The Fass Law Firm aggressively represents injury victims in Houston and the surrounding areas. As members of the community, we fight to get justice for those who have been hurt, and to make Houston a safer place for everyone.
With more than 2.2 million residents, our city is filled with exciting things to do and is a vital contributor to Texas’ economy. With so much activity, accidents are bound to happen. When someone is injured due to the negligence of others, we’ll be there to help them pick up the pieces and rebuild their lives.
Some of the most commonly reported injury accidents in Houston are car accidents. As anyone who has commuted in our city knows, the roads here are jam-packed with drivers who are anxious to get to their destination. Some of the most common causes of car accidents here are distracted driving, speeding, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. According to a recent report in the Houston Chronicle, 640 people die on Houston roads each year, and 2,850 more suffer serious injuries.
Accidents in the workplace are also a concerning cause of serious injuries in Houston. In some cases, these accidents could prove to be fatal. The Houston Business Journal reports that there were 56 workplace fatalities from January 1, 2017 to September 24, 2018. When an employee is killed in a workplace accident, their surviving family members expect that the employers’ workers’ compensation policy will provide some financial relief, but sometimes getting what you are owed can be a challenge.
There are countless other ways that people’s lives can be forever altered by an accident in Houston. Slips and falls, defective consumer products, boating and other recreational accidents, and many other cases can and will arise, and each time, the team at The Fass Law Firm is willing to step up and provide the quality legal counsel that victims and their families deserve.
We hired Rich to represent us after my wife sustained life altering injuries during a routine medical procedure. The entire process was foreign to us as we had never had a legal issue that we had to face. Rich and his entire team, treated us with the utmost class and sincere care from the moment we first met! During the entire process they communicated with us constantly and were there to help every step of the way. We were very pleased with our experience and I will not hesitate to recommend Rich to anyone that is unfortunate enough to find themselves in a similar situation!

If you’ve been hurt due to someone else’s negligence, Texas law allows you to seek compensation for the harm you’ve suffered. You could be eligible to receive financial compensation, otherwise known as damages, including:
If you lost a loved one in an accident, you could file a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral and burial expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship, and other damages.
As a general rule, you should seek legal help as soon as possible after an injury accident. Every state has a statute of limitations, which sets a timeline for injured persons to file a personal injury claim. In Texas, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury. If you wait too long to file your claim, the court will be barred from hearing your case, and you will lose the right to seek compensation entirely.
We know that accidents happen and determining who is ultimately responsible is not always immediately evident. Fortunately, Texas law recognizes that as well, and follows a modified comparative negligence doctrine. Even if you believe you partially caused an incident, you may still be entitled to compensation, so please call to discuss your rights.
