What should I do next? I slipped and fell really hard in a grocery store a few days ago.

Slip and fall cases in Texas are extremely difficult, but not impossible. You would need to show that the water had been there for a long period of time, or that the store management should have known it was there and haad a duty to either warn or clean it up before you slipped in it. From what you have written, I cannot tell if any of those facts exist. You are welcome to call my Houston-based firm to discuss this further. 713-255-2055

Is this a medical malpractice case?

These questions would have to be reviewed by a cardiac surgeon to know for sure. However, what you have written here would make me want to investigate further. If you can collect the medical records prior to visiting with an attorney, it would be helpful. If you have the records, I would be happy to review them to let you know my opinions. I do practice all over the State of Texas.

Medical malpractice in Houston tx

I actually handle medical malpractice claims in Houston (and all over Texas). While both of my colleagues are correct, that tort reform has severely limited the cases that we can take - because of the economic realities of the cases - I still look at hospital infection cases, and do take them when the neglect is obvious or severe. If you would like to get your mother's records and bring them to my office for a free evalutation, I would be happy to review them for you and at least give you an...

Personal Injury from a motorcycle accident

You can fire your lawyer at any time, but unless your lawyer has given you good cause to do so, you may owe his contractual attorney's fees. The best approach is to talk with the current attorney about your concerns to determine if you can work out your differences. If you can, then the issue is resolved. If you cannot, then you may wish to have the contract with the attorney reviewed to see if there is a way to fire your current attorney without owing him a fee before doing so, and before...

Can i suit the insurane company in the death of my brother

The insurance company is not your friend. They are in the business of collecting premiums, not paying claims. You may need to file suit, but you clearly need someone to advocate for you. You should contact an attorney. We would be happy to speak with you without any obligation or consultation fee. 713-255-2055

My friend wrecked his motorcycle with me on back. We hit the curb of his driveway leaving his house and fell over.

You should be able to recover the amounts of the policies and perhaps an amount from your friend in the form of punitive damages for drinking and driving. You should seek an attorney to assist you with this, as the insurance companies are unlikely to pay without a fight. Feel free to call us for a free consultation, if you like.

Thyroid surgery and malpractice

Medical Malpractice is one of the most difficult things to prove in Texas because another physician will have to provide a written opinion that the doctor did not perform within the acceptable standard of care. The defense will almost always respond with a "bad stuff happens" defense, and juries are reluctant to find doctors liable when they make mistakes. That said, when a Texas attorney takes a medical negligence case, it is then sent to an expert to make the determination of negligence....

Birth Injury-neurological damage secondary to complete placental abruption with current diagnosis of high functioning autistic

Based upon what you have said in your question, I would say that it would probably warrant a consultation and perhaps a review by a medical expert. I would want to know more detail, and would like to review a copy of the medical records. A placental abruption is a true emergency, and the length of time from the abruption to the delivery is almost certainly a factor that plays into the ultimate injury to your son. Autism may or may not be related to this insult, but I would want to have a...
