Baumgartner Law Firm is an experienced, dedicated law firm serving clients in Texas. Our firm concentrates on truck accidents, auto accidents, catastrophic personal injuries, burn injuries, brain injuries, and wrongful death cases. Attorney Gregory Baumgartner is highly experienced in these areas and has an excellent track record.

We understand how severely a catastrophic injury can impact the injured individual and his or her family and how losing a loved one to wrongful death can be devastating. A person who is seriously injured by the negligence or wrongful acts of someone else deserves to be compensated. Even though no amount of money can replace a lost family member, families deserve to be compensated for the loss of a loved one who was wrongfully killed. Occupation and social background have no bearing whatsoever on whether a person deserves compensation. A capable attorney who aggressively advocates for you can be the key to getting the compensation you or your family may be entitled to.

The Baumgartner firm proudly honors referral fee arrangements with lawyers whose clients have been seriously injured or who have lost a loved one. We accept referrals for serious personal injury, wrongful death and for very select commercial contingency cases. If you have a client who needs a dedicated trial lawyer, make a referral you can put your trust in.

Pool accidents can happen at water parks, hotels, apartments and even private homes.

- 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.

- 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.
