Frequently Asked Questions About Our Legal Services

An automobile accident attorney at Weinberg & Weinberg LLP handles all types of vehicle collision cases, from compact car accidents to commercial trucking incidents. Our automobile accident attorneys represent clients who have been injured due to another driver's negligence, whether the accident involved passenger vehicles, motorcycles, or 18-wheelers. We have extensive experience negotiating settlements and taking cases to trial when necessary. Our firm operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we successfully recover compensation for your case.

You should contact a slip and fall attorney immediately after sustaining an injury on someone else's property due to their negligence. Time is critical in slip and fall cases, as waiting too long may result in your case being dismissed. Our slip and fall attorneys conduct thorough investigations, including reviewing surveillance footage, gathering witness statements, and examining accident reports to establish liability. We handle all communication with insurance companies and work to secure fair compensation that covers your medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.

Maritime law encompasses a specialized area of federal law that protects maritime employees and covers injuries occurring on ships, vessels, harbors, piers, and offshore platforms. The Jones Act specifically allows injured seamen to file suit directly against their employers for workplace accidents caused by negligence. Unlike typical workers' compensation cases, the Jones Act provides additional procedural and substantive advantages for maritime workers. Our attorneys have extensive knowledge of maritime law, including the Jones Act, the Death on the High Seas Act, and the Longshore Harbor Workers' Compensation Act.

A labor law attorney assists workers who have been injured on the job due to unsafe work practices or employer negligence. Our workplace injury attorneys have substantial experience with construction-related accidents, equipment failures, burns, electrocution, and plant explosions. We thoroughly investigate OSHA violations and unsafe work conditions that may have contributed to your injury. Our team works to ensure you receive proper compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term disabilities resulting from workplace accidents.

A Social Security attorney helps individuals navigate the complex process of applying for Social Security Disability benefits. Our attorneys understand the requirements and documentation needed to support disability claims. We assist with initial applications, appeals of denied claims, and representation at administrative hearings. Our goal is to ensure that individuals who are unable to work due to qualifying disabilities receive the benefits they deserve under Social Security programs.

The statute of limitations for personal injury claims varies depending on the type of case and jurisdiction. Generally, you have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit in Texas, but certain circumstances may affect this timeframe. Maritime law cases may have different deadlines, and some cases involving government entities have shorter notice requirements. It is crucial to contact our attorneys as soon as possible after your injury to ensure your rights are protected and all deadlines are met.

Compensation in personal injury cases may include economic damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, and future medical care costs. Non-economic damages can cover pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases involving severe negligence, punitive damages may also be awarded. The specific amount of compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your ability to work, and the degree of negligence involved. Our slip & fall and labor law attorneys work diligently to maximize your recovery and ensure you receive fair compensation for all damages.
