SCUTT LAW PLLC

If you have been injured and are considering pursuing a personal injury claim, finding an attorney with experience handling personal injury claims is critical. It is essential to act fast on your matter. An experience Lawyer will do just that.

Some of the common types of cases where people suffer personal injuries are:

• Auto/18-wheeler/Company Truck/Motorcycle/Pedestrian Accidents
• Premises Liability Cases (Slip and Fall, Trip and Fall, Negligent Activity)
• Work Injuries
• Dog Bite Cases

As it is said, “memories fade.” So, gathering important evidence at the beginning of the matter is a must. That means making a police or incident report, taking photos of the scene of the incident and/or damaged property, talking to witnesses, and talking to authorities. Also, having your Lawyer move fast to get out letters of representation to handle all communications with all parties. Insurance companies move quickly to get recorded statements–and many cases can be damaged by not controlling information.

It is important to take action in getting a Lawyer–so look for the following:

• A Lawyer with experience handling cases like yours
• A Lawyer that will focus on the case (ask the Lawyer how many cases they are handling–are you just a number?)
• A Lawyer who has dealt with insurance companies and gone to trial
• A Lawyer who has a demeanor that you can work with and trust

In Texas, work injuries fall under one of two different categories: (1) the employer is a subscriber to worker’s compensation; or (2) the employer is a non-subscriber to worker’s compensation. This distinction is important as to what remedies the injured employee has under the law in Texas. If the employer has worker’s compensation insurance, then that is the exclusive remedy for the injured employee (unless the injury results in death and there is gross negligence on the part of the employer). In other cases when an employee is injured and the employer has worker’s compensation, the remedy is to go through worker’s compensation insurance.

If the employer did not have worker’s compensation insurance, then they are what is known as a non-subscriber, and the case proceeds in a similar manner to any other claim of negligence. This is an important distinction because the employee can seek damages like:

Past medical expenses; Future medical expenses; Pain and suffering in the past; Pain and suffering in the future; Mental anguish in the past; Mental anguish in the future; Physical impairment in the past; Physical impairment in the future; Physical disfigurement in the past; Physical disfigurement in the future; Lost wages in the past; Loss of future wage-earning capacity; Pre-judgment interest; Post-judgment interest; and Exemplary damages.

If you have been injured at work, it is important to get assistance from an attorney to help navigate these issues. Please feel free to contact Scutt Law, PLLC for a free case consultation.

Many people are looking for that illusive work-life balance. One factor is the convenience of living close to work. However, traffic and congestion can make time and distance become totally unrelated.

Traffic congestion in major cities has a tendency to do this–and this traffic and congestion can sprawl out to the near urban and suburban areas. According to the 2014-2015 census, Houston is second only to New York city in ranking for the fastest growing cities in the United States. With that growth, the West Side of Houston has felt the strain.

The convenience of the Westchase Area in Houston has attracted thousands of newcomers to the area. From the Sam Houston Tollway on the west side, key major roads like Westheimer are thoroughfairs to access key attractions like the Galleria.

According to Houston Public Media, “over 90,000 people work in the Energy Corridor near Interstate-10 and State Highway 6 […] and thousands more live and work in the surrounding areas.” With the increased congestion in the area, drivers need to stay aware to avoid other drivers that may be distracted by cell phones or not playing by the rules of the road.
