Areas of Law Description

- Personal Injury

At the law firm of Colley & Colley, L.L.P., we know East Texas well and we care about the safety of its people.

- Wrongful Death

Since 1981 and 1987, respectively, attorneys Paul Colley Jr. and Susan Colley have been a trusted resource for individuals and families across Texas whose lives have been forever changed by catastrophic accidents. While we recognize that a financial recovery can never truly compensate you for a loved one's life, we know how to evaluate wrongful death claims and obtain outcomes that make a positive difference in our clients' futures.

- Boating Accident

Recreational boating, fishing, water skiing and other activities on the water are popular pursuits for many people in the Hill Country region of Texas. East Texas also has its popular freshwater lakes, paddling rivers and other aquatic destinations. Serious accidents take place on Lake Travis, Lake Austin, Lake Tyler, Lake Georgetown, Granger Lake and other bodies of water throughout our state — leaving victims facing a costly and difficult recovery or survivors grieving a tragic wrongful death.

- Work Accident

People who are seriously injured on their jobs often face an array of difficult and intimidating challenges. Paying overwhelming medical treatment costs, inability to return to the same occupation, the need for costly physical rehabilitation and support for your family may be critical considerations.

- Brain Injury

Any brain injury can have a serious impact on your daily life. In the worst cases, victims suffer severe disabilities and may need 24-hour care. At Colley & Colley, L.L.P., our firm is experienced in handling a wide range of brain injury cases and in pursuing maximum compensation for victims and their families after an accident. We understand the severe impact an injury can have on your life and will pursue every avenue of recovery on your behalf.

We will take every necessary step to help you recover for personal needs, professional rehabilitation, long-term care needs and any other losses you have suffered.

- Paralysis

Were you involved in a serious accident that left you debilitated or paralyzed? Was someone you love left in a paraplegic or quadriplegic state? These injuries are devastating to victims and their families and have a lifelong impact that cannot be reversed. At Colley & Colley, L.L.P., our firm is experienced in representing the victims and families of paraplegia in Tyler, Austin and throughout East Texas. We will take a strategic approach to address your immediate needs and secure your compensation.

- Head Injury

In an auto collision or a hard fall, the person's head or face may take the brunt of the impact. These can be serious and lasting injuries, requiring surgery or resulting in permanent disability or disfigurement. The personal injury lawyers of Colley & Colley, L.L.P., have helped clients in East Texas and statewide maximize their compensation for head injuries and facial injuries.

- Car Accident

Car accidents happen all too frequently in the Austin metro area, where our urban and highway traffic mix can be dangerous and change your life in an instant. If you or a loved one has suffered serious injuries in a crash, you may have many questions. Will insurance cover your medical care? How will you pay bills if you cannot work? Do you need to file a lawsuit? At Colley & Colley, L.L.P., you can work directly with a lawyer who has decades of experience handling high-value car accident claims.

- Truck Accident

People involved in collisions with 18-wheelers and other huge commercial trucks often suffer major, life-changing injuries. The sheer size and force of a big rig almost always make a truck accident serious, and the issues in these cases can be extremely complex. Such accidents are unfortunately common in Central Texas, on Interstate 35 and other roadways in Travis County, William

- Drunk Driving Accident

When drunk drivers cause accidents, the injuries and property damage are often extremely severe. If you have been injured or tragically lost a loved one because of this reckless behavior, you may face a long, difficult recovery and have many critical concerns.

- Train Track Crossing Injury

If you drive frequently in East Texas, near cities such as Tyler, Longview and Henderson and through counties including Smith, Gregg, Harrison and Nacogdoches, you may have encountered railroad crossings thousands of times without much thought. However, collisions at train crossings are not a thing of the past, as you may have recently discovered.

- Bicycle Accident

Bicycles are rapidly gaining popularity among adults in many parts of Texas, including Greater Austin and Tyler, and nothing compares to a bike for children on the move. Sadly, as the number of bicycles on our streets and roads increases, so do the number of accidents. When a car-bicycle collision occurs, the injuries to the vulnerable rider are often catastrophic.

- Pedestrian Accident

In the cities, pedestrians are at risk at collision intersections. Even in the country, victims are at risk from high-speed drivers who are not paying attention to the shoulder. When drivers are negligent, pedestrians can suffer severe, catastrophic and even fatal injuries. At Colley & Colley, L.L.P., our attorneys are experienced in the investigation of complex claims involving pedestrian victims and their families throughout Austin, Tyler and East Texas.

