- Dog Bite

Dog and pet owner liability law has been a constantly evolving and changing area. The traditional rule of the Common Law, was based in premises liability. It still applies in some places, particularly in rural areas. Most major cities and many smaller ones as well, however, have enacted more strict ordinances such as “dangerous dog” codes or “leash laws” which place a higher burden of care on the dog owner. There is also a statewide law now, known as “Lillian’s Law” that creates criminal responsibility in certain circumstances when a dog owner allows a known dangerous dog to run at large. If you have been injured due to an unprovoked attack by someone else’s animal, you need a dog bite lawyer who knows how to research the correct laws for your area and apply them to your advantage. At Simmons and Fletcher, we have handled numerous dog bite and animal attack cases and we have the skills to find the laws that may assist your specific case.

- Maritime Law

Simmons and Fletcher practice maritime law for the Gulf Coast region. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured or suffered wrongful death on a drilling or jack-up rig, barge, tug boat, tanker, shrimp boat or cruise ship, your due justice may be served under the Jones Act. Section 27 of the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 is known as the Jones Act and it protects the rights of seaman and workers employed on navigable waters.

- Premises Liability

Our firm handles a large number of premises liability cases involving the negligence of a homeowner or commercial property owner, such as:

. Construction site accidents;
. Slip and falls;
. Apartment complex falls;
. Railing and balcony accidents;
. Swimming pool accidents and drownings;
. Amusement park accidents;
. Carnival ride accidents;
. Improper lighting;
. Animal bites;
. Falling objects;
. Negligent security;
. Poor lighting.

• Brown Recluse Spider Bite

Legal issues involving a brown recluse bite typically arise when 1) the bite occurs at a permanent or temporary residence, 2) the person is unaware that the spider is a brown recluse and, therefore, unaware of it’s dangers and; 3) there exists a special relationship between the resident and residence owner such as rentor-rentee, lessor-lessee, or other landlord-tenant relationship. Persons leasing properties, renting hotel or motel rooms, or renting apartments may have a cause of action against a negligent landlord who fails to exterminate a spider infestation.

• Slip and Fall Injuries

If you have been injured in a premises liability accident, it is in your best interests to hire an experienced personal injury lawyer right away. Spills may cause a slip-and-fall accident, ice and snow may cause a serious fall, or a faulty railing may lead to a fall down the stairs. If you wait to speak with an attorney who will take quick action in your case, it is possible that the problem will be repaired and the evidence will disappear. Contact an attorney who will investigate the scene right away, before the negligent party can change or repair the faulty condition on the premises.

- Product Liability

If you or a loved one have been injured as the result of a defective product of one type or another (or if you have experienced the death of a family member due to a dangerous, defective product) you need to make certain that you have experienced product liability attorneys on your side. Towards this goal, you will want to consider the services that the trial attorneys at Simmons & Fletcher can provide to you in regard to a product liability case.

- Medical Liability

How do you know if your situation falls under the health care liability claims umbrella? Well, according to Texas Law, you have one if your claim meets these three requirements:

. It is against some type of health care provider;
. It deals with treatment or the failure to treat, which then leads to an injury or death;
. There is a departure from accepted medical and health care standards.

Does this sound like the situation you have found yourself in? If so, contact Simmons and Fletcher and let’s talk about your potential claim.

• Medical Malpractice

Whether you were harmed by a drug your doctor prescribed you or you were injured in the hospital, Simmons and Fletcher can connect you with a medical malpractice attorney skilled in health care negligence related lawsuits.

By enlisting the aid of an experienced lawyer, you can:

. Have the best chance of reaching a fair settlement;
. Ease the anxiety related to dealing with a debilitating injury;
. Get back to your everyday life as soon as possible.

We realize that in many cases, you can never full recover from the injuries caused by a doctor’s negligence. But when you place yourself in the hands of a skilled medical malpractice attorney, you can more quickly get started down the long road to recovery.

• Nursing Home Negligence

While it is sometimes difficult to be 100% certain that nursing home negligence is taking place, there are clues that can tip you off. If you are concerned that your relative is the victim of such negligence, keep an eye out for:

1. Unexplained weight loss — Is your parent inexplicably losing weight? If so, there is a chance that the nursing home caregivers are not properly feeding them.
2. Dehydration — Your elderly relative’s hydration is a basic responsibility of the nursing home staff. Failing to stay hydrated can result in serious medical complications and can be grounds for a nursing home neglect lawsuit.
3. Bed sores — Your parent should not have bed sores (ubiquitous ulcers) Period. If they do, someone is not properly tending to their needs.
4. Unsanitary conditions — Is your mother obviously unbathed? Are her sheets or clothing soiled? If so, she may be the victim of neglect. Sure accidents occur, but if this is a recurring theme, you need to call Simmons and Fletcher.
5. Public desertion — Was your parent left alone by a nursing home aide in a public place? This is an obvious endangerment and possible grounds for a neglect suit.

If you see any of the above signs, document them and contact us to speak to a nursing home negligence lawyer immediately.
