Get the Help You Need
The attorneys at the Evans/Reilley Law Firm have nearly 30 years of combined experience, and we take pride in our ability to deliver personalized service for each of our clients. We have successfully represented clients who needed help with:
Personal Injury / Accidents
When a party’s careless actions result in injury to another person, the injured party could be entitled to compensation. Personal injury cases often involve car accidents but may also arise for several other reasons, such as defective products or landowner negligence.
Vehicle Accidents
Inattention, failure to obey posted speed limits, and driving under the influence of alcohol are three negligent behaviors that greatly increase the risk of a crash. Those same behaviors can interfere with one’s ability to operate any type of vehicle – a boat, motorcycle, or ATV, for example. When careless or reckless operation of a vehicle causes harm to others, the injured parties may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and – in some cases – pain and suffering.
Wrongful Death
Families whose loved one dies because of someone else’s carelessness may experience extreme financial hardship, in addition to grief. If the deceased was a parent, and the primary income-earner, families may wonder how they’ll provide for children’s long-term needs. While there’s no amount of money that can erase the pain of losing a loved one, the legal system at least allows for the offending party to be brought to justice. In wrongful death cases, families may be entitled to compensation based on the projected lifetime earnings of the deceased, as well as damages for pain and suffering.
Healthcare Workplace Injury
Healthcare workers have a greater risk of on-the-job injuries than construction workers. Healthcare workers can contract contagious illnesses at work, injure their necks or backs when trying to lift and move patients, or be injured by violent patients. Sometimes, worker injuries and illnesses occur because a healthcare provider has failed to provide adequate equipment, establish preventative procedures, or implement security measures. When a healthcare provider’s action or inaction results in harm to employees, injured workers may be entitled to compensation.
Insurance Disputes in Texas
Many people assume that if they’re injured, their insurance will cover their property damage, medical costs, and loss of wages. But the truth is, insurers might look for loopholes that allow them to avoid paying a claim, or to pay less than what they should. An experienced attorney can help hold insurers accountable and get the settlements injured parties deserve.
Nursing Home Abuse / Negligence
It’s unfortunate that families must worry about nursing home abuse, but neglect and abuse does occur in some long-term care facilities. When nursing homes are short-staffed, workers might be required to work long shifts, and being overtired might lead to carelessness in their work or hostility toward patients. Nursing home contracts can be complicated and limit a family’s ability to hold a home legally accountable for abuse and neglect. A lawyer can help families understand their options.
Product Liability
This area of the law deals with the responsibility of manufacturers or sellers of a product to ensure that products are safe and do not cause injury. It is a way Texas enforces consumer protections, which include the idea that consumers shouldn’t be injured or harmed by the products they buy. When a is injured or killed due to the negligence of a manufacturer or seller of a faulty product, the victim or victim’s family may be able to seek compensation.
CLC Claims / Employee Assistance
The Evans/Reilley Law Firm is the designated personal injury law firm in Texas for handling claims through Consolidated Legal Concepts. CLC aid is a part of many employee benefit packages and helps workers connect with lawyers in their area. Employees can use the program to seek affordable assistance with bankruptcy, insurance claims, estate planning, and more.
