Gabbay, P.C. in Austin, Texas, our lawyers represent the victims of alcohol- and drug-related accidents.

Our services in this area include: Civil Damages in DWI Cases, Fatal DWI Accidents, Social Host Responsibility, Dram Shop Liability, and DWI Victims.

- Trucking Accidents

When a fully loaded 18-wheeler or semi truck hits a smaller vehicle, the damages are almost certainly catastrophic. Because of the high incidence of high damages and injuries in trucking accidents, trucking is heavily regulated. Attorneys Leonard Gabbay is an experienced trucking accident lawyers. We know trucking rules and regulations and how to investigate a big rig trucking accident.

It is better to step on the safe side and have your injury checked out by a medical professional. There is no reason you should suffer pain for a lifetime.

- Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic injuries are life changing for the victim and for the victim's family and friends. A formerly active person may have trouble performing the smallest daily task because of traumatic brain injury (TBI). A healthy father may suddenly become a paraplegic from spine damage. A child who witnessed his mother's injury may need extensive treatment for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Our lawyers can deal with the following: Brain Injury, Spinal Cord Injury, Wrongful Death, Burn Injuries, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), RSD Causes, and RSD Symptoms & Treatments.

Proper diagnosis, testing, and care for people who suffer traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, paralysis, burn injury, reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) or severely broken bones is essential. Most doctors will tell you that the first year of treatment and care is of paramount concern.

- Premises Liability

At our premises liability law firm, we often help clients who have been harmed by someone else's negligence. Our first concern is that our client receives appropriate medical treatment. Then we investigate the accident and determine if legal action should be taken.

Bad lighting can cause a fall on stairs. Or it may prevent a person from seeing a hole or indentation in a walking surface. If a building owner knew of previous assaults on the property and failed to improve the lighting or otherwise protect innocent people, you may have cause to make a premises liability claim for damages. When a building owner knowingly allows a dangerous situation to exist, and when that dangerous situation causes an accident, our slip and fall accident lawyer can help you determine your legal options.

- Animal Bites

When a dog viciously attacks a child — or any other person — leaving severe injuries, you can be sure there will be no "one-free-bite" rule. Owners have a responsibility to keep their pets from harming other people. Children who make sudden moves or elderly people who may walk unsteadily are favorite targets of nervous dogs — especially dogs bred to attack.

- Unfair Debt Collection

There are defensive as well as offensive measures that can be taken to defeat the company seeking a default judgment through a lawsuit against you. As experienced attorneys, we recognize the mistakes collection attorneys often make when filing these lawsuits. Often times, claims are unsubstantiated, exposing the attorney, the law firm, and the company to potential sanctions. Our attorneys are skilled calling attention to these issues as well as others.

In addition, there are a number of Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) violations as well as Texas Fair Debt Collection Act (TFDCA) violations, which constitute unfair debt collection, for which the creditor may be held liable, such as: failure to verify the debt on request, threatening collection on a debt barred by time limitations, filing suit on a debt barred by limitations, and other deceptive or unfair debt collection practices.

- Arbitration

Arbitration is an out-of-court option for resolving your personal injury case. Instead of mutually agreeing upon a decision as in mediation, an arbitrator acts much as a judge would. He or she listens to both sides argue their case and present evidence. Then the arbitrator reviews the case and makes a decision. Arbitration also offers the benefits of being a more cost-effective and efficient method of seeking a resolution to your situation than taking the case to court.

The result of arbitration is legally binding and final. This can be beneficial to some while others see it as a pitfall. However, this prevents the case for continuing over an extended period of time. Compliance with the outcome of arbitration must immediate upon delivery of the result by the arbitrator.

Any of the many personal injury cases that we handle may be resolve through mediation, including: trucking accidents, alcohol-related accidents, auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle and pedestrian accidents, slip and fall, animal bites.
