Areas of Law Description

Burch Law Firm in New Braunfels, Texas, practices Personal Injury Law and Business Litigation. We believe those who cause harm to others should be held responsible. We help victims recover financially from a broad range of accidents and injuries, including:

- Auto Accidents

An auto accident happens in an instant, but can change your life forever. Auto accidents are a leading cause of death and disability in Texas and throughout the nation. In fact, according to the National Safety Council, you are more likely to die in a motor vehicle accident than from any other cause except cancer, heart disease, and stroke.

If you were injured in a car crash or if a member of your family suffered a wrongful death in an auto accident, you may be able to receive financial compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. If your accident was caused by a drunk driver, you may also be able to receive exemplary damages.

At the Burch Law Firm, we help auto accident victims recover financially so that they can concentrate on recovering physically and emotionally from the experience.

We will thoroughly investigate your auto accident. Attorney Troy D. Burch Jr., will obtain photographs of the scene of the accident, and the vehicles involved. We will track down and interview witnesses, review the police report and talk with the investigating officer. For no additional fee, our lawyer will help you with property damage issues, including dealing with the insurance carriers and making arrangements for you to use a rental car paid for by the insurance company.

- Truck Accidents

Truck accident claims are complex cases involving numerous potential sources of liability. The truck driver, the owner of the tractor, the owner of the trailer, the warehouse workers who loaded the truck, and the shop that performed the maintenance could all share responsibility for the damages.

We help truck accident victims recover the full amount of financial compensation they are entitled to receive. We have successfully handled a variety of 18-wheeler accident claims, including those involving:

* Driver fatigue
* Improper loading
* Improper training
* Lack of a commercial driver's license
* Alcohol or drug abuse
* Improper truck maintenance
* Dangerous and defective roadways
* Violation of Federal Motor Carrier Association regulations

Proper and timely investigation of the accident is one of the keys to success in 18- wheeler accident claims.

We will visit the accident scene and take photos of all the vehicles involved. If more time has passed, we may go to the salvage yard and attempt to buy the totaled vehicle to preserve the evidence. We will secure the data from the truck's GPS satellite tracking system and from the vehicle control module or "black box." If necessary, we will hire an accident reconstructionists or safety expert to determine how the accident happened and who is at fault. In short, we go the extra mile to nail down all the facts and put together a compelling case to present to the opposition or to a jury.

- Motorcycle Accident

New Braunfels is a popular destination for motorcyclists from throughout Texas. Residents and visitors alike enjoy the feeling of freedom and exhilaration that comes from biking through the Texas hill country.

Everyone who has ever driven a motorcycle knows that other drivers often do not see bikers. In most cases, they just were not looking. When motorcycle accidents happen, it is the motorcycle rider who pays the price. Motorcycle accident victims can suffer severe injuries, such as brain injury, spinal cord injury, multiple fractures, and internal injuries. Even with a helmet, motorcycle riders are 34 times more likely to be killed in a motor vehicle accident than are occupants of a passenger vehicle, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

If the negligence of another caused or contributed to the accident, we will identify the responsible parties and file a motorcycle accident claim for financial compensation. We will seek the maximum possible amount of money damages for your injuries, pain and suffering, medical bills, property damage, and lost wages. If the insurance companies fail to be reasonable, we will file a lawsuit on your behalf to see that you receive justice. Motorcyclists know they are taking a risk every time they hit the road. When other drivers cause them harm, we believe the negligent party should be held responsible.

- Hit & Run Accidents

You are driving down the highway when another car veers into your lane and crashes into you. After your car stops spinning, the other vehicle is nowhere in sight. You have just become the victim of a hit and run accident.

Since 1990, our car accident attorney has represented clients who were injured in hit and run accidents, as well as those who sustained injuries caused by an uninsured or underinsured motorist.

When you do not know the identity of the driver whose negligence caused you harm or if the other driver lacks adequate insurance, we will help you receive compensation for your injuries and other damages from your own insurance company.

- Brain Injury

People have become more aware of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in recent years because so many of our brave men and women in uniform have suffered TBIs. What many people do not realize, however, is that 1.5 million American civilians sustain traumatic brain injuries every year, according to the Brain Injury Association of American. That equals one every 21 seconds.

Brain injuries claim more than 50,000 lives and leave more than 80,000 individuals with lifelong disabilities each year. The most frequent cause of traumatic brain injury among civilians is motor vehicle accidents followed by firearms, falls, sports, and physical violence. We also represent family members of those who died a wrongful death due to a brain injury.

