Serving Houston and Harris County from Our Cypress Creek Office
Baumgartner Law Firm is located at 6711 Cypress Creek Pkwy (FM 1960) in north Houston, with free parking and home or hospital visits by appointment. We represent injured people and families throughout Houston and Harris County, as well as Montgomery, Fort Bend, and surrounding counties where many of our clients’ cases are filed.
Most of the serious crashes we handle happen on the corridors our clients drive every day: I-45 North, US-290, Beltway 8, FM 1960, I-10, US-59/I-69 and Loop 610. Our clients are often treated at Houston Methodist Willowbrook, HCA Houston Healthcare Northwest, Memorial Hermann, and the Texas Medical Center, and we work with their physicians to document the full extent of each injury.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions Houston injury victims ask us most. If yours isn’t here, call (281) 587-1111 and ask Greg directly. The call is free.
If you’ve been in an accident in Houston, Texas, you have a limited time to take legal action. The statute of limitations sets a deadline for filing personal injury claims. You have two years from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party under Texas law.
You may lose your right to seek compensation if you miss this deadline.
However, some exceptions exist, and your case might have a different time limit. Baumgartner Law Firm can help you understand the deadlines that apply to your situation.
Contact our legal team today to protect your rights.
Determining how much a case is worth can be difficult. Lawyers need all the facts before they can give an accurate estimate. Your claim’s value depends on:
- The severity of your injuries
- Who is at fault
- The insurance limits in place
Lawyers with years of experience handling personal injury lawsuits in Texas can provide a fair estimate of your claim’s worth. We review your medical records, accident details, and available insurance before assessing.
After more than 40 years of handling personal injury cases, I have found that three practical questions usually determine whether a claim is worth pursuing:
Who was at fault?
We first look at what the other person, company, or business did wrong. A personal injury case generally requires evidence that someone else was legally responsible for causing the accident or injury.
What injuries and damages resulted?
Next, we look at the harm caused by the accident. That can include medical expenses, lost income, physical pain, disability, and the ways the injury has affected your daily life.
Is there insurance or another realistic source of recovery?
Even when fault and serious injuries are clear, we also need to determine what insurance coverage or other assets may be available to compensate you.
A strong personal injury case usually involves all three: liability, meaningful damages, and a practical source of recovery.
If you are unsure whether your situation meets those requirements, a free consultation allows us to review what happened, evaluate the available evidence, and tell you whether we believe we can help with your case.
Our injury attorneys operate on a contingency fee basis, which means there is never an upfront fee. Our injury attorneys only get paid if we get you money.
There are no upfront costs to hire Baumgartner Law Firm. Our legal fees start at 1/3 of any recovery.

As soon as possible after a serious injury, and before you give a recorded statement or accept any offer from an insurance company. The adjuster's job is to settle your claim for as little as possible, and early statements are often used against you later.
Hire a lawyer right away if any of these apply: you were hospitalized or need ongoing treatment, a commercial truck or company vehicle was involved, fault is disputed, a loved one died, or the insurer is already pressuring you to sign something.
Evidence disappears fast. Camera footage is overwritten, witnesses move, and trucking companies are only required to keep some records for months. A Houston personal injury lawyer can send preservation letters and start the investigation while the evidence still exists. The consultation is free, and there is no fee unless we recover money for you.
Most personal injury cases are resolved without a trial, but every serious case should be prepared as though a jury may ultimately decide it.
Whether a case goes to trial depends on several factors, including the strength of the evidence, the amount in dispute, the insurance company’s willingness to make a fair offer, and whether the parties can agree on the value of the claim.
At Baumgartner Law Firm, we do not prepare cases simply to settle them quickly. We investigate the facts, develop the evidence, and build each case with trial in mind. That preparation can also strengthen our position during settlement negotiations.
After more than 40 years of handling serious injury and wrongful death cases, Greg Baumgartner knows that some cases should be settled and others should be tried. The decision depends on the facts of the case, the risks involved, and what is in the client’s best interest.
In Texas, only specific individuals are permitted to file a wrongful death claim. The Texas wrongful death law explains who can seek justice and compensation for losing a loved one. This is the spouse, children, and parents.
Considerations for Multiple Claimants
When multiple eligible claimants file a wrongful death lawsuit, the court examines the relationship between each claimant and the deceased. Typically:
- The surviving spouse and children are prioritized and often awarded the largest share of any settlement or judgment.
- Parents of adult children may receive a smaller share unless they are financially or emotionally dependent on the deceased.
- When distributing compensation, the law also considers the nuances of estranged relationships, common-law marriages, or nontraditional family dynamics.
Seeking Justice for Your Loved One
Filing a wrongful death claim in Texas is not only about securing financial compensation; it’s about holding those responsible accountable and seeking justice for the loss of a cherished life. Working with our Houston wrongful death lawyer ensures that eligible family members are represented by an award-winning attorney with over 40 years of experience and proven results.
After being injured in a car accident, or as a passenger in a Uber or Lyft there are some steps that an accident victim needs to take. Steps include:
- Seeking medical care: The most important part of a case is getting medical care as soon as possible. Delays in medical treatment are one of the things adjusters love to see. The delay gives the insurance company a reason to devalue your case. Following up with needed medical treatment until your doctor releases you is also critical to your case.
- Securing evidence: There will be numerous kinds of evidence that should be gathered and secured. Important evidence includes any evidence from the incident scene (videos, witness contact info, photos or videos, and information from any officials investigating). You should retain all medical records and bills associated with the injury and treatment.
- Calling the right injury attorney: Look for an experienced car accident attorney in Houston for your case. Find an attorney with the experience and time to build a strong case and maximize your compensation. Avoid TV or billboard lawyers, as your chances of getting full compensation decrease with high-volume lawyers.
A local attorney should get involved as soon as possible so they can begin their investigation. The sooner you get the right attorney, the better you can build a winning case. Your lawyer is the key to getting full compensation. They will investigate your case, secure vital evidence, and deal with the insurance company.
