Why Hire Our Missouri City Personal Injury Lawyers

Serious injury cases that involve companies, manufacturers, or commercial trucks are not the same as cases against a single person. They often involve multiple parties and more than one insurance company. Understanding what happened and who is responsible takes experience, resources, and the ability to handle a case that may not resolve quickly.

You also have insurance adjusters and attorneys who push for a quick settlement, disregarding the extent of the injuries and responsibility.

Attorneys must be ready from the start to treat these cases as ones that will go to trial before a jury, so their clients can receive the maximum compensation they deserve and need.

At the Ammons Law Firm, we prepare every case for a jury from the start, even if it never reaches a courtroom. We do that to pursue the full compensation your injuries have cost you when the other side is trying to minimize what happened. Other attorneys refer complex cases to us because of how we prepare and how we respond when the other side pushes back. That is the standard every case deserves.

Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Missouri City

Missouri City is one of the fastest-growing places in the Houston metro area. New communities and businesses are spread throughout this suburb. With that growth has come more traffic moving through the city each day.

US 90A and Highway 6 carry steady commuter and freight traffic between Fort Bend County and the Texas Medical Center. With that growth, more commercial trucks are now moving onto roads that were not built for that kind of load.

The Fort Bend Parkway Toll Road continues to expand, and construction is constant here. While Growth in warehouse and industrial activity has brought more work sites into the city. Heavy equipment and contractor activity are now part of daily life here.

But all this growth also has a downside: more incidents involving serious injuries. These incidents follow patterns documented by TxDOT’s Traffic Safety Data Portal for Missouri City.

We regularly handle:

• Car accident injuries on US 90A and Highway 6, where the insurance company does not fully recognize what the injury has cost you
• 18-wheeler truck accidents where responsibility means more than one party may be responsible
• Workplace Accident injuries on active Fort Bend County developments, where responsibility may extend beyond an employer, and needs to be identified early
• Impaired driving crashes where the driver and the potential dram shop share responsibility
• Premises liability injuries where a property owner failed to fix a known hazard
• Wrongful death claims brought by families whose loved one died due to someone else’s negligence

We recently handled a case in Fort Bend County where a motorcyclist was hit by an intoxicated driver as he was preparing to turn and was struck twice. The case required a full investigation into the driver’s actions and whether others, including where the driver had been drinking, may have contributed to what happened.

Do You Have a Personal Injury Case?

That depends on what happened. A case usually comes down to a few basic questions: Did someone have a responsibility to act safely? Did they fail to do that? And did that failure cause your injury? If the answers are yes, the case is worth a closer look and may support a personal injury lawsuit.

In many cases, the other side will argue that you were partly at fault. Texas follows a rule that allows you to recover damages as long as you are not more than 50 percent responsible. If you are found partly at fault, your recovery is reduced by that percentage. If you are found 51 percent or more responsible, you cannot recover.

These arguments come up in most serious cases, and how they are handled can change what you recover.

Compensation and Filing Deadlines in a Missouri City Personal Injury Case

Under Texas law, you can recover the costs of your medical care and lost income after an injury. If you need ongoing care, future treatment costs can be included. You can also recover for the ways the injury has changed your daily life, including ongoing pain, limited movement, or inability to return to your usual work or routines. If someone’s conduct went beyond basic carelessness, additional damages may be available.

In most cases, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. If a city, county, or other government entity is involved, the timeline to act can be much shorter. In those situations, the Texas Tort Claims Act requires written notice on a shorter timeline.

These deadlines do not pause while you are recovering, so it is important to act before time runs out.