- Motorcycle Accident

Most motorcyclists know another rider who has been injured in a crash, but we cannot anticipate all the challenges and pivotal life issues that arise if we become victims. Sadly, even a motorcyclist who takes all possible safety precautions can suffer life-changing injuries in a collision, a crash caused by taking evasive action, or other accident. At Colley & Colley, L.L.P., in Austin and Tyler, our attorneys associate and identify with motorcyclists. In fact, trial lawyer Paul Colley Jr. is a longtime motorcycle rider and enthusiast. We will prioritize coming to your aid after a motorcycle crash, helping you deal with complex insurance issues and seeking just compensation through a lawsuit if that is the best course of action.

- Product Liability

If you have been injured by a dangerous, defective product, you may be unable to work and face severe stress over your bills and your future. What are your rights? Can you file a lawsuit and collect financial damages for the harm done to you? The idea of taking legal action against an auto manufacturer, pharmaceutical company or other large corporation may be intimidating, but our lawyers have done so successfully many times over the past three decades.

- Rollover Accident

An SUV, van or other vehicle rollover is one of the most horrific types of roadway accident, almost always causing fatalities or catastrophic injuries. Although some rollover crashes are caused by extraordinary circumstances, we have known for decades that many are due to tire defects leading to blowouts, inherent vehicle design defects and other product deficiencies.

- Medical Malpractice

We all put our trust in doctors, nurses and other medical professionals to provide skilled, diligent care and treatment. Today, this often means trusting a system that involves corporate health care providers as well. Sometimes negligence causes this system to fail people, with severe and even fatal consequences.

- Hospital Negligence

In a time when many medical malpractice cases require action against a hospital rather than any individual physician or other professional, it is very important to speak with an experienced lawyer if you believe you or a family member has been injured by negligence. A range of medical mistakes may justify action to recover the compensation you deserve.

- Surgical Errors

All surgery involves some risk, but we cannot anticipate a surgeon's or hospital's negligence being the deciding factor in the outcome. If you have lost a loved one or suffered severe injury due to a surgical error, you may have a legal right to compensation that helps you move forward in life.

- Plastic Surgery Error

Millions of plastic surgery procedures are performed throughout the U.S. each year for a wide range of purposes. In most cases, whether the procedure is corrective or cosmetic, patients are given reassurance that risks are minimal. Surgery always involves risk, however, and as you may have learned under severe circumstances, plastic surgery can go wrong.

- Birth Injury

If you have a child who suffered cerebral palsy, brain damage or some other serious birth injury, you are almost certainly asking major questions about the future. How will you provide your child with the time, care and help he or she needs to live the best life possible? Along with these questions, you may have good reason to suspect or believe that medical negligence occurred. If you believe a doctor's or hospital's mistake caused your child's cerebral palsy or other brain injury, shoulder dystocia or another serious condition, the accomplished lawyers of Colley & Colley, L.L.P., may be able to help you recover compensation you need and deserve.

- Real Estate and Business Law

Disputes often arise after contract formation, between business partners, or involving complex real estate transactions. At Colley & Colley, L.L.P., attorneys represent individuals, families and small businesses in claims involving business and real estate litigation throughout Tyler, Austin and East Texas. We understand the significant investments that are at stake and will aggressively pursue your rights and interests, either through negotiation and settlement or through trial when necessary.

At Colley & Colley, L.L.P., our firm is prepared and experienced in dealing with wrongful foreclosure cases throughout Tyler and Austin, Texas. Our lawyers understand the stress, frustration, and loss you have suffered and will aggressively pursue your rights to compensation.

- Breach of Contract

A broken contract has a ripple effect. You have time and money invested, and perhaps other projects or obligations contingent on the contract in question. The business relationship is broken and perhaps your own reputation or the goodwill of your company is damaged. The law firm of Colley & Colley, L.L.P., offers seasoned counsel for contract disputes. We can step in swiftly to assess the implications of a breach of contract and explore your remedies. We are committed to your best interests and sensitive to the cost and distraction of litigation.

- Small Business Litigation

In a small business, a serious disagreement among the owners can quickly get out of hand. Perhaps an outside perspective can help resolve the conflict. Perhaps you need advice or action to protect your interests.
