Serious injuries happen at apartment complex when a child drowns or falls from a height, in a motor vehicle accident, 18 wheeler accident, medical malpractice, trucking accident, boating accident, construction accident, railroad accident, motorcycle accident, or aviation accident.

The Texas wrongful death Statute of Limitations applies differently in these types of cases than with adults. In a wrongful death case involving a minor or child, the parents have (2) two years from the date of accident to file suit or recover the cost of the medical bills. The minor’s Statute with the remaining damages does not begin to run until he or she turns eighteen.

These types of case are especially difficult to pursue because of the high degree of compassion we feel for children. The Houston wrongful death lawsuit attorneys at Grossman Law Offices treats its clients like family and tries to help the family get through sometimes devastating events.

$226,000.00 Recovery - Workplace Accident (Shoulder Injury Requiring Surgery)
Our attorneys were hired by a delivery driver who sustained a serious shoulder injury when a worker for a third party negligently operated a fork lift. The accident occurred as the plaintiff delivered a load of hay bails to a commercial farm.

An employee of said facility attempted to unload the trailer with a forklift. In doing so, he pushed several bales of hay off of the flatbed, over the side opposite the forklift. Consequently, several of the 400 lb (est.) bales of hay struck the plaintiff who was working to disconnect tie downs on the opposite side of the trailer. This resulted in serious injury to the plaintiff's shoulder.

The defendants took an aggressive stance and denied the claim, asserting that the plaintiff was the sole proximate cause of his own injuries by virtue of the fact that he was standing in a known dangerous area. Suit was filed soon thereafter. Our attorneys argued that the plaintiff's ordinary work duties, and indeed the normal protocol for all flatbed delivery drivers, consists of letting loose the materials to be unloaded. We maintained that the true cause of the plaintiff's injuries was that the forklift operator rushed into unloading the trailer.

Furthermore, the manner in which he unloaded the trailer was itself a contributing element of the defendant's negligence. The forks that were incorporated into the forklift in question were not compatible with stabbing hay bails; they were ordinary forks that were designed to be positioned below a heavy object that was to be lifted. The case was successfully resolved in mediation.
