Many people, including attorneys, regard auto accident litigation as a simple, open and shut type of case; however, this is often not the truth. At DeHart Crockett, P.C. we have a proven track record of negotiating with insurance companies to fairly compensate our clients for their injuries. However, when the insurance company refuses to do the right thing, DeHart Crockett, P.C. will aggressively prosecute your claim in the courtroom using all of our resources and experience.

When a death is caused by the misconduct or negligence of another person or company, the law provides for compensation of the survivors, which may include the spouse, parents, and children of the deceased. The misconduct or negligence can range from an act of momentary negligence or carelessness to an intentional or reckless act. In Texas, the law allows for the compensation to the survivors based on the damages suffered by the deceased, as well as the loss suffered by the survivors themselves, including pecuniary loss (loss of care, maintenance, support, services, advice and contributions of monetary value), mental anguish, loss of companionship, and loss of inheritance.

When someone is injured as a result of unsafe property or building conditions, they may have a right to make a claim for their damages against the owner of the property. A business owner has a duty to provide a safe place for its employees to work and its customers to visit. At DeHart Crockett, P.C. we handle premises liability that has resulted in serious identifiable injuries to the individual.

Product manufacturers and retailers have a responsibility to protect the consumers who use their products. Manufacturers and designers must ensure that their products are not defective or inherently dangerous when used appropriately, and wholesalers and retailers are expected to keep unsafe products off their shelves. If this is not done, consumer may have a claim against the person or entity that participated in making or marketing a defective product or an entity that put such product into the stream of commerce. This suit could include all entities in the product's chain of distribution responsible for the harm. DeHart Crockett, P.C. assists clients in pursuing claims against the responsible parties under these and similar circumstances.
