Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Our attorneys have the extensive experience and resources necessary to handle a broad range of personal injury claims. Some of the most common types of cases we handle involve:
Car Accidents
Crashes can leave victims with devastating and costly injuries. We fight to ensure car accident victims are not left with mounting medical expenses and other losses due to someone else’s negligence.
Truck Accidents
These types of crashes are much more complex than wrecks involving two passenger cars. Investigation of a truck crash must begin as soon as possible and in many instances will involve experts such as an accident reconstructionist, critical evidence must be preserved, and in-depth knowledge of the applicable rules and regulations including the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations are necessary to ensure you are protected. Injuries are often serious and life-altering, and the injured person and their family have one chance to get justice. Our attorneys have a history of successfully fighting for our clients in truck crash cases.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists often face debilitating injuries and aggressive insurance adjusters after serious crashes. Our attorneys ensure vulnerable victims are not taken advantage of as they recover.

Bus Accidents
Crashes involving large buses can cause devastating injuries and leave victims facing complex personal injury claims. Our attorneys know how to handle these cases and hold the at-fault parties accountable.
Boat Accidents
Careless or negligent behavior on a boat can lead to serious accidents. Our attorneys help boating accident victims pursue the compensation they need to heal from their injuries.
Oil Field Accidents
Workers in oil fields face many risks. When accidents happen, victims should not be left to pay for others’ mistakes. Our lawyers fight for the rights of people whose lives have been forever changes by oil field accidents.

Offshore Accidents
News of offshore accidents is common in Houston, where many families rely on work on oil platforms and a variety of maritime vessels to support their families. Our attorneys have extensive experience successfully representing people who have been hurt in offshore accidents.
Defective Products
We trust that the products we buy are safe to be used as intended. When a product causes harm, victims have a legal right to demand justice. Our product liability attorneys have a successful track record of taking on large corporations when their dangerous products cause harm to consumers.
Work Accidents
Accidents on the job can leave workers and families struggling to make ends meet. We stand strong for workers who have been seriously hurt or permanently disabled in job-related accidents.
Wrongful Death
When a loved one suffers a fatal injury, surviving family members are suddenly faced with overwhelming decisions and burdens, including funeral and burial arrangements, dealing with emotional trauma, providing support and comfort to children, and trying to pick up the pieces in an attempt to get through each day and somehow move on. We will take the time to get to know you personally as we seek the answers you need – and the wrongful death compensation that will help make up for the loss of a loved one and give you hope for the future.
How Our Houston Personal Injury Attorneys Can Help with Your Case
If you have been seriously hurt in an accident, you should not try to handle a personal injury claim on your own. Insurance companies have aggressive adjusters and attorneys working to minimize or even deny valid claims. You need a skilled personal injury attorney from The Callahan Law Firm to even the playing field.
When you trust our personal injury law firm to handle your case, we will:
- Immediately take the pressure off you by taking overall communication with the insurance company and at-fault party
- Investigate your accident and preserve all the evidence before it is lost or destroyed
- Identify all liable parties and sources of compensation
- Document the full extent of your losses, including both current and future anticipated losses
- Negotiate aggressively to maximize your personal injury settlement ─ and take your case to trial if a fair offer is not made
The best time to speak with an attorney is immediately after your accident. If you have been hurt and are ready to speak with a lawyer about your case, please contact The Callahan Law Firm today for a free and confidential consultation.
Personal Injury FAQs
Over the years, our attorneys have worked with accident victims who were coping with a variety of catastrophic injuries. Some of the common types of injury claims we handle involve:
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Our experienced personal injury lawyers have successfully represented many people with devastating spinal cord injuries. This includes clients who have suffered paralysis as well as those who have undergone spinal surgery such as discectomy, laminectomy, and spinal fusion. We have a history of successfully obtaining substantial financial recoveries for accident victims and their families in cases involving spinal cord injury.
- Traumatic Brain Injuries: With a traumatic brain injury, the impact is life-altering for the victim as well as family members. From memory loss to cognitive difficulties to total incapacity, a brain injury almost always means major life changes for victims and their families. Although medical personnel, insurance company representatives, and others use terms like “mild” or “moderate” to describe many brain injuries, we believe that any brain damage is serious.
- Burn Injuries: The road to recovery can take years and seem out of reach after a fire or burn injury. Permanent scarring, disfigurement, and loss of use of the injured body part are real consequences, as is the emotional impact, which can last a lifetime.
- Amputation & Limb Loss: The loss of a body part ─ whether an arm, leg, foot, or hand ─ is devastating. Medical and rehabilitative costs associated with a traumatic amputation can be substantial. And the emotional toll cannot be underestimated. In some cases, amputations happen immediately during the accident. In others, they may be required later due to extensive tissue damage or for other reasons.
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), or Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), is characterized by a sharp, chronic pain or burning in the arm or leg. Although no one really knows what causes it, CRPS most often occurs in the aftermath of a serious injury. Symptoms include intense and chronic pain, swelling, skin discoloration, accelerated temperature, abnormal sweating, and hypersensitivity.
- Birth Injuries: If your child was injured at birth and that injury was preventable, our attorneys can offer assistance and fight for the compensation you deserve for your child’s care. We treat each client with care and compassion. If you believe a doctor, other medical professional, or hospital is at fault for a serious birth injury to your child, contact us for a free case evaluation to discuss what happened and the legal options that may be available.
This is a common question people ask when they contact our firm. It’s understandable considering that you are likely facing a mountain of medical bills and other expenses. However, no one can tell you how much your personal injury case is worth right off the bat. The answer to this question will depend on the severity of your injuries, the outcome of an accident investigation, the available insurance coverage, and many other factors.
Our legal team will work with you to thoroughly document your damages as you recover. This will likely take some time, as we wait to see how your treatment progresses and how your injuries affect your daily life. Some of the common losses we seek compensation for include:
- Medical expenses, such as ER visits, surgeries, doctor visits, hospital stays, medication expenses, etc.
- Future care needs, including rehabilitative therapies and long-term care considerations
- Lost income
- Reduction in future earnings
- Physical and emotional pain and suffering
Never let an insurance adjuster dictate to you how much your case is worth. Remember, their job is to keep payouts as low as possible. You need an experienced Houston personal injury attorney on your side to fight for the full amount of compensation you are entitled to receive.
Under Texas law, an accident victim typically has two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim based on negligence. This time limit is known as the statute of limitations. In some cases, though, the time limit may be significantly less if proper notice of claim is not provided to the correct entity. This is why it is crucial to contact a knowledgeable Texas personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
