Houston injury trial lawyers
Built to go to trial.
Serious injury cases against trucking carriers, refineries and their insurers — prepared for a Harris County jury from day one, on contingency. No fee unless we win.
The insurer’s team started working the day you were hurt. Ours starts the day you call — and we prepare every case as if a jury will decide it. That preparation is why most of them never have to.

Practice areas
The cases we try
18-wheeler and commercial trucking collisions
Federal motor-carrier violations, black-box data and driver logs on the I-10, I-45 and 610 corridors.
Industrial and refinery injury
Plant explosions, chemical exposure and equipment failures along the Houston Ship Channel.
Offshore and maritime injury
Jones Act and general maritime claims for crews injured in the Gulf and on inland waters.
Premises liability
Serious injuries on commercial property: failed security, unsafe conditions, ignored warnings.
Product liability
Defective vehicles, machinery and equipment — proven with engineering experts, not adjectives.
Wrongful death
A full accounting of what a family has lost — economic and otherwise — pursued to verdict when it must be.
Investigation to verdict
How a case moves
Investigation
We move fast on the evidence: black-box data, driver logs, plant records, scene documentation and witnesses — preserved before it disappears.
Demand
A documented demand built on medical evidence and proven losses. Insurers respond to files that are ready for a courtroom, not letters that hope for one.
Litigation
Suit, discovery and depositions in Texas state or federal court. Every deadline is ours to hit; every deposition builds the trial record.
Trial
If the offer never matches the harm, we pick a jury. You decide whether to settle — at every stage, with the numbers in front of you.
Credentials forward
Your trial lawyers
Leon Jaworski
Lead trial counsel
Leon has first-chaired injury trials in Texas state and federal courts for nineteen years. He is board certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and admitted in the Southern District of Texas. Carriers know which lawyers try cases; that reputation is leverage before a jury is ever seated.
Eleanor Hand
Trial counsel
Eleanor leads the firm’s maritime and industrial docket. In twelve years of practice she has tried Jones Act, refinery and trucking cases to verdict, and she is admitted in Texas and the Southern District of Texas. She speaks English and Spanish, and her cross-examinations are the part opposing experts prepare for.
Speaks English and Spanish.
In their words
From clients who went the distance
“The carrier’s insurer offered $40,000. Prima Facie tried the case and the jury saw what the offer didn’t.”
“They had the plant’s own maintenance records before the company finished its internal report. Nothing about my case was taken on faith.”
“Every offer came to me with a straight recommendation and the reasons for it. I always knew whose decision it was — mine.”
No hedging
Straight answers
What does hiring you cost?
Nothing up front, ever. We work on contingency: our fee is a percentage of the recovery, and if there is no recovery there is no fee. Case expenses are advanced by the firm.
The insurance company already called me. Should I talk to them?
Not before you talk to a lawyer. Recorded statements exist to reduce what they pay you. You are under no obligation to give one, and we take over that contact the day you hire us.
What is my case worth?
No honest lawyer can tell you from a phone call. Value depends on liability, medical evidence and long-term impact. We investigate first, then give you a range grounded in what juries in this county actually do.
How long do I have to file?
In Texas, most injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury — and some, like claims against government entities, have much shorter notice deadlines. We date-check every intake first, so call before the calendar decides for you.
What if I was partly at fault?
Texas reduces your recovery by your share of fault, and bars it only if you were more than half responsible. Insurers push fault onto victims for exactly that reason — which is why the investigation comes before any number.
Will my case actually go to trial?
Most cases settle — but they settle for more when the other side knows you are ready. We prepare every case for trial and you make the final call on any offer.
