Why Spring Families Call Us

Our office has been located on Cypress Creek Parkway in Northwest Houston since 1985. That puts us a short drive from Spring, Old Town Spring, Klein, Louetta, Rayford Road, Springwoods Village, and Gleannloch Farms. For four decades, we have helped injured people from these neighborhoods stand up to insurance companies.

We are not a high-volume firm. We take a small number of serious cases so each client gets real attention. Greg Baumgartner, our founder, has been rated Preeminent by Martindale-Hubbell for decades. He has been named to Super Lawyers and the Top 100 Trial Lawyers. More important than the awards: when you call, you talk to people who know your case. Don’t take our word for it — read our client reviews.

Cases We Handle in Spring

We focus on serious injuries and deaths caused by negligence. That includes car accidents, truck and 18-wheeler crashes, motorcycle accidents, dog bites, wrongful death claims, defective products, dangerous property conditions, and catastrophic injuries like brain and spinal cord damage. We also handle Uber and Lyft accident claims.

Results for Clients in Spring

Every case is different, and past results do not guarantee a future outcome. Still, our record shows what is possible. Recent results for Spring-area clients include:

• $3,000,000 for a Spring resident hit by a commercial truck on I-45 North, who suffered spinal injuries
• $205,000 for a client with a fractured collarbone from a car wreck
• $100,000 — the full policy limit — for a dog bite victim in Spring

We do not take the insurance company’s first offer. We investigate the crash, document every injury, and add up all your damages, including future medical care and lost earning power. Then we negotiate hard. If the insurer will not pay a fair amount, we are ready to take your case to trial.

The Roads We Know

Spring sits along some of the busiest corridors in the Houston area: I-45, FM 2920, the Hardy Toll Road, and the Grand Parkway. Heavy commuter traffic and constant truck traffic make these roads dangerous. Crash data from the Texas Department of Transportation shows a reportable crash happens in Texas about every minute. We have handled cases from these exact roads for decades. We know the crash patterns, and we know the tactics local insurance adjusters use to shrink payouts.

What to Do After an Accident in Spring

First, get medical care right away, even if you feel okay. Some serious injuries do not show up for days. Second, follow your doctor’s instructions. Gaps in treatment hurt both your health and your claim. Third, save everything: photos, witness names, the crash report, and your bills. Fourth, do not give the other side’s insurance company a recorded statement before you talk to a lawyer. Finally, do not accept any settlement offer until someone reviews it for you. We will tell you, for free, whether the offer is fair.

How Your Case Will Work

If we take your case, here is what happens:

• We investigate the accident and gather evidence: photos, witness statements, and the official crash report.
• We hire experts when the case needs them, such as accident reconstruction specialists.
• We review every insurance policy that might apply, so no money is left on the table.
• We collect your medical records and talk with your doctors about how the injury affects your daily life.
• We present your full damages to the insurance company and demand fair payment.
• If the insurer refuses, we file suit. Cases from Spring are usually filed in the Harris County District Courts in downtown Houston, and we handle every step for you.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

The value of a claim depends on the facts, the severity of your injuries, and the insurance available. Compensation in a Texas injury case may include past and future medical bills, lost wages, reduced ability to earn in the future, pain and suffering, mental anguish, physical impairment, loss of enjoyment of life, out-of-pocket costs, and property damage.

No Fee Unless We Win

We handle injury cases on a contingency fee. That means the consultation is free, we advance all case costs, and we only get paid if we recover money for you. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery, typically 33 to 40 percent depending on whether the case goes into litigation. If we do not win, you owe us nothing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file an injury lawsuit in Texas?

In most cases, two years from the date of the injury. This deadline comes from Section 16.003 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. Some exceptions apply, such as claims involving children or government entities, which can have different deadlines. Talk to a lawyer early so you do not lose your rights.

What if the accident was partly my fault?

You can still recover money in Texas as long as you were not more than 50 percent at fault. This is called proportionate responsibility. Your compensation is reduced by your share of the blame. If you were 20 percent at fault, you recover 80 percent of your damages.

How much is my case worth?

It depends on your injuries, your medical treatment, your lost income, your future care needs, and the insurance coverage available. Read our guide on how much a personal injury case is worth, or call us and we will give you an honest assessment for free.

Should I talk to a lawyer if the insurance company already made an offer?

Yes. Early offers usually come before anyone knows the full value of your claim. Once you accept, you cannot ask for more, even if your injuries turn out worse than expected.

What does it cost to hire your firm?

Nothing up front. We only collect a fee if we recover money for you.

Where would my lawsuit be filed?

Most injury lawsuits for Spring accidents are filed with the Harris County District Clerk in Houston. Accidents in the Montgomery County part of the Spring area may be filed in Conroe. We handle the filing and every court deadline for you.

Do you meet with clients from Spring?

Yes. Our office at 6711 Cypress Creek Parkway is about 15 minutes from most Spring neighborhoods, just off I-45 and Cypress Creek Parkway. If you cannot travel because of your injuries, we can meet by phone or video, or come to you.