- Neck, Back, and Spine Injuries

A car accident, truck accident, or other unfortunate event can result in a painful and debilitating spine injury. Often the full extent of a neck, back, or spine injury does not become apparent until days or weeks after the accident. Then suddenly, you are incapacitated by a spine injury that leaves you unable to work and requires costly medical treatment. How will you pay for the medical expenses? How will you pay your bills when you are too injured to work?

If your injury was caused by the negligence of another, we may be able to help you receive financial compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and more.

A spine injury is an injury that can range from sprains or strains to much more serious conditions. A neck injury or back injury can cause pain or numbness that radiates from the back to the arms and legs.

- Drunk Driving Injuries

We pursue financial compensation for the victims of drunk drivers and the family members of those who died a wrongful death because someone else made the decision to drink and drive.

When someone operates a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs and causes an accident that harms another, they have displayed not just ordinary negligence to the rights and safety of others, but gross negligence. In these cases, we will attempt to recover exemplary damages for our clients in addition to financial compensation for their injuries, pain and suffering, lost wages, property damage, and medical expenses.

We represent victims of drunk driving car, truck, and boat accidents on a contingency basis. You will pay no fees unless we win your case.

- Electrocution Injuries

Electrocution injury is a leading cause of occupational fatalities. According to a study published by the Center for Injury Sciences at the University of Alabama, on-the-job electrocution injuries are most common in the electrical trades, construction, manufacturing, mining, and agriculture. Utility workers and electricians are at particularly high risk, but anyone can suffer a severe electric shock injury or death by electrocution.

At the Burch Law Firm, we represent victims of electric shock injuries and the survivors of those who died a wrongful death in an electrocution accident, including those involving:

* Overhead power lines
* Underground utility lines
* High voltage machinery
* Frayed or exposed wires
* Defective consumer products

One of our clients suffered a serious injury when he and his co-worker were drilling post holes in limestone using a tractor-mounted drill. They hit a utility line that should not have had power running through it. The co-worker was killed and our client lost the lower part of both legs in the accident. We achieved an excellent result due to our knowledge of the law and our aggressive pursuit of our client’s damages.

Because so many electrocution injuries happen on the job, victims and their families often believe they are unable to file a lawsuit, believing that workers' compensation death benefits are all they are entitled to receive. In many cases, we can sue a liable party other than the employer. Filing an injury or wrongful death claim after an electrocution accident can result in much greater amount of financial compensation for the victim or survivors.

- Burn Injuries

According to the National Fire Administration, fires killed more Americans in 2005 than all natural disasters combined. More than 3,675 civilians lost their lives and nearly 18,000 others were injured as a result of fires that year.

If you or someone you love was the victim of a burn injury, you know that burns are among the most painful type of injury anyone can sustain. Severe burns require painful medical procedures and treatments.

If your burn injury was caused by the carelessness or recklessness of another, you may be able to recover financial compensation for the pain and suffering you have endured as well as for your medical bills, lost wages, and more.

We represent victims of all types of burn injuries including those involving:

* Auto Accidents Gasoline and other flammable materials in vehicles can cause severe burn injuries.
* Home Fires The most common cause of fatal fire and burn accidents
* Explosions From gas grill and propane tank explosions to major industrial accidents
* Electrocution Burns including contact with overhead or underground utility lines to on-the-job encounters with high voltage cables
* Thermal Burns from contact with steam, flames, hot surfaces, or hot liquids
* Chemical Burns from contact with acids, alkaloids, and solvents that can literally dissolve the skin

For experienced legal representation for all types of burn injury claims, you can rely on our attorneys to get the job done right. Let us deal with the insurance companies so you can focus on recovering from your injury.

- Insurance Claims

We are experienced in helping clients whose insurance companies fail to honor valid claims or provide other policy benefits. Insurance companies can be held accountable for denied insurance claims and other unfair claims settlement practices through a consumer protection act called the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) and Unfair Claim Settlement Practices Act.

We also assist clients who have been in a car accident with a hit and run driver or an underinsured or uninsured motorist. Because insurance policies are so confusing, people are often unaware that they are covered by the uninsured/underinsured motorists' coverage and personal injury protection (PIP) portions of their own insurance policies.

In addition to auto insurance matters, our attorneys also assist clients with homeowners' insurance claims.
