Oil field accidents cause serious injuries and deaths to workers in South Texas including Brownsville, Corpus Christi, and the Eagle Ford Shale region. Liz Valdez Garza represents oil field workers injured in drilling accidents, rig explosions, equipment failures, falls from heights, chemical exposure, fires, vehicle accidents, and heavy machinery incidents. Common oil field injuries include severe burns, amputations, crush injuries, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, respiratory injuries from toxic exposure, and wrongful death. Texas oil and gas workers face dangerous conditions daily including high-pressure equipment, flammable materials, heavy machinery, confined spaces, and extreme heights. Oil field accident cases involve complex liability including third-party liability beyond workers' compensation, equipment manufacturer liability, subcontractor negligence, and violations of OSHA safety regulations.

We serve oil field workers throughout South Texas including Brownsville, McAllen, Corpus Christi, and the Eagle Ford Shale region.

Workplace Injury Attorney - Workers' Compensation and Third-Party Claims Throughout Texas
Workplace injuries occur across Texas in construction sites, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, retail stores, offices, and industrial facilities. Liz Valdez Garza represents injured workers in Brownsville, McAllen, Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, and throughout Texas. Common workplace injuries include falls from heights, forklift accidents, machinery accidents, repetitive stress injuries, slip and fall accidents, falling objects, chemical exposure, electrocution, and vehicle accidents. Texas workers' compensation provides benefits for medical expenses and lost wages, but benefits are often limited. Third-party liability claims allow injured workers to pursue additional compensation beyond workers' compensation when someone other than the employer caused the injury. Third-party claims include equipment manufacturer defects, subcontractor negligence, property owner liability, and vehicle accidents. Attorney Liz Valdez Garza navigates both workers' compensation claims and third-party personal injury lawsuits to maximize total compensation for injured Texas workers. We fight for medical expense coverage, wage replacement, permanent disability benefits, vocational rehabilitation, pain and suffering damages, and loss of future earning capacity. Call (866) LA-LEONA if you've been injured at work in Texas.
Wrongful Death Attorney - Compassionate Representation for Texas Families
Losing a loved one to someone else's negligence is devastating. Liz Valdez Garza provides compassionate yet aggressive wrongful death representation for families throughout Texas including Brownsville, McAllen, Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas. Texas wrongful death law allows surviving family members to pursue compensation when a loved one dies due to car accidents, truck accidents, workplace accidents, oil field accidents, medical malpractice, defective products, or other negligence. Texas wrongful death claims compensate families for loss of companionship, mental anguish, loss of financial support, funeral and burial expenses, and lost inheritance. The Texas survival action also allows the estate to recover damages the deceased suffered before death. Wrongful death cases have strict deadlines under Texas law - generally 2 years from the date of death. Attorney Liz Valdez Garza handles wrongful death cases with sensitivity while fighting aggressively against insurance companies and defendants who try to minimize family losses. We serve grieving families throughout Texas with dedicated wrongful death representation. Call (866) LA-LEONA for a confidential consultation.
Commercial Vehicle Accident Attorney - Fleet Vehicles and Delivery Trucks in Texas
Commercial vehicle accidents involving delivery trucks, fleet vehicles, box trucks, vans, and company vehicles cause serious injuries throughout Texas. Liz Valdez Garza handles commercial vehicle accident cases in Brownsville, McAllen, Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, and across Texas.

Common commercial vehicle accidents include Amazon delivery truck accidents, FedEx truck collisions, UPS truck crashes, postal vehicle accidents, utility company vehicle collisions, and construction company truck accidents. Commercial vehicle accident injuries are often severe because fleet vehicles are larger and heavier than passenger cars. Attorney Liz Valdez Garza investigates commercial vehicle accidents thoroughly, obtains company safety records, driver employment files, vehicle maintenance logs, and driver training records. We fight against commercial fleet companies and their insurance carriers for maximum compensation throughout Texas. Call (866) LA-LEONA if you've been injured by a commercial vehicle.

