Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

The law office of Flores & Lopez, LLP., is dedicated to upholding justice for citizens of Austin and the surrounding central Texas area. We operate solely on a contingent fee basis. What this means to our clients is simple: if we don’t win your case, you won’t have to pay any fees. As our Austin trial lawyers put the needs of our clients first, we choose to operate our firm in this fashion. Adopting to run our law firm on a contingency fee basis allows our seasoned personal injury and wrongful death lawyers to take on only those cases that are more likely to be a success.

After you suffer an injury, you need to know the rights you have as a victim. The same concept applies if you’ve lost someone in a wrongful death. At Flores & Lopez, LLP., our experienced Austin personal injury lawyers offer each and every one of our clients a no-hassle, no-obligation case review. One of our knowledgeable, informative attorneys will review your case and contact you to discuss your legal options. We offer these evaluations as a courtesy to our valued clients. We use the information provided within them to see if pursuing a claim of personal injury or wrongful death is warranted and can be successful. Any case that our experienced trial lawyers take on is taken under the premise that it may have to go to court. We are not afraid to go to trial and prepare each case as if we were. This separates us from the rest of the field and largely attributes to our success as professional personal injury lawyers.

Practice Areas Description

Our areas of practice include:

- Truck Accidents

Due to the sheer nature of semi-trailer trucks, the accidents they are involved in are usually significantly more catastrophic than accidents involving smaller automobiles. Semi-trailer trucks easily weigh in at tens of thousands of pounds, with their weight varying largely by the type of cargo they are hauling. Typical automobiles weigh in as little as 2,500 lbs, knowing this fact it is easy to see why semi-trailer truck accidents in Austin are so severe. Smaller cars literally do not stand a chance when hit by these massive big-rigs. The Austin truck accident lawyers at Flores & Lopez, LLP., take note of these special situations and are here to help you in this time.

- Dog And Animal Attacks

Although dogs are often labeled as “man’s best friend”, there are situations that can arise where this is certainly not the case. Animals are wild creatures and some aspects of their nature are not completely understood. When dogs and other animals attack people, the injuries sustained by the victims involved are in many cases gruesome and terrifying. Long after the attack is over, many victims still suffer emotional pain in the form of post traumatic stress disorder. People also develop phobias of the animals that attacked them, severely limiting their day to day activities. The Austin dog and animal attack lawyers at Flores & Lopez, LLP., are here for you in this tragic time. Our passionate attorneys know all the legal stipulations and regulations governing animal attacks and have the tools needed to make your case a success.

- Automobile Accidents

Traffic accidents in and around the Austin area have the potential to cause serious personal injury. The Austin automobile accident lawyers at Flores & Lopez, LLP., understand this pain and trauma and are here to help. How often car accidents happen in the central Texas area may surprise you. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, there were 15,252 crashes in Travis county alone in 2009. Of these crashes, a reported 4,264 resulted in “serious injuries” to those involved. A serious injury usually meant that a victim was transported to and given care at a hospital. Sadly, 95 people lost their lives in car accidents that year. If the negligence of another person caused your car accident, contact one of our knowledgeable Austin automobile accident lawyers today.

- Construction Site Accidents

The pain and suffering caused by a devastating construction injury can have a lasting effect on the lives of the victims who experience them. Along with the physical pain that comes with any injury, victims of construction accidents may incur a life lasting condition which radically limits their ability to continue working in this field. In addition to limiting what jobs a victim may be able to perform, these injuries also significantly alter the quality of life that victims have outside of work. Injuries that limit mobility can present with extensive emotional pain as well. Here at Flores & Lopez, LLP., our compassionate Austin construction accident lawyers understand the hard time that you are going through. Our friendly lawyers are here to help you get your life back on track.

- Motorcycle Accidents

The freedom and exhilaration that comes with riding on the open road is hard to match. Motorcycle riders thrive on this experience and as a result, motorcycle riding has grown in popularity in recent times. Sadly, as the number of riders has increased so has the number of accidents. Injuries that riders incur in Austin motorcycle accidents are often very severe as the rider lacks any significant barrier between them and the road. Automobiles have crumple zones, seat belts, walls, and a roof to protect their occupants in crashes; motorcyclists do not share in this luxury. Typically, all a cyclist has to protect them in a crash is a reliable helmet and a set of leathers. The experienced Austin motorcycle accident lawyers at Flores & Lopez, LLP., understand these key differences and can help you after your accident.

- Pedestrian Accidents

According to the latest Census Report, the current population is around 790,390. This growth represents an increase of roughly 20%. This rise in population paired with soaring gas prices has lead to more pedestrians walking to and from work, school, or simply as a cheaper travel alternative to driving. Unfortunately, a number of pedestrians are struck by motor vehicles each year. Injuries that pedestrians receive in these accidents are all too often severe and life changing. The compassionate pedestrian accident lawyers at Flores & Lopez, LLP., have a great understanding of these accidents and can assist you in this time.

- Slip And Fall Accidents

If you or someone close to you has suffered personal injury due to a slip and fall, contact the experienced Austin slip and fall lawyers at Flores & Lopez, LLP., today. Our friendly attorneys are here for you and are willing to take your case to court if needed. Slip and fall accidents are no joke and our attorneys take the needs and injuries of our clients very seriously.

- Oil Field Accidents

Have you been seriously injured in an oil field explosion? Have you lost a lost one as a result of an oil refinery accident? If so you need the help of experienced Texas oil field accident lawyers who can help you and your family. Oil industry jobs are often times dangerous to workers and as result many oil workers are injured or even killed in accidents or explosions. It is important not only that injury victims rights are protected and they are compensated but also that the company responsible is held accountable for their actions. Without that accountability, oil field and refinery accidents will continue to happen and cause serious damage to innocent victims.

- Workplace Accidents

On average a person works a 40 hour / week schedule, 50 weeks every year. A large portion of a person’s life is spent in the workplace and as such it is not uncommon for workers to experience on the job injuries. Although most injuries incurred on the job are covered by Workers’ Comp, when the negligence of another causes an injury then a claim of personal injury may need to be filed. Payouts by Workers’ Comp are often small and generally do not cover all of the expenses an injured person may have. Due to this if you have suffered a workplace accident, contact one of our professional Austin workplace accident lawyers at Flores & Lopez, LLP., today. Our knowledgeable attorneys have extensive experience handling workplace accident cases and are here to offer you legal guidance in this confusing time.

- Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one can be one of the most difficult challenges that a family must face. Knowing this loss came as the result of the negligence of another person can compound the emotions and stress in this difficult time. Helping you and your family is an area that the compassionate Austin wrongful death lawyers at Flores & Lopez, LLP., excel in. Our personable attorneys are here for you and your family and will work with you to get your lives back on track. Feel free to contact us to discuss your case today.
