We understand. When negligence impacts your life, your world is turned upside down.

Our Houston catastrophic injury attorneys want to help you pursue the liable party for your full financial recovery, so you can begin rebuilding your quality of life.
What Types of Injuries are Considered Catastrophic Injuries?
The medical definition of a catastrophic injury is a severe injury to the spine, spinal cord, or spinal fractures, or to the skull or brain, according to the American Medical Association.
However, our Houston personal injury attorneys know that the law, and our clients, define catastrophic injuries as those that impact their livelihoods and overall quality of life. That may include amputations, paralysis, burns, scarring and disfigurement, and other permanent harm that changes their lives.
These injuries are, indeed, life-changing, and result in substantial medical bills, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, and emotional damages that must be calculated properly to ensure they can pursue the total compensation they deserve. We can help ensure no detail is left to chance when pursuing the negligent party that caused your catastrophic injuries, so you can rebuild your life with confidence.

Steven and I attended law school together and I have known him since 2000. He was stellar in representing a close friend with a personal injury matter. I have been very impressed with his communication, dedication and thoroughness in representation.
Steve is the real deal! He is an extremely invaluable resource on all things Litigation for me as a younger attorney. He is not only great a securing the bigger verdicts, but actually cares about the clients and still sticks by his tried and true method of meeting, in person, with his clients to go over facts . overall, a solid attorney, with a wealth of knowledge!
After working with Steve for a couple of years, I found Steve to be an outstanding, aggressive and highly skilled lawyer in the courtroom. His confidence and knowledge of the courtroom and what it takes to succeed there, I believe will ensure his long term prosperity.
I had the pleasure of working on a trial with Steven last August. His background as an ADA is clearly evident in the courtroom. Steven's presentation of the evidence throughout trial is that of a seasoned attorney who has spent many hours in front of a jury. His opening/closings were excellent, as well as his strategic litigating throughout the trial. Steven is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with, and watch in the courtroom.
When I met Steve, I was a legal assistant at a Plaintiff’s firm and he was working as an attorney for AIG. We connected there and then. Steve is a likable guy and an outstanding trial lawyer. He is charismatic and jurors like him. He is a Plaintiff’s lawyer now and he has the right skill set to represent injured individuals: he is compassionate, honest, and sincere and will go the extra mile for his clients. I’ve known Steve for almost 8 years now and I’m excited to see his career evolve.
