Catastrophic Injuries

A Legacy of Success. A Tradition of Trust.

Catastrophic Injury Lawyers in Houston

We Have the Scientific Knowledge to Handle Complex Injury Cases

Adjusting to life with a catastrophic injury can feel like learning how to exist all over again. After a serious accident, you and your family may have to re-negotiate finances, household upkeep, childcare, and many other routines you’d had in place for years. Aside from the heavy cognitive cost of restructuring your life, all these changes come with financial—and often emotional—costs as well. Our lawyers are here to help you recover these costs from the person or party at fault for your injury.

Maximizing your compensation in a catastrophic injury case is complex for multiple reasons. First, the other party is likely to do everything they can to challenge your claim, because they know how expensive catastrophic injury settlements can be for them. Second, being able to prove the scope of your losses requires in-depth scientific knowledge. Our firm can provide both the substantial resources and knowledge required to fight these cases until the very end. We are dedicated to using the law to help people like you find justice. That means putting 100% of our team’s effort into every case we take.

    What Is a Catastrophic Injury?

    To be classified as catastrophic, an injury must have some permanent impact on a victim. In other words, it is an injury that may be treatable, but is not curable. Those who survive catastrophic injuries often need extensive ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, assistive devices, and/or day-to-day aid. Catastrophic injuries may also cause lasting pain and mental/emotional challenges as their victims learn to cope with their new situation.

    Our team can help with catastrophic injury claims including:

    How Our Lawyers Can Help Your Catastrophic Injury Claim

    Especially after suffering a major, life-changing injury, most people don’t have the energy to navigate complex insurance requirements or try to negotiate fair settlements for themselves. Your days may be filled with difficult medical decisions and last-minute arrangements, not to mention the energy recuperating from a serious injury takes. However, none of these factors should stand between you and a fair settlement. This is where our lawyers can make the most difference.

    We Know How to Negotiate…And Litigate

    In almost every injury claim, the defendant’s first settlement offer is insultingly low. Getting the amount you need and deserve requires negotiation and continued follow-ups. Defendants who don’t want to pay up sometimes run claimants around in circles in an effort to make them give up.

    Having a lawyer on your side offers you more leverage during this process. First, we’re wise to insurance adjusters’ tricks, and we won’t do or say anything they might turn around and use to challenge your claim. Second, if you have a lawyer on your side, you can credibly tell the other party you will sue if they refuse to make a fair offer. Our team is ready to follow through with litigation if it’s necessary to prove your case.

    We Have a Unique Scientific Background

    Attorney Charles “Chip” Houssiere, one of our founding attorneys, knows science: After receiving an undergrad degree in math with special training in physics and chemistry, he went to work for NASA. As a medical researcher, he contributed to the development of the pulse oximeter. He also gained years of knowledge and experience he still uses today. With his background in medicine, Chip understands how doctors talk and what complex medical descriptions mean. He is skilled at refuting defenses based on incorrect medical information and explaining complex topics in simple terms that a judge or jury member can understand.
