Montgomery TX Personal Injury Lawyer

A serious injury can disrupt your plans, your health, and your family’s financial stability. Whether you were injured in a two-vehicle collision on Highway 105, hurt in a boat or jet ski wreck on Lake Conroe, or involved in a crash on FM 149, the aftermath of an accident is stressful and confusing. Insurance carriers often push for fast settlements before you know the full extent of your injuries.

Injury Cases We Handle in Montgomery, TX & Lake Conroe

Motor Vehicle Accidents on Highway 105

Highway 105 connects Conroe and Montgomery, carrying heavy daily traffic alongside commercial transport. Speeding, unsafe passing, and distracted driving often result in severe head-on crashes, T-bone impacts, and rear-end collisions. We collect police reports, vehicle data, and witness statements to establish liability.

Commercial Truck & Heavy Equipment Accidents

Expansion across western Montgomery County brings heavy dump trucks, cement mixers, and freight haulers to rural two-lane highways. When a commercial truck collides with a passenger car on FM 1097 or FM 149, the results are often devastating. We examine driver logs, maintenance records, and carrier safety files to hold trucking companies responsible.

Motorcycle Accidents

Riders traveling scenic routes around Sam Houston National Forest and Lake Conroe face hazards from distracted drivers who fail to yield or look before turning. We protect motorcyclists from insurer bias and seek compensation for road rash, fractures, and severe injuries.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents

As Montgomery grows, foot and bicycle traffic near Historic Downtown Montgomery and Lake Conroe marinas has increased. Drivers who speed or ignore road signs create serious risks for pedestrians. We help injured walkers and cyclists pursue full compensation.

Lake Conroe Boating and Jet Ski Accidents

Lake Conroe is a popular recreational destination, but crowded waters create serious risks. Collisions between personal watercraft, wakeboarding injuries, and boating while intoxicated (BWI) can lead to severe trauma or drowning. We work with marine investigators and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) to hold negligent boat operators accountable under Texas boating safety laws.

Traumatic Brain (TBI) and Spinal Cord Injuries

High-impact vehicle crashes and boating accidents can cause severe brain trauma or spinal cord injuries. These conditions often require long-term medical care, ongoing therapy, and home modifications. We work with physicians, life-care planners, and economists to calculate your lifetime costs.

Uber and Lyft Accidents

Visitors and residents using rideshare services around Lake Conroe resorts and restaurants can be involved in serious accidents. We navigate the multi-layered commercial insurance policies involved to pursue all available coverage.

Slip, Trip, and Fall (Premises Liability)

Property owners at local marinas, waterfront restaurants, and shopping centers must keep their premises safe. If an owner fails to address broken walkways, slippery docks, or inadequate lighting, we hold them accountable under Texas premises liability law.

Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

Under Texas common law, pet owners must properly restrain their animals and prevent attacks. We help victims recover compensation for medical bills, cosmetic surgery, and emotional distress.

Wrongful Death Claims

Losing a family member due to someone else’s reckless actions is a painful experience. Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 71, surviving family members can pursue compensation for lost financial support, funeral costs, and loss of companionship. We provide compassionate and dedicated legal representation for families.

Important Texas Personal Injury Laws

  • Two-Year Statute of Limitations (Texas CPRC § 16.003): You have two years from the accident date to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. Failing to file in time will bar your claim.
  • Proportionate Responsibility (Texas CPRC § 33.001): You can recover damages as long as your fault does not exceed 50%. Your payout is reduced by your fault share. If you are 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover compensation.
  • Texas “Paid vs. Incurred” Rule (CPRC § 41.0105): Recoverable medical expenses are limited to amounts actually paid or legally owed, rather than the initial amounts billed before insurance discounts.
