Houston Trial Attorney Serving Clients Across Texas

Injured? Put Experience

on Your Side.

Fierce advocacy. Personal commitment.

When you're facing a serious injury or have been wronged by a business, you need an attorney who understands how insurance companies, corporations, and defense teams think — because she's spent decades across the table from them.

When someone else's negligence causes a serious injury, you may find yourself dealing with medical care, lost income, uncertainty about the future, and an insurance company already evaluating your claim. Catherine Levacy spent years representing insurance companies, corporations, and employers. Now she puts that experience to work for injured people and their families.

Personal Injury Representation

When Your Life Changes, the Insurance Company Has a Process. So Should You.

After an accident, an insurance company may begin investigating almost immediately. Adjusters gather information. Statements are taken. Medical records are reviewed. Liability is evaluated. Financial exposure is calculated.

It can feel personal to you because it is personal. To an insurance company, it is also a claim that must be evaluated and managed.

Catherine understands that process from the inside. Before founding Levacy Law, she spent much of her career representing insurance companies, corporations, and employers. She learned how claims are investigated, how risk is assessed, how settlement decisions are made, and how cases are defended when they move toward trial.

Today, she uses that perspective to represent injured people.

Cases We Handle

Personal Injury Cases Levacy Law Handles

Levacy Law represents people and families in serious personal injury matters throughout Houston and across Texas. These may include:

Houston Car Accidents

Injured in a Car Accident in Houston?

Car accidents can happen in an instant, but the aftermath can affect your life for months or years. Medical treatment, missed work, vehicle damage, and uncertainty about what comes next can all follow a serious collision.

An insurance company will typically open an investigation soon after the accident — reviewing fault, coverage, and the extent of your injuries.

Catherine brings a former insurance-side perspective to these cases, understanding how claims are evaluated from the inside.

She works to build a clear picture of what happened, who was responsible, and what the injury has meant for your life.

Houston Truck Accidents

Truck Accident Cases Can Be More Complicated Than They Appear.

Truck accidents often involve multiple parties — the driver, the trucking company, maintenance contractors, and various layers of insurance coverage.

These cases frequently require investigation that goes beyond the driver alone, including company policies, contracts, and safety records.

Early preservation of evidence is critical, since important records can be lost or overwritten if not requested quickly.

Catherine works to identify every party who may share responsibility for a serious truck accident.

Motorcycle Injuries

Serious Injuries Deserve a Serious Investigation.

Motorcyclists have less physical protection than passengers in a car, which often means more severe injuries when a collision occurs.

Building a strong case means carefully documenting the facts — the scene, the vehicles involved, and the full extent of the injuries.

Catherine works to tell the full story of what happened through evidence, not assumptions about who was at fault.

Dangerous Property Conditions

When Unsafe Property Causes Serious Harm.

Property owners have a responsibility to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors, tenants, and customers.

Premises liability cases often turn on what the owner knew, or should have known, about a dangerous condition — and what, if anything, they did about it.

Catherine investigates the facts surrounding the property and the incident to determine whether that responsibility was met.

Life-Changing Injuries

Some Injuries Don't End When the Hospital Stay Does.

Catastrophic injuries can mean ongoing medical care, long-term costs, and a lasting impact on your ability to work and live as you did before.

Documenting the full, future impact of a serious injury is an essential part of building a strong claim.

Catherine works to understand not just what happened, but what it will mean for your life going forward.

Wrongful Death

When Negligence Takes Someone You Love.

Losing a family member due to someone else's negligence is devastating. Texas law may allow surviving family members to pursue accountability and compensation.

These cases require careful, sensitive investigation into the circumstances that led to the loss.

Speak With Catherine Confidentially

Serious Workplace Injuries

A Workplace Injury Isn't Always Just a Workers' Compensation Matter.

Depending on coverage, how the injury happened, where it happened, and who controlled the worksite, a workplace injury may involve more than a standard workers' compensation claim.

Catherine evaluates whether a third party may share legal responsibility for a serious workplace injury.

Understanding Your Claim

An Injury Can Cost More Than the Bills You've Already Received.

The financial impact of a serious injury can continue long after an accident. Depending on the facts of the case and Texas law, a personal injury claim may involve losses such as:

Medical expenses
Future medical care
Lost income
Reduced ability to earn income
Physical pain
Mental or emotional suffering
Physical impairment
Disfigurement
Property damage in applicable cases

The losses involved in every case are different. Part of building a personal injury case is understanding not only what happened, but how the injury has affected the person's work, health, independence, family, and future.

After an Accident

What Should You Do After a Serious Injury?

Protecting your health and preserving information can matter for your recovery and for a potential claim.

01
Get Medical Attention
Your health comes first. Seek appropriate medical care and follow the recommendations of the medical professionals treating you.
02
Preserve What You Can
Photographs, videos, correspondence, reports, receipts, insurance information, and witness information can all matter later.
03
Be Thoughtful About Statements
Insurance companies may request information or statements. Consider speaking with an attorney before providing one.
04
Keep Track of the Impact
Medical bills and records, missed work, and out-of-pocket expenses all help document the full impact of your injury.
05
Consider Speaking With an Attorney
You don't need to understand personal injury law before calling a lawyer — that's what the conversation is for.
06
Prepare for Trial When Necessary
If a case isn't resolved through negotiation, litigation may follow. Catherine has tried more than 50 jury trials.
