Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
At Goldenzweig Law Group, PLLC, our attorneys handle many different types of personal injury cases, including:
- Car accidents: Car accidents usually result from negligent behaviors, including distracted driving, drunk driving, speeding, reckless driving, fatigue, tailgating, and more. If you were injured in a car accident due to another driver’s negligence, you could be entitled to recover compensation from the at-fault driver.
- Motorcycle accidents: Motorcycle accidents can be particularly severe. Unlike other motorists, who have safety features such as seat belts and airbags to protect them from the force of a collision, motorcyclists are typically directly impacted. Our team helps motorcycle accident victims hold negligent drivers accountable for their misconduct.
- Truck accidents: Truck accidents can be extremely complex. While liability is often straightforward in an accident between two passenger vehicles, a truck accident may have multiple liable parties, including the truck driver, the trucking company, a maintenance company, cargo loaders, defective parts manufacturers, and others. Our attorneys have the resources to conduct a professional, independent investigation into the accident and identify all potential sources of compensation.
- Bicycle accidents: Like motorcyclists, cyclists have very little to protect them in the event of a collision. While wearing a helmet is always recommended and can save lives, bicyclists can still suffer severe injuries when thrown from their bikes in a collision. Our team helps bicyclists seek the compensation they need to recover financially.
- Pedestrian accidents: Pedestrians are perhaps the most vulnerable to being severely injured or killed in traffic accidents. Negligent motorists often fail to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians or even notice them at all. Pedestrians who careless drivers have injured deserve the chance to pursue compensation from the at-fault party.
- Bus accidents: Bus drivers and their employers are responsible for the safety of the individuals they transport. Unfortunately, bus drivers and bus companies are sometimes negligent in their duty of care to prevent passengers from being harmed. Our attorneys help victims of bus accidents pursue the justice and compensation they deserve.
- Boating accidents: Texas has a considerable number of inland lakes and is home to a thriving boating culture. Injuries involving jet skis, pleasure boats, fishing boats, and commercial vessels can occur. We help boat injury victims pursue the compensation they need.
- Dangerous premises: Property owners are required to keep their homes and businesses safe for lawful visitors. However, accidents can happen if a property owner fails to eliminate or warn visitors about unreasonable hazards. Our firm helps clients hold negligent property owners responsible for their carelessness.
- Slip and fall accidents: Slip and fall accidents can happen virtually anywhere. Whether the accident occurred at a place of business, at a residence, on city property, or in the workplace, our attorneys help victims of slip and fall accidents pursue compensation from the appropriate party.
- Dog bites: Dog bites are another type of premises liability accident. Our firm helps victims of dog bites seek compensation from careless dog owners.
- Nursing home abuse and neglect: No one wants to imagine that an elderly family member could fall victim to nursing home abuse or neglect, but it is unfortunately far from uncommon. Nursing home abuse and neglect take various forms, including abandonment, verbal abuse, failure to maintain hygiene, disregarding a resident’s complaints, malnutrition, sexual abuse, harassment, and more. Our attorneys work with victims and their families to pursue civil actions against nursing homes where abuse and neglect occur.
- Dangerous products: Products with design, manufacturing, or marketing defects can injure people who use them. Our attorneys help individuals injured by dangerous products fight back against negligent manufacturers.
- Wrongful death: Losing a loved one is devastating and traumatic, and this is especially true when a loved one dies due to someone else’s negligence. Our attorneys work with the families of wrongful death victims to pursue compensation for medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, pain and suffering, and other losses.

Demanding Full Value for Your Personal Injury Case

Time is Limited to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date you sustained your injuries to file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party. If you fail to take legal action within this window of time, the court will likely dismiss your case, and you will give up your right to compensation.
Tips for Protecting Your Rights After an Accident
Follow these tips to help protect your rights following an accident:
- Seek prompt medical attention: Your health is your top concern after an accident. Also, many insurance companies require injury victims to be promptly evaluated by a medical professional. If you don’t, the insurance company may try to claim that your injuries resulted from a separate accident.
- Collect evidence: Take photos of the scene, your injuries, and any property damage. Talk to witnesses at the location and request their contact information.
- Keep a journal: Document your recovery in a journal. Make daily entries to describe your level of physical pain and your psychological state. Note any activities you cannot participate in due to impairments from your injuries.
- Gather documents: Keep a file containing all your medical records, hospital bills, income statements, and other expenses.
- Avoid discussing the accident: Refrain from posting updates about the accident or photos of yourself on social media while your case is pending. Insurance companies could use information you publish against you.
- Consult with an attorney as soon as possible: Your attorney can defend your rights throughout the claims process and any potential litigation that follows.
