Personal injury cases generally involve an injury caused by the wrongful or negligent conduct of another person, business, or other responsible party. Whether you have a claim depends on the specific facts. A consultation with an attorney can help you understand whether there may be a legal claim worth pursuing.

Car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, premises liability, catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, and serious workplace injuries.

Insurance companies often need information to investigate claims, but what you say can become part of that investigation. If you are unsure about a request for a recorded statement, authorization, release, or other document, you may want to speak with an attorney before responding.

It is often useful to seek legal advice sooner rather than later after a serious accident. Evidence can become more difficult to obtain with time, and Texas law places deadlines on legal claims. An attorney should evaluate the applicable time limits rather than assuming a particular deadline applies.

No. Criminal and civil cases are different legal processes. Whether a civil claim may be available depends on the circumstances.

Potentially. Depending on the facts and applicable law, questions of responsibility may involve property owners, employers, businesses, institutions, or other parties whose conduct contributed to the circumstances surrounding the harm.

The Texas Deceptive Trade Practices–Consumer Protection Act is a state law designed to protect consumers from certain deceptive, misleading, false, and unfair business practices. It can apply in a variety of consumer transactions involving goods or services.

Levacy Law evaluates landlord/tenant situations only when there may be a meaningful consumer protection or deceptive practices component. The firm is not positioned as a general landlord/tenant practice for routine lease disputes or evictions.

Many matters are resolved without a jury trial. Whether litigation or trial becomes necessary depends on the circumstances, the evidence, the positions taken by the parties, and whether an appropriate resolution can be reached. If trial becomes necessary, Catherine brings more than 50 jury trials of experience to the courtroom.

An attorney who has actually tried cases understands what happens when evidence is challenged, witnesses are questioned, and arguments are tested. That experience shapes how a case is prepared from the beginning — and how seriously the other side may take it.
