Houston Personal Injury Lawyer
Personal Injury Claims in Houston
If you’ve been injured in an accident in Greater Houston, across the Gulf Coast Region, or nationwide, your life may have been temporarily or permanently upended. How an accident will impact you depends on the nature of the incident and the severity of your injuries. You could have a serious instance of whiplash from a car accident or something catastrophic like a traumatic brain injury. In the former, your whiplash will likely eventually heal. In the latter, you may be dealing with the effects of brain trauma for the rest of your life.

Understanding the Impact of Personal Injuries in Houston
Every personal injury situation is different. However, they all have one thing in common: they involve being hurt by another party's negligence, carelessness, recklessness, or intentional wrongdoing. Those wrongful actions directly led to your physical, emotional, and financial damages.
Personal injuries can disrupt every aspect of your life, from your ability to perform daily activities to your long-term career and financial stability. It's essential to understand the scope and impact of these injuries to build a solid foundation for your personal injury claim.
How Our Personal Injury Lawyers in Houston Can Help You
Our firm represents clients in general personal injury situations and specific catastrophic injuries and illnesses that can profoundly affect your quality of life, financial stability, and personal independence. Attorney Patronella routinely handles complex situations involving asbestos-related diseases caused by unsafe working conditions.

Our broad experience allows us to tailor our approach to meet the unique needs of each client, maximizing compensation and ensuring justice is served in every scenario.

Compensation in Houston Personal Injury Situations
The compensation you may be awarded in a successful personal injury situation will depend on the circumstances, the losses incurred, and how the injuries impacted your life.
These can include:
- Medical expenses: This includes compensation for past and future medical bills related to the injury, such as hospital stays, surgeries, medication, rehabilitation, and therapy.
- Lost wages/income: If the injury resulted in the inability to work or caused a decrease in earning capacity, you may receive compensation for lost wages and future income.
- Earning capacity
- Pain & suffering: Non-economic damages like physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish caused by the injury may be compensated.
- Mental anguish
- Disfigurement
- Physical impairment or disability: Compensation may be awarded for lasting physical disfigurement, scarring, or disability resulting from the injury.
- Loss of consortium: In cases where the injury impacts the relationship between spouses, compensation may be awarded for loss of companionship, support, or services.
In cases involving gross negligence, willful or intentional misconduct, punitive and/or exemplary damages may be awarded to punish the at-fault party and deter similar behavior in the future.
The Role of Insurance Companies in Personal Injury Situations
Insurance companies handle most personal injury claims by investigating what happened, deciding who is at fault, and valuing your damages. While policies are meant to provide financial protection, insurers are also profit-driven, so adjusters may try to limit what they pay through low settlement offers, liability disputes, and delays that pressure you to accept less.
That is why working with an experienced personal injury attorney in Houston can be critical, especially in serious or complex cases. Your lawyer protects your interests, manages all communication with adjusters, builds evidence to support your claim, and negotiates or litigates to pursue the full compensation you deserve.
