PERSONAL INJURY PASADENA, TX

Pasadena Personal Injury Lawyer

Serving Clients Throughout Harris County Since 1992

A serious injury can change your life in an instant. Medical bills can pile up at a time when you may be unable to work, and your physical and emotional recovery can feel overwhelming—especially when someone else’s negligence caused your injuries.

At West & West, LLP, our Pasadena personal injury attorney is here to help you pursue justice. We handle every aspect of your case so you can focus on healing. With decades of experience, we know how to build strong claims, fight insurance companies, and secure the compensation you need to move forward.


What Is a Personal Injury Claim in Pasadena?

In Texas, a personal injury claim arises when someone suffers harm due to another party’s negligence or misconduct. As long as someone else was at fault, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses—even if your accident occurred in a complex setting like a job site or public property.

Our Pasadena personal injury attorney handles a wide range of accident cases, including:

  • Car Accidents – Whether it’s a fender bender or a major collision, we help victims injured by distracted, reckless, or negligent drivers.

  • Truck Accidents – Crashes involving 18-wheelers and commercial trucks often result in catastrophic injuries and complex liability issues. We handle claims against trucking companies, drivers, and other responsible parties.

  • DUI Accidents – Drunk or drug-impaired driving is inexcusable. If you’ve been injured by a driver under the influence, we will fight to hold them fully accountable for your damages.

  • Construction Accidents – If your injury was caused by a third party or gross negligence, you may be able to file a personal injury claim outside of workers’ comp.

  • Premises Liability – Slip-and-falls, dog bites, and other injuries caused by unsafe property conditions are compensable under Texas premises liability law.

  • Defective Products – If a faulty product caused your injury, we can help you hold the manufacturer or distributor responsible.

Act quickly: Texas has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. Don’t wait to get the help you need.


DUI Accident Claims in Pasadena, TX

Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is not only criminal—it’s a form of gross negligence that endangers everyone on the road. DUI-related accidents often cause devastating injuries and fatalities, especially when high speeds or head-on collisions are involved.

If you or a loved one was injured by a drunk driver in Pasadena, West & West will:

  • Pursue full compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more

  • Seek punitive damages when appropriate to punish egregious behavior

  • Work with law enforcement, toxicology experts, and accident reconstruction professionals to build a compelling case

Even if the impaired driver faces criminal charges, you can still file a civil personal injury claim to recover financial damages.


Truck Accidents Require an Experienced Legal Team

Accidents involving large trucks or commercial vehicles are different from typical car accidents. They involve more serious injuries, more parties (e.g., the driver, the trucking company, and the cargo loader), and more aggressive insurance companies.

Our firm has extensive experience with truck crash claims, including those involving:

  • Fatigued or distracted drivers

  • Overloaded or improperly secured cargo

  • Brake failure or equipment malfunction

  • Violations of federal trucking regulations

Truck companies often have teams of lawyers working to reduce their liability. Let us fight back on your behalf.


Building Your Pasadena Injury Case

To succeed in your case, our firm will gather strong evidence that proves liability and the full extent of your losses. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

  • Accident reports and medical records

  • Witness statements and surveillance footage

  • Expert analysis (e.g., accident reconstruction, medical testimony)

  • Photos of the scene and your injuries

  • Employment and wage loss documentation

We handle everything while you focus on your recovery.


Common Injuries in Personal Injury Cases

Some of the most serious injuries we see include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and spinal cord injuries

  • Severe burns and permanent disfigurement

  • Crushed or broken bones

  • Organ damage and internal bleeding

  • Limb loss or amputation

  • Mental health issues such as PTSD or depression

We work with medical experts to accurately calculate the long-term impact of your injuries.


Compensation You May Be Entitled To

You may be eligible to recover compensation for:

  • Current and future medical expenses

  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity

  • Pain and suffering

  • Emotional distress

  • Loss of enjoyment of life

  • Disfigurement or permanent disability

  • Punitive damages in cases of extreme negligence (e.g., DUI)

We’ll fight to ensure every loss is accounted for in your claim.


Don’t Face Insurance Companies Alone

Insurance companies are focused on minimizing payouts—not doing what’s right for you. They may:

  • Offer a low initial settlement

  • Delay or deny your claim

  • Try to blame you for the accident

Our Pasadena injury attorney will handle all negotiations and protect your rights. If a fair settlement isn’t possible, we are prepared to take your case to court.

I used West & West for my personal injury claim - a slip and fall that involved a trip to the emergency room. Michael West was able to successfully get my medical bills paid and I walked away with money in my pocket. Both Michael and his paralegal were very helpful throughout the whole process.

West and West did an excellent job representing our family's estate settlement during the probate process. They are skilled, up to date, and were patient with us and the beneficiaries and helped us keep everything on track during our extended process. Laura and the others were always amazing with us too.

I hired West & West back in June when I was T-boned by another driver. Hiring West & West was the best thing I could have done. They treated me like family and not just another case in the books. Michael West is an excellent attorney. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone who has been in a car accident, or anyone seeking legal help. Amazing law firm and staff!!!

I enjoyed dealing with a local law firm with strong roots in the community. Probating my Uncle's Will was emotional and personal, but the staff made the process easier than I ever imagined. The process was smooth and easy. The care shown by the staff is knowledgeable and caring.
