From I-45 commuter crashes and I-10 trucking corridor incidents to Beltway 8 high-speed wrecks and Galleria-area pedestrian accidents, Longhorn Law Firm represents injury victims throughout Houston and Harris County. As the fourth-largest U.S. city, Houston generates more serious injury cases than nearly any metro in America.
Why Houston injury victims choose us
Houston is one of the most complex injury law markets in America:
- Trucking expertise. Houston sits at the intersection of I-10, I-45, and I-69 — making it one of the country's busiest commercial trucking corridors.
- Industrial accident experience. Houston's petrochemical industry produces unique workplace injury scenarios — refinery accidents, chemical exposures, oil field injuries.
- Real attorney access. Direct contact with your attorney, not handoffs to paralegals.
- No fee unless we win. No upfront cost. No hidden bills.
Common Houston accidents
Freeway and Tollroad Crashes
I-10 (Katy Freeway), I-45 (Gulf Freeway), I-69 (Eastex), US-59, Beltway 8, and Loop 610 generate a disproportionate share of Houston's serious crashes. Construction zones along these corridors, high-volume commercial trucking, and merging conflicts create dangerous conditions.
Petrochemical & Industrial Injuries
The Houston Ship Channel and Pasadena petrochemical complex employ tens of thousands. When unsafe conditions or equipment failures cause refinery accidents, explosions, or chemical exposure, we pursue both workers' comp and third-party claims aggressively.
Trucking Accidents
Houston is one of America's largest trucking hubs. 18-wheeler crashes on Houston freeways and surface streets produce some of the most catastrophic injuries we see.
Hurricane and Flood-Related Crashes
Hurricane season produces unique liability scenarios — drivers ignoring evacuation orders, businesses staying open in dangerous conditions, and post-storm property hazards.
Drunk Driving Crashes
Houston ranks among Texas metros with the highest DUI crash rates. We pursue dram shop claims against bars and restaurants that over-served at-fault drivers.
What Texas law means for your case
Statute of Limitations: 2 Years
Most Houston injury cases must be filed within 2 years of the accident. Government claims have much shorter deadlines — often as short as 6 months.
Modified Comparative Fault
Texas uses a 51% rule. As long as you're less than 51% at fault, you can recover — your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault.
Damage Caps
Texas does not cap economic or non-economic damages in most personal injury cases. Caps apply mainly to medical malpractice and claims against government entities.
Dram Shop Liability
Texas allows victims of drunk-driving crashes to pursue claims against bars, restaurants, and other establishments that served the at-fault driver while obviously intoxicated.
"In Houston, the size of the city, the volume of trucking, and the petrochemical industry create cases other firms aren't equipped to handle. We are."
