PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS
Kingwood Car Accidents
Probably the single most significant cause of accidental injury or car accidents. Every day across the greater Houston area, multiple people are hurt, and some are killed in car accidents. Some are caused by simple driver negligence, such as the driver failing to stop at a stop sign—other corrections are caused by speeding or failing to yield the right-of-way.
Some of the worst car accidents in Kingwood involve drunk driving. Drunk driving accidents are responsible for a very high percentage of fatal car accidents in our area.
A Kingwood personal injury lawyer can fight the insurance companies for you. People handling a car accident or other injury claim themselves often find the process very frustrating due to the insurance company’s lowball offers and ongoing efforts to delay. Call an experienced car accident lawyer for help!
















Kingwood Trucking Accidents
Interstate 59 has multiple crashes every day near Kingwood. Some of these accidents are the fault of an 18-wheeler driver most are serious. Trucking accidents frequently involve severe injury because the big rig can weigh up to 80,000 pounds.
If you have been involved in a commercial vehicle, dealing with a truck accident attorney instead of an insurance carrier is a good step. Most people believe that insurance carriers will offer them a fair settlement. However, those representing themselves are unaware of your case’s actual value and the insurance carriers’ negotiation tactics.
Getting an experienced truck accident lawyer on your side will provide the best opportunity to maximize your compensation.
There are several common causes of tractor-trailer crashes, including:
- Careless Driving
One leading cause of truck crashes in Texas is truck drivers’ careless driving. This can include the driver:
- Playing with the radio
- Eating or drinking while driving
- Talking or texting on the phone
- Doing anything else that causes them to look away from the road
- Drowsy Driving
Sadly, many drivers have crazy driving schedules and must meet outrageous demands that limit their sleep time. This often leads to extreme drowsiness, meaning the truck driver could accidentally experience delayed reaction times or fall asleep at the wheel. Driving while drowsy is just as bad as driving drunk and is a leading cause of fatal truck accidents in Texas and throughout the country.
- Poor Maintenance
While trucks are designed to be safe and well-maintained, not all commercial fleets adhere to the practices needed to keep them that way; there are several situations where semi-trucks can cause fatal crashes because of things like poor windshield wipers, malfunctioning brakes, or other maintenance mistakes that you can generally prevent simply by checking the trucks frequently.
- Speeding
Speeding is another significant factor that can almost always magnify the seriousness of a truck accident and cause many catastrophic injuries or even death. When a negligent truck driver speeds, they can cause hazardous conditions that can lead to more risk of a devastating injury or death than any other type of crash, particularly on a highway. This is due to the truck’s impact already being extremely powerful because of its 80,000-pound weight, and the increased speed causes this impact to be even more significant.
- Weather Conditions
This makes driving the posted speed limit in itself dangerous. When weather conditions are poor, like snow, fog, ice, and heavy rain, it causes poor visibility and unsafe, slippery roads. And it’s even more hazardous when a driver is speeding. Truck drivers who don’t reduce their speed because of poor conditions could slide into other vehicles either around or in front of their truck, sometimes trapping cars under the truck or causing a multi-vehicle pileup.
- Loads
Loads can shift when transported, mainly if they’re not secured or loaded correctly. If the weather conditions are bad or the driver is speeding, it can keep them from maneuvering their truck safely.
Many individuals will be involved in a vehicle collision at some point in their lives. But, when a crash involves a semi-truck, the result can be even more catastrophic. In the aftermath of an accident like this, especially if a death is involved, hiring a leading Houston truck accident lawyer is the best decision you can make.
Benefits of Hiring A Top-Rated Truck Accident Lawyer
While certain vehicle crash cases can be and sometimes are resolved without the help of legal representation, collisions that involve commercial trucks are typically more complex. They require a lot more knowledge and experience in the legal system.
Our first fatal truck accident win happened in 1985 when a big rig was improperly parked partly on the roadway. The defense contended the truck was legally parked and the deceased was drunk when crashing into the truck. After a thorough investigation and a hard-fought lawsuit, the insurance company paid our demand and settled the case just before trial.
We have helped countless Texas families after a fatal trucking accident. Since that case, our firm has been nationally recognized as one of the best truck accident firms in the country. We are undefeated in truck accident injury and wrongful death cases. Our many multi-million dollar results in truck crash cases speak for themselves.
The process starts with retaining Baumgartner Law Firm to protect your family’s economic future. After that, we will conduct a thorough truck accident investigation and either enter into negotiations with the company or file your lawsuit.
Getting an experienced truck accident lawyer on your side will provide the best opportunity to maximize your compensation.

Daycare Neglect
Every day tens of thousands of Texas parents entrust their child’s care to daycare providers, either at a daycare center or private daycare based out of the provider’s home. Unfortunately, sometimes that trust is misplaced, resulting in a child who becomes a victim of daycare abuse – either physical, emotional, or sexual abuse or suffers a daycare injury due to neglect.
If you believe your child has been abused or injured by his or her daycare provider, pick up the phone and call the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services at 1-800-252-5400 to report the abuse immediately. Then call the Houston daycare negligence attorneys at Baumgartner Law Firm.
Standards for Texas Daycare Centers
Texas law imposes minimum standards on the operation of all childcare centers. Part of those standards requires that children in daycare centers are always supervised. This means that each child’s assigned caregiver is accountable for her care, which includes:
- Responsibility for ongoing activities;
- Maintaining appropriate visual and auditory awareness;
- Maintaining physical proximity;
- Knowledge of each child’s activity requirements and specific needs; and
- Intervening when necessary to ensure the child’s safety.
The amount of supervision required for each child depends upon the child’s age, abilities, the layout of the daycare center, and neighborhood characteristics.
Anybody who has children knows that accidents happen. Children fall, get into things they shouldn’t, and sometimes hit and bite – and it all seems to happen the second you look the other way.
But sometimes, accidents and injuries occur because of the daycare provider’s negligence and failure to adhere to the minimum safety standards imposed by law. They were understaffed, did not adequately maintain play equipment, did not keep dangerous chemicals out of the children’s reach, or failed to properly screen employees to keep dangerous sex offenders away from their children.
In cases where the daycare provider’s negligence resulted in injury or death to your child, you may be entitled to damages. Though it cannot erase the damage done to your child, it can help provide peace of mind and ensure that you have the financial means to pay for any future medical or therapy costs that may be necessary due to the injury or abuse.
