42 personal injury attorneys serve Houston. Claims are filed in the Harris County civil district courts, with federal matters in the Houston Division of the Southern District of Texas.
Houston's injury bar handles a case mix you will not find in most cities: alongside the usual collisions and premises claims, there is substantial work arising from refinery, petrochemical and offshore incidents, where a claim may fall under maritime law or against a third-party contractor rather than an employer.
Texas bars recovery for a claimant more than half at fault. If your injury happened at work or on an industrial site, ask specifically whether the firm handles third-party and Jones Act claims as well as ordinary negligence.
Lawyers listed in Houston also cover Family Law (28), Criminal Law (20) and Products Liability (19). The same practice elsewhere in Texas: San Antonio (63), Dallas (48) and Corpus Christi (20). Across Texas the directory lists 290 attorneys in this practice; Houston is 3rd by their number among 17 cities.
