Straight answers about Texas injury claims, from the lawyers who handle them every day.


Overview

What you'll find here

Most of what you find online after a serious injury was written to rank on Google, not to help you. These articles are written by the attorneys at Benjamin Roberts Law to answer the questions our Houston clients actually ask: how long you have to file, what a case like yours may be worth, what to say — and not say — to an adjuster, and what happens when an insurer won't pay fairly.


Our attorneys started their careers defending insurance companies. When we explain how a claim gets evaluated, it comes from having done the evaluating.



Every post is reviewed by an attorney and updated when Texas law or local practice changes. None of it is legal advice for your specific situation. For that, call (713) 609-1898 for a free, confidential consultation.


Topics Covered

What we write about

Car and 18-wheeler crashes on I-10, I-45, and the 610 Loop. Falls, negligent security, and other unsafe-property claims. Workplace injuries that reach beyond workers' compensation. Offshore and maritime injuries along the Gulf Coast. Catastrophic injury and wrongful death.  And the practical questions that come up in nearly every case — deadlines, medical bills, recorded statements, and when to settle or go to trial.