Liz Valdez Garza represents injured motorcyclists throughout Texas including Brownsville, McAllen, Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas. Common motorcycle accident injuries include road rash, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, internal injuries, and limb amputations. Motorcycle accidents are often caused by car drivers failing to see motorcycles, making unsafe lane changes, opening car doors into motorcycle lanes, left-turn collisions, rear-end accidents, and road hazards. Insurance companies often blame motorcyclists unfairly, but Texas law protects motorcyclists' rights. Attorney Liz Valdez Garza fights against insurance company bias, investigates accidents thoroughly, obtains accident reconstruction experts, and proves driver negligence. We pursue maximum compensation for medical expenses, multiple surgeries, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, permanent scarring, and loss of enjoyment of life. Motorcycle accident cases throughout Texas demand experienced legal representation. Call (866) LA-LEONA for aggressive motorcycle accident representation.
Texas Personal Injury Law - Statute of Limitations and Legal Deadlines
Texas personal injury law has strict deadlines for filing lawsuits. The Texas statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is 2 years from the date of injury. Wrongful death cases also have a 2-year statute of limitations from the date of death. Some cases have shorter deadlines - claims against government entities require notice within 6 months. Missing these deadlines permanently bars your claim. Insurance companies know these deadlines and often delay negotiations hoping you'll miss the statute of limitations. Attorney Liz Valdez Garza ensures all legal deadlines are met while investigating your case thoroughly, gathering evidence, obtaining medical records, consulting experts, and building the strongest possible case for maximum compensation. Don't wait to contact an attorney after an accident in Texas - early legal representation protects your rights and strengthens your case. Call (866) LA-LEONA today to ensure your claim is filed on time.
Texas Comparative Negligence Law - Shared Fault Rules
Texas follows modified comparative negligence law, also called proportionate responsibility. Under Texas law, you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault for an accident, as long as you were less than 51% responsible. However, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages totaled $100,000, you would recover $80,000. Insurance companies aggressively argue injured victims were mostly at fault to reduce or deny claims. Attorney Liz Valdez Garza fights to minimize your fault percentage through thorough accident investigation, witness testimony, expert analysis, and strong legal arguments. We handle comparative negligence issues in car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, and all personal injury cases throughout Brownsville, McAllen, Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, and across Texas. Call (866) LA-LEONA for experienced representation in comparative negligence cases.
Insurance Company Tactics - Why You Need an Attorney in Texas
Insurance companies employ unfair tactics to minimize or deny personal injury claims throughout Texas. Common insurance company tactics include offering quick lowball settlements before you know the full extent of injuries, delaying claim processing hoping you'll accept less, requesting unnecessary medical authorizations to search for pre-existing conditions to blame, using recorded statements against you, arguing you were mostly at fault, claiming injuries aren't serious or aren't related to the accident, and denying claims entirely hoping you won't fight back. Insurance adjusters seem friendly but work for the insurance company, not for you. Attorney Liz Valdez Garza levels the playing field by handling all insurance company communications, protecting your rights, documenting injuries thoroughly, calculating full damages including future medical care, negotiating aggressively, and filing lawsuits when insurance companies won't offer fair settlements. We deal with all major insurance companies including State Farm, Allstate, GEICO, Progressive, Farmers, USAA, Liberty Mutual, and Nationwide throughout Texas. Call (866) LA-LEONA before speaking with insurance companies.
Damages in Texas Personal Injury Cases - What Compensation Can You Recover?
Texas personal injury law allows victims to recover multiple types of damages. Economic damages include past and future medical expenses, surgical costs, hospitalization, emergency room treatment, doctor visits, physical therapy, prescription medications, medical equipment, lost wages from missed work, loss of earning capacity if you can't return to your previous job, property damage to vehicles or personal property, and household services you can't perform due to injuries. Non-economic damages compensate for pain and suffering, physical pain and discomfort, emotional distress and mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life activities, permanent scarring and disfigurement, loss of consortium (spouse's loss of companionship), and diminished quality of life. Exemplary damages (punitive damages) may be awarded in cases involving gross negligence, intentional harm, or fraud to punish defendants and deter similar conduct. Texas law caps exemplary damages at the greater of $200,000 or two times economic damages plus non-economic damages up to $750,000. Attorney Liz Valdez Garza calculates full damages including future losses, fights for maximum compensation, and ensures insurance companies don't undervalue your claim. Call (866) LA-LEONA for a free case evaluation.
Medical Treatment After Accidents in Texas - Protecting Your Health and Your Claim
Seeking immediate medical treatment after an accident is crucial for your health and your legal claim. Insurance companies argue that delayed medical treatment means injuries weren't serious or weren't caused by the accident. Even if you feel okay initially, many serious injuries including internal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal injuries have delayed symptoms. Visit an emergency room or urgent care facility immediately after accidents, follow all doctor recommendations, attend all medical appointments, complete prescribed physical therapy, take medications as directed, and document all symptoms and treatment. Keep all medical records, bills, and receipts. Never minimize injuries when speaking with doctors - be honest about all pain and symptoms. Attorney Liz Valdez Garza can help you find medical providers in Brownsville, McAllen, Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, and throughout Texas who treat accident injuries and understand personal injury claims. We work with accident injury clinics, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, physical therapists, and other specialists throughout Texas. Medical treatment strengthens your case and maximizes compensation. Call (866) LA-LEONA for medical provider referrals and legal representation.
Contingency Fee - No Fee Unless You Win Throughout Texas
