Please find below a brief description of our practice areas and why Grossman Law Offices is the firm you want on your side when pursuing compensation for your injuries.
Personal Injury
We’ll begin our discussion with our main practice area: personal injury. In a way, each of the subsequent sections are simply represent a narrowed field of the spectrum of personal injury law, as they’re all designed to provide compensation to a victim for their personal injuries. Texas’ personal injury laws are anchored in the “common law,” meaning that they are founded hundreds of years of court decisions, or “precedent.” As you might imagine, it takes a seriously experienced personal injury attorney, like our Tyler personal injury lawyers at Grossman Law Offices, to apply the nuances that develop over several hundred years to your injury case. Thus, if you believe that your injuries are attributable to the negligent, grossly negligent, or otherwise wrongful actions or inactions of another person or third party, give us a call today.
Wrongful Death
Texas law allows the surviving spouse, children, and parents of someone who sustained fatal injuries due to the negligent behavior of another to pursue a “wrongful death claim” for the economic and emotional damages they’ve suffered as a result of their loved one’s death. While we understand that no level of compensation could ever replace the love, affection, advice, and care of presence of your loved one, it’s the only civil recourse allowed by Texas law for the unlawful loss of a loved one. When pursuing wrongful death injury claims, our attorneys leverage their extensive network of expert witnesses and apply a superior level of analysis and persuasion only possible by their two deceases of experience.
Somewhat similarly, Texas law also allows a representative of the deceased’s estate to file a survival claim on their behalf for the physical, emotional, and economic injury they suffered before they passed. Importantly, all successful survival claims require not only the assistance of expert witnesses (as discussed above in wrongful death claims), they also require an attorney who knows how Texas’ laws regarding estate distribution work.
If you believe you have a valid wrongful death claim and/or survival claim, contact our Tyler wrongful death attorneys today for a free and confidential consultation based on the facts of your case and to have all of your questions answered by one of our award-winning attorneys.
Truck Accidents
Second in complexity to wrongful death claims, injuries suffered by the negligence of a truck driver and/or their employer requires the attention and care of only the most experienced truck accident injury law firms. Due to the severity of injuries inherent with collisions caused by such large vehicles, truck accident injury cases are vigorously defended. Moreover, as many trucking companies have deeper pockets than an average truck accident injury victim, you should be sure to retain an experienced truck accident injury law firm like Grossman Law Offices, who refuse to succumb to the aggressive tactics and extensive resources of these defendants.
Car Accidents
Our Tyler car accident injury attorneys have literally assisted thousands of victims and their families recover compensation for the injuries they suffered in a car accident caused by the negligence of another driver. Moreover, as discussed below, our attorneys have extensive experience representing victims injured by defective component parts in automobiles, including those injured in roll over accidents, due to defective seat belts, and improperly shattering glass. Give us a call today to learn how we can pursue compensation on your behalf like we have for thousands of other car accident injury victims.
Dram Shop and Drunk Driver Injuries
Unlike the other common law injury claims discussed thus far, the Texas Legislature has adopted “Dram Shop” laws that allow those injured as a result of an establishment over-serving an obviously intoxicated patron. While Texas’ Dram Shop laws may appear relatively straight-forward at first glance, there are several nuanced requirements that can only be determined with the assistance of an experienced Tyler Dram Shop lawyer. For instance, do you have a first party or third party claim? How do you know if the patron was obviously intoxicated when they were over served at the bar, restaurant, or club? For answers to these and the rest of your questions, contact our experienced Tyler Dram Shop and drunk driver injury lawyers today.
Work Injuries
Texas law requires all Tyler employers to provide their employees a safe workplace, and where providing a safe workplace is impossible due to the nature of the work performed, to provide adequate safety equipment, training, and employee supervision. Where an employer fails to meet this responsibility and an employee is injured as a result, injury victims (and in certain cases, their families) are allowed to pursue compensation for their injuries from the employer. However, the method of recovery in East Texas work injury lawsuits depends on several factors, including:
- If your employer is a “subscriber” or “nonsubscriber;”
- If you were working inside of your “scope of employment;” and
- If you are an employee or “independent contractor.”
For answers to these and any other of your Tyler workplace injury questions and their implications to your job site injury lawsuit, give us a call today to talk to one of our East Texas experienced workplace injury lawyers.
Medical Malpractice
Victims who have suffered additional (but unanticipated) injuries as a result of the professional malpractice of a doctor, surgeon, rehabilitation specialist, or other healthcare provider are permitted by Texas law to pursue compensation for their unanticipated injuries from that party. There are many important aspects to consider when contemplating a professional malpractice lawsuit, including damages caps for non-economic damages, determining if a healthcare provider was grossly negligent, and if a defective product (such as improperly manufactured replacement hip) attributed to your injuries. Due to the complexity of these claims, we suggest that you contact our award winning Tyler medical malpractice lawyers today for a free and confidential consultation based on the facts and circumstances of your case.
Premises Liability
Texas law requires all homeowners, business owners, and property owners to take certain actions (and refrain from doing taking other actions) to ensure the safety of others on their property. However, the particular steps these potential defendants are required to take depends on your classification as a “trespasser,” “invitee” or “licensee.” As determining your status is absolutely crucial to the success of your premises liability injury case, we encourage you to contact our skilled Tyler premises liability attorneys today.
Defective Products
Finally, Texas law also requires all product manufacturers, designers, distributors, retailers, and many other parties that assist in interdicting a product into the marketplace to ensure that their product is safe for its intended and “reasonably foreseeable uses” in addition to featuring adequate safety warnings. The strength of your products liability injury case depends on several factors, many of which require the assistance of expert witnesses, thorough investigation, and product testing to prove. To learn more about how our Tyler products liability injury lawyers can help you meet the requisite burden of proof and prove your defective products case, give us a toll-free call today at 1-855-258-1111.
