- Q. Inadequate settlement for injury from airplane tire at husband's work.
- A: Thank you so much for reaching out—and I’m really sorry to hear what your husband has been through. It sounds like he’s endured a traumatic and life-altering injury, and your concern is completely valid, especially with the pressure to settle for what may be far less than he deserves.

- Q. Involved in an accident with a motorcycle in Texas; concerned about a potential lawsuit and citation dispute.
- A: Hi there,
First and foremost, I’m truly sorry you’re going through this. Being involved in a serious accident—especially one that ends in tragedy—is something no one is ever really prepared for. Please know you’re not alone, and your concerns right now are completely valid.
What You Should Know Under Texas Law
1. Texas Is an “At-Fault” State:
That means whoever is found legally responsible for causing the accident is also financially responsible for the damages. While the citation you received might suggest fault on paper, it’s not the final word. You absolutely have the right to dispute it in court—especially if you believe the motorcycle rider was speeding, weaving, ... Read More
