Automobile collisions.
I am board certified in Personal Injury Trial Law (1992) and Civil Trial Law (1993) by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, and I am a licensed attorney in Texas (1987).
Crash litigation is a blend of law and medicine. Persuasion and proof can be used to help achieve a favorable outcome for those injured through no fault of their own.
I plan to continue learning about the physics of a car crash, the way road design and signage may contribute to collisions, and about things that can be done now to reduce collisions and injuries.
Collisions with government vehicles, like a city water truck, can result in very short Statutes of Limitations or notice periods in which to make a claim against the negligent driver and his employer.
The insurance industry shares information that would get other companies in trouble. Information about you, including claim and medical history, is routinely shared by insurance companies as they investigate whether or not to pay a claim.
