Why Hire Our Houston Heights Personal Injury Lawyers?

Our founding attorney, Rob Ammons, has spent close to two decades litigating tire defect and product liability cases against major manufacturers, including Firestone, Michelin, and Goodyear. Those cases require pulling manufacturing records and working with engineers to prove what caused a failure, and we bring that same approach to injury cases in the Heights, whatever the cause. Our team of experienced Houston personal injury attorneys is dedicated to working tirelessly for the rights of everyday people facing extreme challenges.

Personal Injury Cases We Handle on Shepherd, Durham, and Throughout the Heights, Houston

Shepherd and Durham carry heavy daily traffic through the center of the Heights, and the corridor is being rebuilt with new turn lanes and dedicated bike and pedestrian facilities. The Heights is one of Houston's oldest neighborhoods, and some of its infrastructure hasn't kept up with how much traffic it carries now. The Houston Avenue Bridge is a clear example: it has about 14 feet of clearance, too low for over-height trucks, and trucks have hit it dozens of times, sending debris into the lanes below. The MKT Trail, part of the Heights trail network, crosses several streets, and the Memorial Heights Redevelopment Authority added a raised crossing at Heights Boulevard and 7th Street to make trail users more visible and encourage drivers to slow down.

With all of that happening in one stretch of the Heights, there's more than one way to get hurt. At the Ammons Law Firm, we regularly handle:

• Car and truck crashes on Shepherd, Durham, and the surrounding feeder streets
• Pedestrian and cyclist injuries at trail crossings along the Heights Hike and Bike Trail
• Commercial truck and cargo strikes tied to the Houston Avenue Bridge and I-10
• Crashes linked to flooding or reduced visibility near White Oak Bayou
• Slip and fall and other unsafe property claims at Heights businesses and rental properties
• Wrongful death claims after a fatal crash or preventable incident in the neighborhood

Compensation and Filing Deadlines for a Houston Heights Personal Injury Case

Texas law generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, under Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003, and that clock does not pause while you recover. Money you could recover can include medical costs, lost income, property damage, and pain and suffering, depending on the injury and who is responsible.

Call Our Houston Heights Personal Injury Lawyers at (281) 801-5617

If you were hurt in the Heights, the insurance company handling your claim is looking closely at what happened, and insurance adjusters are typically trained to settle claims for as little as the company can justify. That doesn't mean every claim gets lowballed, but it's common enough that you should know it going in. Skid marks fade fast. Cars get fixed or towed off within days. Construction on Shepherd, Durham, and I-10 changes what a scene looks like almost overnight, so the longer you wait, the more evidence disappears.

We handle these cases on contingency. You don't pay us anything unless we get you money. Call (281) 801-5617. We'll go through what happened and tell you straight where your case stands.
