What Kind of Cases Do Personal Injury Attorneys Handle?
Personal injury lawyers handle cases on behalf of those who have suffered harm from an accident or injury caused by someone else’s negligent actions.
There are many different types of accidents and injuries another party might be responsible for. A personal injury law firm may take on any personal injury claim or specialize in a specific type of accident. At Patino Law Firm, we secure compensation for individuals who have sustained injuries in the following types of accidents.
Auto Accidents
Texas roads are among the most dangerous in the country, with hundreds of thousands of individuals injured in crashes each year. If another driver’s carelessness or recklessness led to you being injured in a collision, our top personal injury law firm can help you pursue compensation. In some cases, a company, pedestrian, or third party might be liable. We can help if you are injured in a:
- Car accident
- Truck accident
- Van accident
- Motorcycle accident
- Drunk-driving accident
- Ride-share accident (Uber and Lyft, etc.)
- Road defect accident
- Pedestrian accident.
Product Defect Accidents
We trust that the items we buy — from the cars we drive to the medication we take and the toys our children get hours of enjoyment from — are safe, but that isn’t always the case. When a product defect causes you or a loved one an injury, we can help you hold the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer accountable.
Premises Liability Accidents
Property owners are legally required to keep their premises safe and clean, but accidents happen. If you slip and fall at a restaurant, a shopping mall, or on private property because a property owner or employee failed to maintain a safe environment, you might be able to recover compensation.
Accidents at Work
Some workplaces are inherently more dangerous than others, such as construction sites or environments where hazardous chemicals are handled. But work injuries can happen in any environment. If you suffer an injury on the job and your employer does not have workers’ compensation insurance, our Texas personal injury law attorney can help you navigate a claim. While we handle general workplace injury claims, we also specialize in the following types of accidents:
- Construction accidents
- Oilfield accidents
Wrongful Death Accidents
Sadly, too many accidents result in the tragic loss of a loved one. If you lose a spouse or child in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, they must be held accountable. A compensation payout provides little solace when you must process your grief and face the rest of your life without your loved one by your side, but it can help lighten the financial burden so that you can focus on yourself and your family.
Catastrophic Injury Accidents
We also specialize in catastrophic injury cases. Fortunately, most accidents result in minor injuries that heal with time and treatment, but some individuals sustain more severe injuries.
Catastrophic injuries are those that require long-term and sometimes life-long treatment and management. In many cases, these injuries are permanent and life-changing. Severe injury claims tend to result in significant payouts to compensate for pain and suffering and pay for expensive ongoing treatment and adaptations.
Our personal injury law firm can help you get the compensation you need and deserve for catastrophic injuries such as:
If you have been injured in an accident in Texas, our personal injury law attorney is here to listen and help. Even if you’re not sure who is responsible for your injury or you are concerned you contributed to the accident that caused your injuries, we encourage you to get in touch — you may still be entitled to claim. We offer a free, no-obligation case review so you can see if you have a claim and explore your legal options, and we promise you will never pay until we win.

How to Find a Good Personal Injury Attorney in Texas
Finding a top personal injury lawyer you can trust is crucial. The best personal injury lawyer for you will not only fight for a successful outcome for your case, but they’ll also put you at ease and make you feel comfortable and safe during a time when you may be stressed and suffering severe pain and hardship.
Our top personal injury law firm believes that your only priority should be your recovery as you put your trust in an attorney who will give your case the attention it deserves. That’s why, when you choose our dedicated personal injury lawyers in Texas, you can expect:
To make sure you choose the right Texas personal injury law attorney for you, we encourage you to take advantage of free consultations and question a lawyer about their experience and results, as well as what you can expect. You should be wary of guarantees and promises that you will receive a specific settlement, and you should never feel pressured into making a decision immediately; if you are, we strongly advise continuing your search, as it can indicate that the firm you’ve chosen intends to encourage you to settle your case as quickly as possible — even if it’s less than you are entitled to.
We also advise reading or asking for testimonials from previous clients. Ideally, these should be on a third-party website such as Google or Trustpilot, with stringent criteria for ensuring that reviews are accurate and legitimate.
