Why You Need a Texas Lawyer
If you sustained an injury in an accident, you should seek the help of an experienced Texas Personal Injury Lawyer. When you’re feeling overwhelmed by your injuries and the daily challenges they pose, you might make a rash decision, and accept the first offer you get from the at-fault party’s insurance provider. That decision would be a mistake. It could leave you with significantly less money than you need and deserve.
At Gibson Hill Personal Injury, we know the mental, financial, and physical strain our clients feel every single day. It’s difficult enough trying to recover from an accident without the additional stress of navigating a serious personal injury case. Texas injury claims and lawsuits are complex processes that most people don’t understand. That’s why you need an experienced personal injury lawyer — we handle every step for our clients so you can focus on your recovery.
When you hire us, we will investigate your accident, gather evidence, and file an injury claim on your behalf. If necessary, we’ll file a lawsuit and take your case to court. At our law firm, we are injury lawyers with experience handling cases just like yours and know the crucial pieces of evidence we need to prove your injury claim.
During our investigation, we’ll collect evidence such as:
- Your medical records and billing statements
- Copies of all insurance policies
- Witness statements
- Photos
- Video surveillance
- Police/incident reports
Our law firm has extensive resources at our disposal to make sure we can recover all the evidence available in a personal injury case. Most people don’t know where to look for documentation or don’t understand personal injury law and the process they need to go through to obtain specific evidence.
In some situations, an insurance company will send the injured party forms to fill out and sign. Unfortunately, many victims of personal injury don’t understand what they’re signing and that they can opt out of it.
If you believe it’s a requirement to sign every document the insurance adjuster sends you, you could inadvertently end up signing away your rights to the maximum settlement available. That’s how insurance companies trick accident victims. They take advantage of those who haven’t sought legal representation and find ways to strip them of their rights.
18-Wheeler Accidents
18-wheelers can be up to 50 feet long and weigh as much as 80,000 pounds with a full load of cargo. Many contain flammable materials, oversized items, and hazardous waste. That’s why accidents involving 18-wheelers can be catastrophic and cause debilitating injuries and fatalities. If you were injured in a collision with an 18-wheeler, you could be entitled to significant financial compensation. Reach out to our 18-wheeler accident lawyers in Houston to discuss your case.
Bicycle Accidents
Cyclists have every right to share the road with motor vehicles, but while they are legally recognized as equals, they are no match for passenger or commercial vehicles when involved in a collision. The cyclist is almost always the one who suffers the most severe injuries and might be left to deal with their pain, mounting medical expenses, and severely damaged property on their own. If you were hurt in an accident while riding, let one of our Bicycle Accident Attorneys help you on the road to recovery.
Car Accidents
The highways of Houston have some of the highest speeds in the nation and when they are crowded, this can lead to significant injuries. If you have been injured by a negligent party in a car accident, you could be eligible for significant financial compensation. Reach out to our car accident lawyers in Houston for a free case evaluation today.
Garbage Truck Accidents
If you were in a serious wreck with a garbage truck that has left you injured, you may not know what your legal options are, especially if it was a city-owned truck. Our attorneys can help walk you through the process of filing an injury claim for these types of accidents. Our Garbage Truck Accident Lawyers in Houston are standing by, ready to help. Call today.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle injuries tend to be some of the most severe suffered on Houston roads. If a negligent party caused that accident that resulted in your injuries, contact the Gibson Hill Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Houston to pursue full compensation.
Offshore Injuries

It is crucial to hire an experienced offshore injury attorney to help you navigate this complex area of injury law to make sure you get the most from your claim. Our Houston Offshore Injury Attorneys are standing by and ready to assist you with your case, including filing a lawsuit, if necessary.
Oil Field Injuries
Workers in oil fields are exposed to hazards on a daily basis. There’s the risk of injury or death from explosions, fires, and accidents with heavy machinery. Many employees end up with severe illnesses years after leaving their job because of the toxic materials they handled every day. If this has happened to you or someone you love, contact an experienced Houston Oilfield Injury Lawyer right away.
Pedestrians Accidents
Pedestrians have no protection whatsoever when they are struck by motor vehicles while walking on the sidewalk, in parking lots, or while crossing at intersections. Whether the accident was caused by the negligent driver of a motor vehicle or another dangerous circumstance, the injuries in these cases can often be catastrophic. These types of accidents are more common at night. Let one of our pedestrian accident attorneys in Houston answer your questions and provide you with the legal counsel you need.
Rideshare Accidents
Rideshare services, like Uber, have gained popularity over the years and have become a common form of everyday transportation. Although it’s a convenient and cost-effective option, the drivers are not professionals and accidents can and do happen. Whether you were the passenger, the driver of another car, or a pedestrian or cyclist, if you were injured in an accident with a rideshare driver, you deserve to be able to hold the negligent party liable. Reach out to our Uber accident lawyers in Houston to discuss your case.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
Any injury to the brain is a serious event and can lead to permanent medical issues. Traumatic Brain Injuries (or TBI) often cause memory loss, vision problems, trouble hearing, loss of bodily functions, and many other irreversible conditions. Our brain injury lawyers in Houston are ready to help.
Truck Accidents
Vehicle accidents involving trucks can be devastating. 18-wheelers have big blind spots and take up a significant portion of the road on Houston highways. If you have been injured in a rollover truck accident, or any other type of big vehicle accident, you may be able to pursue damages against the negligent truck driver or trucking company. Contact our truck accident attorneys in Houston today to seek compensation.
Workplace Injuries
When you are injured on the job, your main concern should be your health, not how you are going to pay the bills if you are unable to work. A Houston workplace injury lawyer from our law firm can fight on your behalf while you recover.
Wrongful Death
Death is incredibly difficult for all involved. The sudden and unexpected death of a loved one can create a tremendous amount of confusion and stress for the family that is left behind.
When a person dies because of another party’s negligence, the family can often file a wrongful death claim. The lawsuit would seek to prove negligence and recover economic damages for costs such as funeral and burial expenses, as well as loss of economic support. Noneconomic damages could also be awarded for loss of consortium, lost care and support, or mental anguish.
The surviving spouse, children, or parents of a deceased person can file a suit in Houston. If none of these parties file a death claim within three months of the date of death, the personal representative or executor of the deceased person’s estate can file the lawsuit unless a surviving family member requests that the lawsuit not be filed. The remaining family members of wrongful death victims can reach out to a Houston wrongful death attorneys.

Texas Accident and Injury Statistics
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Texas is well above the national average in traffic deaths per capita. More people died in traffic accidents in Texas than in any other state in the country between 2010 and 2018. The numbers surpassed that of California despite there being a higher population and more cars on the roadways.
The leading causes of auto accidents in Texas appear to be speeding, driver distraction, and alcohol. In a majority of car wrecks, multiple factors contribute to the accidents, such as texting and speeding simultaneously.
Pedestrian and bicycle accidents seem to be increasing even though people in Texas cities don’t bike or walk as often as residents in other cities across the United States. Fatalities related to bicycle and pedestrian accidents increased by 40% over ten years. Experts believe heavy vehicles, such as pickup trucks and SUVs, are contributing to those deaths.
