Practice Areas
Our dedicated attorneys provide personalized legal representation for people in Corpus Christi and surrounding areas who have been injured by others’ carelessness or disregard for safety. The types of cases and injuries we handle include:
-
Car Accidents
Our attorneys have extensive experience handling car accidents involving injuries. We will investigate the accident to identify potentially at-fault parties and work to preserve evidence and interview witnesses. Texas law generally imposes a two-year time limit on filing a personal injury claim after a car crash, so it is important to speak with an attorney promptly about the deadlines that may apply to your case.
-
Truck Accidents
Thousands of 18-wheelers and other commercial trucks pass through Corpus Christi every day. If you have been injured in an accident caused by a semi-truck, experienced legal assistance can help you understand your options when dealing with a trucking company and its insurer. An accident lawyer can review the accident and explain your legal options. If you receive a settlement offer from a trucking company’s insurer, our attorneys can review it and discuss whether the offer is reasonable based on your circumstances.
-
Motorcycle Accidents
The impact of a motorcycle crash can eject a rider from the motorcycle and cause serious injuries, including head injuries and broken bones. Other motorists may fail to see motorcyclists in traffic and cause accidents. Our attorneys represent injured motorcyclists and their families and can help them understand the legal process following a serious crash.
-
Wrongful Death
If your family has lost a loved one in a car crash or another type of accident caused by another person’s negligence, you may be entitled to seek compensation from the responsible party. Texas law permits certain surviving family members to pursue a wrongful death claim. During this difficult time, our lawyers can discuss your legal options and provide guidance about the next steps.
-
Product Liability
Manufacturers are required to make reasonably safe products and provide appropriate warnings about known risks. When a defective or unsafe product causes an injury, the manufacturer or another responsible party may be held legally accountable.
-
Brain Injuries
A serious brain injury can cause long-term impairments, require extensive care, and prevent an accident victim from returning to work. Compensation sought for a brain injury may need to account for present and future costs. Our attorneys have represented brain injury survivors and their families as they face the physical, emotional, and financial challenges associated with traumatic brain injuries.
-
Spinal Injuries
A serious spinal cord injury may require extensive medical treatment and long-term care. A spinal injury survivor may need the assistance of a catastrophic injury attorney who can evaluate the accident, investigate liability, and explain what compensation may be available.

About Corpus Christi and Our Neighboring Communities
Corpus Christi was founded in 1839, when Colonel Henry Lawrence Kinney established Kinney’s Trading Post, which sold supplies to the Mexican revolutionary army camping west of the settlement. In 1845, General Zachary Taylor established a military camp in the area in preparation for the war with Mexico. The troops remained until 1846. The settlement was officially named Corpus Christi the following year and was incorporated in 1852.
During the Civil War, the Battle of Corpus Christi was fought in the area from Aug. 12 through Aug. 18, 1862. The battle was fought on land and sea.
The Port of Corpus Christi was established in 1926, and the Corpus Christi Naval Air Station opened in 1941. The Naval Air Station and the people serving there remain an important part of the Corpus Christi community.
Several major hurricanes, including Hurricane Celia and Hurricane Allen, have caused significant damage to Corpus Christi and surrounding communities over the years.
