Wylie, Texas Personal Injury Attorney

A preventable accident can change the course of your life for months, or sometimes even years depending on how serious your injuries are. When the cause of the accident can be traced back to someone else's negligence, you should not be left to pay for your damages on your own. A Wylie, Texas personal injury attorney can explain your options and help you fight for payment.

At Jerry D. Andrews, P.C., our attorney is board certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. This means that, when you work with our firm, you will be assisted by a lawyer who is ready to go to court on your behalf—something that insurance companies know just as well.

Representing Victims of Work Accidents in Wylie

Work injuries can happen on construction sites, in warehouses, in retail stores, and in offices throughout Wylie. When an employer, a contractor, or another party fails to keep a work environment reasonably safe, employees can suffer injuries that affect their health, their income, and their ability to support their families. Work accidents can arise from many unsafe conditions and practices, including:

• Falls from ladders, scaffolding, or elevated platforms
• Malfunctioning or poorly maintained machinery
• Falling objects or improperly stacked materials
• Exposure to hazardous chemicals or fumes
• Electrical hazards and faulty wiring
• Motor vehicle accidents during work-related travel

Each of these situations can lead to broken bones, spinal injuries, burns, traumatic brain injuries, or other harm requiring extensive medical treatment. In some cases, an injury can also limit a worker's ability to return to the same job or industry, raising questions about future earning capacity. Our attorney can review the circumstances of a work accident, determine which parties may bear responsibility, and pursue the compensation an injured worker needs to recover. We know how to pursue claims involving non-subscriber employers who do not carry workers' compensation.

Injured in an Auto Accident?

Car accidents in Wylie can happen for many reasons, including distracted driving, speeding, impaired driving, and drivers who run red lights or stop signs. A serious collision can leave a victim with medical bills, vehicle repair costs, and costly time away from work. Texas law allows an injured driver to seek compensation from an at-fault party, provided the injured driver was 50 percent or less at fault for the crash.

At Jerry D. Andrews, P.C., our attorney investigates each collision by reviewing police reports, gathering witness statements, and, when necessary, working with accident reconstruction experts. We calculate the full value of a claim, including medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and pain and suffering, before entering negotiations with an insurance company. When a fair settlement is not offered, our attorney is prepared to take a claim to trial.
