The Baumgartner Law Firm has been handling serious construction accidents in Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and throughout Texas for over 20 years and may be able to help you if you need an experienced Houston construction accident lawyer.

- Products Liability

Dangerous and defective products cause thousands of serious injuries and deaths each year. Some manufacturers are more interested in profit than safety and recently, all too frequently, legislatures and agencies in charge of product safety seem to be doing everything humanly possible to keep the manufacturers from being held accountable for dangerous products. If you've been injured due to a dangerous or defective product, you may need the help of a Houston products liability attorney. Some of the cases handled by the Baumgartner Law Firm have resulted in manufacturers making changes to their products to make them safer. Our product liability attorneys have successfully represented many victims of product injuries against both national and international manufacturers of products.

- Truck Accidents

Gregory S. Baumgartner is an experienced Houston truck accident attorney. He understands the needs of clients who have been injured or lost a loved one in a truck accident. Many times, in truck accidents caused by another's negligent operation or improper maintenance, the injured or their loved ones do not realize that a Texas truck accident attorney can help ensure they receive a fair, favorable and just amount from the insurance or trucking company. It is important to hire a proficient Texas truck accident lawyer as soon as possible after the accident to allow for an early investigation to obtain the necessary information and evidence to prosecute a case against a trucking company. Our firm handles the following types of commercial vehicles involved in accidents:

*Dump Trucks
A dump truck is a truck used for transporting loose material (such as sand, gravel, or dirt) for construction. A typical dump truck is a commercial vehicle used to transport trash to land fills and in addition to the normal truck accident scenarios a dump truck is susceptible to backing up accidents due to limited view, and pedestrian accidents in residential neighborhoods.

*18 Wheelers
Also known as big rigs, tractor-trailers and semi trucks, they are the typical big truck seen day in and day out on Texas highways. 18-wheelers are used to carry cargo and account for as much as 85 percent of the cargo shipped in the US.

*Flatbed Trucks
A flatbed truck is the truck you see on the roadway with the trailer being a flat open trailer. Flatbed trailers are used for ease of loading and typically feature goods or equipment tied down. We see many accidents from flatbed trucks that involve improper loading in addition to the usual truck accident causes.

*Extra Duty Trucks
These are the heavy trucks, which are used to carry the largest equipment. They some times are extra long and may require special permits to operate.

*Semi-Truck
Is another name for an 18-wheeler or big rig and is a trailer collected to and pulled by a trailer. These trucks require a professional driver (with a CDL) and account for the majority of truck accidents in Texas. Connected or what is known as articulated vehicles have special issues with control due to the two part nature (tractor and trailer). We see many accidents when due to braking or steering input the trailer is traveling at a different speed than the tractor, which can result in a jackknife accident or a loss of control.

*Tanker Truck
A tracker truck is one that carries liquids and can be the subject of special regulations if the liquids are classified as hazardous materials.

- Wrongful Death

The immediate hiring of a knowledgeable, dedicated Houston wrongful death attorney is the first step to a successful wrongful death case. In most cases, the insurance company or employer of an at-fault party will immediately begin to investigate a death and will go to any length to defend their company or employee who caused the occurrence that resulted in the death, regardless of the degree of negligence on the part of the at-fault party. Immediate investigation by an experienced Texas wrongful death attorney on behalf of the deceased loved one is essential to ensure that the at-fault party does not succeed in further wrongfully placing blame on the deceased person who no longer has a voice of his own.

- Catastrophic Personal Injury

Gregory S. Baumgartner is a Texas personal injury lawyer based in Houston, Texas. He has vast experience in handling car accidents, truck accidents, brain injury, spinal injury, burn injury, defective products, personal injury, catastrophic personal injuries, and wrongful death cases.
