What Sets Our Pasadena Personal Injury Attorneys Apart
Pasadena is not without its problems. For one, the facilities along the Ship Channel have a documented history of serious worker injuries and OSHA violations. Second, State Highway 225 runs through the heart of the city, carrying tanker trucks and commercial freight between Port Houston and regional industrial sites, and the crash record on that corridor reflects the volume of heavy traffic.
In environments with so many moving companies and contractors, responsibility usually does not rest with just one person when something goes wrong.
Our attorneys know this. At our firm, we trace incidents back to every responsible party and hold them accountable for their share of fault. We do this to ensure our clients recover the maximum compensation available for the impact their injury has had on their lives.
An $82.5 million plant explosion wrongful death settlement we recovered for a family shows how these cases are built when the facts are taken seriously.
Cases Our Pasadena Personal Injury Lawyers Handle
Pasadena sits in the middle of one of the most concentrated petrochemical areas along the Houston Ship Channel. Commercial trucks move through the city every day along State Highway 225 and Beltway 8, serving refineries, chemical plants, and storage terminals. Incidents at these facilities are not rare. Catastrophic events like refinery scaffolding collapses and vapor explosions at nearby chemical plants have triggered OSHA investigations and sent workers to the hospital.
The cases we handle in Pasadena reflect the risks created by this environment:
- Car accident injuries on State Highway 225 and Beltway 8, where insurance carriers often dispute liability and undervalue the true cost of the injury
- Refinery and chemical plant injuries where contractor oversight failures or process safety violations may create third-party liability outside the workers’ compensation system
- Commercial truck collisions involving federal motor carrier safety regulations and corporate fleet responsibility
- Industrial workplace incidents where physical evidence must be examined before conditions change or access to the site is lost
- Wrongful death claims brought by families who need a full accounting of what happened, not a quick settlement that closes the case
Do the Facts of Your Injury Support a Legal Claim?
There is only one way to really know: speak with an attorney. In Texas, the law allows an injured person to recover damages as long as they are not found to be more than 50 percent responsible for what happened. If a defendant claims you share some of the blame, any compensation you recover is reduced by that percentage. If your responsibility reaches 51 percent or more, you cannot recover damages. This becomes the argument in nearly every serious personal injury lawsuit filed in this state.
The right attorney will investigate and have the experience to counter the insurance claims.
Compensation and Deadlines in a Pasadena Personal Injury Claim
Under Texas law, you can recover compensation for your medical bills and lost income, as well as for the long-term impact your injuries have on your daily life and ability to work. Some of these losses are easy to show with records and bills. Other losses that are not obvious at first glance need to be explained through personal anecdotes and more detail about how your life has changed as a result of the incident and your injury.
In most cases, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury claim in Texas. If a government entity is involved, you may have to give notice much sooner, under special rules that apply to those cases. These deadlines apply whether or not you’ve hired a lawyer, so it’s important not to wait too long to get legal advice.

Personal Injury Attorney Rob Ammons and Attorney John Gsanger
The other side is not waiting. Companies operating in this area often have claims teams and attorneys already working to limit what they may have to pay. And plant safety records and vehicle data have a limited window before they disappear. Texas workplace fatality data confirms that industrial incidents in this state move fast, and so do the companies involved.
Having an attorney on your side helps you move fast, too.
The Ammons Law Firm handles serious injury cases on a contingency fee basis, so there is no fee unless we recover on your behalf. Call (281) 801-5617 for a private consultation. We will review the facts, explain what your case may involve, and tell you clearly what steps can be taken next.
