative fault, and a family's rights.
Lyft accidents create complex insurance battles. Here's how the $1M policy, contingent coverage, and what to do in the first 48 hours actually works.
The Texas Supreme Court's In re Oncor Electric decision after Winter Storm Uri shaped what gross negligence and intentional nuisance look like in 2025.
The Werner Enterprises v. Blake decision and what the "admission rule" means for negligent hiring claims in Texas trucking cases.
