Car, Motorcycle & 18-Wheeler Accidents
Whether you were injured in a rear-end collision, an intersection crash, a motorcycle accident, or a catastrophic commercial truck wreck, Gonzalez & Rothchild LLP is prepared to fight for you. Car accidents involve uninsured and underinsured motorists, disputed liability, and insurance adjusters trained to minimize payouts. Motorcycle accident victims face unique bias from insurers who undervalue their claims. Collisions involving semi-trucks and big rigs create complex liability chains: drivers, carriers, freight brokers, and maintenance contractors may each share responsibility. We investigate thoroughly, identify every responsible party, and hold them accountable.
Rideshare Accidents (Uber & Lyft)
Rideshare accidents involve multiple overlapping insurance policies: the driver's personal policy, the rideshare company's commercial coverage, and underinsured motorist provisions. These companies and their insurers are practiced at minimizing exposure. We cut through the complexity, identify applicable coverage, and pursue the full value of your claim, whether you were a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian injured by a rideshare vehicle.
Wrongful Death
Losing a family member to someone else's negligence is devastating. Texas wrongful death law allows surviving spouses, children, and parents to pursue compensation for funeral and burial expenses, lost financial support, loss of companionship and consortium, mental anguish, and, where the conduct was grossly negligent or intentional, exemplary damages. We handle wrongful death claims arising from vehicle accidents, premises liability, workplace incidents, and defective products with the thoroughness and compassion your family deserves.
Slip, Fall & Premises Liability
Property owners and businesses owe visitors a duty of reasonable care. When a dangerous condition such as a wet floor, uneven pavement, inadequate lighting, a broken railing, or inadequate security causes injury, the property owner may be held liable. Premises liability cases require prompt evidence preservation: surveillance footage is deleted, conditions are repaired, and witnesses move on. We move quickly to document the scene and build a complete factual record before evidence disappears.
Workplace Injuries
On-the-job injuries caused by employer negligence, unsafe work conditions, or the acts of a third party may entitle you to more than workers' compensation benefits alone. We evaluate every avenue of recovery, including third-party negligence claims against contractors, equipment manufacturers, and property owners, to maximize compensation beyond what a workers' compensation claim may provide.
Mass Torts & Product Liability
Defective products, dangerous medications, and faulty equipment that cause widespread harm are the subject of mass tort and product liability litigation. We handle individual product liability claims and participate in coordinated mass tort litigation against manufacturers and distributors who place unsafe products in commerce. If you were injured by a defective consumer product, medical device, pharmaceutical, or industrial equipment, contact us to discuss your options.
Vehicle & Insurance Disputes
Insurance companies, whether your own or the at-fault party's, often dispute liability, delay payment, or offer less than the full value of your claim. We handle coverage disputes, bad faith insurance practices, wrongful claim denials, and underinsured motorist negotiations. As trial litigators with litigation experience on all sides of complex civil disputes, we understand common insurer tactics and how to respond effectively.
Property Damage Claims
Vehicle damage, total loss disputes, and diminished value claims frequently accompany bodily injury cases, and are just as fiercely contested by insurers. We pursue your property losses alongside any bodily injury recovery, ensuring that every aspect of your damages is fully accounted for and pursued to its full value.
