Practice Areas Description

- Personal Injury

Many Texas Law Firms claim to be injury lawyers, personal injury lawyers or accident lawyers. For many firms and lawyers all it takes to be “successful” is a large advertising budget and a crew of inexperienced lawyers to sign up as many cases as possible then settle them quickly.

- Animal Bites

Every year, millions of Americans are attacked by animals. In fact, in 1994, over 4.7 million people were bitten by dogs alone. In many cases, the victim of a dog bite or animal attack may have a legal right to recover damages from the animal's owner or another responsible party.

- Aviation Accidents

Commercial airline accidents, private charter jets, and helicopters; all aviation accidents can result in significant injuries or cause wrongful death. For the victims and families of such accidents, it can be difficult to understand what happened, who is at fault, and whether the accident could have been prevented. At Rush & Gransee, LC, we understand the difficulties faced by the victims and families of aviation accidents and will seek to uncover the cause of the accident and pursue claims against every responsible party.

- Brain Injury

After you've been injured in a car crash, truck wreck, or other accident through someone else's negligence, you may still be suffering months after you were hurt because of damage that you or a loved one suffered from a traumatic brain injury (‘TBI') or spinal cord injury. Sometimes the effects of head injuries and spinal cord injuries are subtle - maybe you can't do the things you used to, or maybe you are experiencing debilitating pain that prevents you from working.

- Burn Injury

Each year, 2.5 million Americans suffer a burn injury with 100,000 individuals requiring hospitalization and 10,000 eventually resulting in death. J. PAUL WAYMACK, RANDI L. RUTAN, DAVID HERNDON. Burns in ESSENTIALS OF SURGERY 2ND. W.B. Saunders Company 1994.

- Construction Accidents

Construction sites must follow state and federal regulations to ensure that workers are safe from certain preventable injuries. When a subcontractor, general contractor, or worker violates these regulations, they may be liable for any injuries or wrongful death suffered by a worker. At Rush & Gransee, LC, we have significant experience in the investigation of construction accidents on behalf of injured workers and their families.

- Elder Law and Nursing Home Litigation

In many instances, senior citizens and their families make the decision that they move into nursing homes or long-term care facilities to ensure that they are well cared for, and will be protected from the effects of their deteriorating physical and/or mental conditions. In these settings, however, older people are sometimes actually physically and/or psychologically harmed by the negligent or intentional acts of their caregivers. Based on information available through the National Center on Elder Abuse, instances of nursing home abuse, caretaker abuse, health care provider neglect and elder exploitation continue to rise.

- Insurance Disputes

The purpose of insurance is to help you when you are in need after an accident or unfortunate event. That is why money is paid to insurance companies to maintain policies. Problems arise when insurance companies fail to fulfill their end of the bargain, or operate in bad faith, delaying and limiting payment, or refusing to pay entirely when a tragedy or emergency arises and you are most in need.

- Defective Medical Device and Drug

Drug companies and the manufacturers of medical devices often profit without considering the overall safety of their products. When a medical product is unsafe or is not properly tested, it can cause serious injury, even fatalities. At Rush & Gransee, LC, we have experience in the investigation and pursuit of claims related to medical device and drug injuries. Our firm represents individuals and families who have suffered as a result of a serious injury or a wrongful death.

- Oil Field Injuries

Oil industry workers face extremely hazardous working conditions. Oil well drilling whether it is onshore or offshore can be very dangerous. Although accident frequencies in the petroleum and gas industries are relatively low when compared to other industries, when they do occur, because of the combustibility of the products and materials being worked with, severe injuries can often result. Safety is always an important issue. When an accident occurs due to unsafe or preventable conditions, poor equipment or certain other conditions identified by the law, the injured person may be entitled to compensation for his or her injuries.

- Sexual Abuse

Were you or was your child the victim of sexual exploitation by a counselor, therapist, doctor, or teacher? No matter what you might have said, felt, or done during the sexual abuse, sexual exploitation by clergy, youth organization leaders, psychologists, or anyone in charge of children or people in vulnerable positions is wrong.

- Spinal Cord Injury

A spinal cord injury or other serious accident injury resulting from a car crash or SUV rollover is not something that goes away you may always be injured and suffer because of it. There are medical bills, rehabilitation, extra care, medical equipment so much to pay for and you may also be out of work. It wasn't your fault someone else's carelessness caused the wreck. It's only right that they should pay for your damages.

- Wrongful Death

An action for "wrongful death" occurs when a person is killed due to the negligence or misconduct of another individual, company or entity. In instances of serious and fatal accidents, the decedent's survivors or estate may bring a lawsuit for wrongful death. Survivors include the decedent's spouse, children and parents. Texas law in this area is governed by the Texas Wrongful Death Act. Money damages that are recoverable by survivors in a wrongful death cause of action include: 1) Loss for the care, maintenance, support, services, advice and counsel had the decedent lived; 2) Loss of companionship, society and love; 3) Metal anguish; 4) Loss if inheritance; and in some cases 5) Exemplary (punitive) damages.

- Asset Forfeiture

After facing criminal charges, a defendant may also face asset forfeiture to compensate for illegal monetary gain. If the government believes that your assets were the fruit of illegal activity, it may initiate a forfeiture action to regain possession of items or monies. At Rush & Gransee, LC, we have significant experience in protecting the rights of our clients facing forfeiture actions.

The following is a summary of those sections that are used most often in charging crimes that involve drugs or controlled substances.

- Expungement and Record Sealing

After an arrest, you may face later legal obstacles to expunge your record or get your records sealed. Most records of arrest are kept by federal and state agencies. If you were actually charged with a crime, this record will be available to future employers, colleges, and other third parties interested in your criminal record. Unfortunately, even for individuals whose matters were dismissed, a criminal record is still available to the public. At Rush & Gransee, LC, our attorneys are experienced in asserting the rights of our clients seeking record expungement and record sealing of a criminal file.

- Class Actions

A class action lawsuit allows large numbers of individuals to collectively assert their claims against a common defendant. Courts allow class action suits when the issues in dispute are common to all members of the class and that the persons affected are so numerous that it would be impractical to bring separate suits against the same defendant. As such, class actions are commonly brought by individuals and consumers harmed by corporate entities. At Rush & Gransee, LC, we have experience successfully handling many types of complex litigation.
