Work Directly With Lead Trial Attorney Cesar E. Amador

Throughout your case, you’ll communicate directly with Cesar about significant developments and legal decisions. You won’t be limited to working through case managers, paralegals, or junior associates when you need guidance.

Cesar has handled personal injury cases through pretrial investigation, discovery, mediation, and trial. We prepare each claim with litigation in mind, whether it arises from a motor vehicle collision, commercial truck crash, oil field accident, plant or refinery incident, premises hazard, or another form of negligence.

Catastrophic Injuries & Losses That Can Last a Lifetime

A catastrophic injury causes lasting functional limitations, extensive medical needs, or a permanent change in the injured person’s ability to work or live independently. Its effects may continue for years or a lifetime, extending far beyond the initial hospital bills.

Catastrophic injuries may include:

Traumatic brain injury: Brain damage caused by an external force that may affect cognition, behavior, movement, or communication.
Spinal cord injury and paralysis: Damage that may reduce or eliminate movement and sensation below the injury site.
Amputation: The loss of a limb or another body part during an accident or medically necessary surgery.
Severe burns: Deep tissue injuries that may require surgery, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment.
Permanent disability: A lasting physical or cognitive impairment that affects employment, mobility, self-care, or daily activities.

These injuries may result from passenger vehicle and truck crashes, construction or workplace incidents, oil field accidents, unsafe premises, or defective products. Identifying potential claims requires examining how the event happened and who controlled the relevant vehicle, property, equipment, or worksite.

Calculating Future Care & Lost Earning Capacity

A catastrophic injury claim may account for past medical expenses and lost wages as well as future treatment, rehabilitation, adaptive equipment, home or vehicle modifications, and reduced earning capacity. Depending on the facts and available evidence, claimed losses may also include pain, emotional distress, disfigurement, disability, and diminished enjoyment of life.

When appropriate, we work with medical professionals, vocational consultants, and financial analysts to assess long-term care and employment consequences. Life care planning can organize evidence of the services and medical resources an injured person may need over time. Vocational and financial analyses may address whether the person can return to work and how the injury could affect lifetime earnings.

Texas Filing Deadlines for Serious Injury Claims

Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003 generally provides a two-year filing period for personal injury claims, but that period isn’t a universal deadline. The applicable timeline may depend on the defendant, claim type, accrual date, and other circumstances.

Section 16.001 also addresses legal disability involving a person younger than 18 or someone considered of unsound mind under the statute. Families shouldn’t assume an exception applies without claim-specific advice, particularly when several parties or a government-related entity may be involved.

How We Develop a Catastrophic Injury Case

We examine both responsibility for the accident and the injury’s continuing effects. That work may require accident and medical records, witness information, employment history, treatment projections, and evidence of future care needs.

Our case-development process may include:

Preserving evidence: We move quickly to investigate and issue legal holds, which formally direct relevant parties to retain potential evidence. Depending on the case, this may include digital records, physical materials, photographs, video, and vehicle black-box data.
Investigating responsibility: We review available accident records, witness accounts, medical documentation, and information about the people or businesses involved.
Documenting long-term losses: We develop evidence of treatment projections, future care needs, employment history, and reduced earning capacity with appropriate professionals.
Managing insurer communications: We handle discussions with corporate insurance adjusters and defense teams, including requests for statements, proposed releases, and settlement negotiations.
Preparing for litigation: We organize the evidence and legal arguments with potential courtroom proceedings in mind from the beginning.
