Icy road conditions in Texas during this season

During icy conditions in Texas, drivers tend to behave in an radical way. Many people rely on prior experience driving on icy conditions, but they fail to realize that in Texas, not every one has that experience. Remember, during this time, accidents are more prone to happen.

When you encounter ice on the roads please be conscious of other drivers and allow sufficient space between you and other drivers. Remember to be careful when going over bridges and roads that lead to and away from them.

However, when you are a victim of an accident on the road because of some one's negligence, our law firm can help you. We have successfully represented injured Texans all throughout the state.

From our family to yours, may you have a Merry Christmas and may the God give you blessings beyond your imagination. May you all stay free from accidents and may your lives be prosperous.

Victim of a drunk driver?

In Texas roads, there are numerous accidents that occur every day. Some accidents are more dramatic than others, and some injuries are more serious than others. The problem arises when a drunk driver is behind the wheel of a vehicle. These drivers place their lives at risk and also the community at large. But many times these individuals go unpunished.

Recently, insurance companies, as a result of legislature changes, were required to increase their coverage for financial responsibility from $40,000 per occurrence to $50,000. But, when a life has been lost, that is not an amount to compensate any one, including the victim's family. Many times, other injuries or conditions may exist that would allow greater compensation for the families.

Our law firm has been helping Texas families victims of drunk drivers recover what they deserve. When drunk drivers are responsible, the implications are criminal as well as civil or monetary. Wrongful death usually arises as a result of the irresponsible drunk driver.

The Texas wrongful death statute is clear. A wrongful death has occurred when a person is killed due to the negligence or other liability of a person or entity. The statue includes death by a drunk driver.

Surviving beneficiaries and dependents are entitled to monetary damages in instances of wrongful death by a drunk driver. If your love one has been a victim of a drunk driver, either by fatal injury or by death, contact us. We can help.

Are US vehicles still safe?

With so many bailouts by our government to auto manufactures, one cannot help but wonder, if the vehicles that are been produced are safe for the consumers in general. The government is bailing out the industry, but who would bail out the consumers?

According to the associated press, GM and Chrysler, which employ about 140,000 workers in the U.S., have to submit completed restructuring plans, but neither company is expected to finish its work. GM owes roughly $28 billion to bondholders. Chrysler owes about $7 billion in first- and second-term debt, mainly to banks. GM owes about $20 billion to its retiree health care trust, while Chrysler owes $10.6 billion.

With all of these crisis, who is monitoring the automakers products? How many lives are going to be at risk? Nevertheless, its a good thing that our law firm can help the families of those that have been damage, could be damaged, and will be damage by the poor quality of vehicles placed on the market by the automakers.

Have a personal injury claim?

Insurance companies are well known for trying to minimize your personal injury claims. As we see it,there are no auto, trucking or motorcycle accidents. There are wrecks and crashes resulting from bad judgments, careless mistakes and—in some case—intentional violations of the law. For every collision, there is a party who is at fault and a party who has been injured or killed.

On the other hand, a life-changing injury or a loved one's wrongful death can turn your world upside down in an instant. The insurance company is not concern that you and your family have a lot to deal with: pain, grief, confusion; and many details involving insurance, property damage and an uncertain future. That is why you should have a law firm able to handle them, so you can get back to your normal life.

The most common type of personal injury claims are road traffic accidents, accidents at work, tripping accidents, assault claims, accidents in the home, defective product accidents and holiday accidents. We can help you with all of them.

It can be tough to set a dollar amount on injuries you suffer in an accident. There are so many things to consider: doctor's bills, time lost from work, medical costs for ongoing injuries, pain and suffering, and so on. Insurance companies consider all of these factors when deciding how much to offer, and ultimately pay, for a personal injury claim.

The Baez Law Firm, P.C. is a general practice law firm that is ready to help you during difficult times. We handle accidents, criminal law, personal injury, family law, business law, consumer law, litigation, and appeals.

The ecomony and your personal injury claim

According to the experts, in the last 12 months, the face of the global economy has forever changed. Gone forever are investment banks, the secondary credit market, and an unregulated financial market.

In its place are government ownership of banks, while central banks around the world are propping up the banking system. In September, we came very close to total economic collapse, and we haven't recovered yet.

However, all data seem to point that the insurance companies are thriving during this difficult economic times. Nevertheless, to maximize their bottom line, which is to make money, insurance companies will play on the tough economic times to try to settle claims for pennies on the dollars, which would otherwise be worth something for the injured person.

You need a team of experts on your side, ready to face tough insurance companies that are ready to downgrade your claim. Do not let this economy affect the outcome of your case.

Auto accident and its injuries

Brain injuries are more common in side impact car accidents than in rear end auto accidents. Brain damage in a car accident is often related to the quick acceleration and deceleration of the brain, which causes injury to the point of impact and its opposite point or cont recoup. Diagnosis of a brain injury may be difficult. The Baez Law Firm, P.C. handle brain injury cases as a result of a car accident and all types of personal injury cases.

Concussions are associated with traumatic brain injury as are seizures, headaches, dizziness, lack of concentration, memory loss, depression or anxiety, spinal cord injury. CT scans and MRI scans are often used to diagnosis brain injury. Neck injuries vary from whiplash, one of the most common and annoying injuries caused by car accidents, to disk injuries. Our doctors will treat you promptly and efficiently with the most up to date technology.

Whiplash is an injury frequently associated with rear end impacts. Whiplash injures the soft tissues made up of nerves, ligaments and muscles. It causes neck pain and limitation of neck and head movement effecting rotation and peripheral vision. It may be temporary or permanent and can effect all aspects of life. If whiplash lasts for more than a few days after a car accident physicians will prescribe medications and often refer patients to physical therapists or chiropractors for rehabilitative therapy.

Causes of 18 Wheeler accidents

Over the years, our attorneys have handled trucking accidents across the State. The accidents can be caused by a number of factors. In all cases, there needs to be an investigation conducted by experienced individuals. When investigating a semi-truck accident, it is important to get the right information for the case:

Could the company be negligent in the hiring and training the driver?
Does the company have safety policies and training policies?
Could the driver have been fatigued?
Has the driver had prior accidents, speeding tickets or DUI charges?
Was the driver intoxicated or under the influence of drugs while driving?
Was the accident a result of an unsafe load, unbalanced load?
Was the truck properly maintained by the driver and or company?
Are there logbook requirements with the company?
Are the driver logs falsified?
Were defective tires or other defective equipment responsible for the accident?


Our law firm will get to the bottom of those questions, in order to obtain the best possible award for our clients. Most likely, if a heavy truck (18-wheeler, semi, tractor-trailer) crashes into a car, SUV, or motorcycle, the injuries are nearly always fatal, and the victims will suffer lifelong injuries (including paraplegia and quadriplegia), brain injuries, or even amputations.


Too often, the injured victims never recover and need substantial resources to get their lives back in order. Our goal is to cover the expenses which include compensation for medical bills, lost wages, future medical care, attendant care, job retraining, and pain and suffering.


If you or a loved one has been involved in an 18-wheeler accident, make sure you have a truck accident attorney with the experience in handling truck accident investigations and insurance claims.
