What Is a Personal Injury Case?
A personal injury case arises when someone is harmed due to another party’s negligence or intentional actions. These cases allow victims to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Common Examples Include:
- Car and Truck Accidents – Collisions caused by distracted or reckless drivers.
- Slip and Fall Injuries – Unsafe property conditions that lead to falls.
- Workplace Accidents – Injuries on construction sites, in factories, or in offices.
- Dog Bites—Attacks that cause physical harm or infection.
- Product Liability Claims – Injuries from defective or unsafe products.
- Medical Malpractice – Harm resulting from errors by medical professionals.
According to the National Safety Council (2023), motor vehicle crashes alone cause over 42,000 deaths annually in the U.S., with millions more suffering injuries. In Houston, traffic-related accidents are a leading cause of emergency room visits, making personal injury claims a critical legal resource for victims.
Common Personal Injury Causes in Houston
Houston’s busy streets, workplaces, and public spaces create many opportunities for accidents. Some of the most frequent causes include:
1. Motor Vehicle Accidents
Car crashes are the leading cause of injury in Texas. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, there were over 400,000 crashes in 2023, resulting in over 1,200 deaths and 200,000 injuries.
2. Slip and Fall Accidents
Wet floors, uneven surfaces, and unsafe property conditions result in thousands of slip-and-fall injuries each year. CDC data shows that falls are a leading cause of non-fatal injuries in the U.S., particularly in public and commercial spaces.
3. Workplace Accidents
Construction sites, factories, and warehouses account for many workplace injuries. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that in 2023, there were 2.8 million non-fatal workplace injuries and illnesses nationwide.
4. Product Liability
Defective or poorly designed products can cause serious harm. Product liability claims may involve manufacturers, distributors, or retailers.
5. Medical Malpractice
Medical errors remain a significant cause of preventable injury in the U.S., with studies estimating over 250,000 deaths annually due to medical mistakes.
Common Causes of Personal Injury in Houston
Personal injuries often happen because someone failed to act responsibly. Knowing the common causes helps you protect your rights and strengthen a legal claim.
Distracted Driving
- The leading cause of car and truck accidents in Houston.
- Includes texting, phone calls, eating, or adjusting music.
- TXDOT reports over 150,000 crashes in 2023 involved distracted driving.
Speeding & Reckless Driving
- High speeds reduce reaction time and increase crash severity.
- Aggressive driving, like tailgating or weaving, is common.
- Speeding contributed to 30% of fatal crashes in Texas (2023).
Unsafe Property Conditions
- Slip-and-fall accidents occur on wet floors, broken stairs, or in poorly lit areas.
- CDC reports falls are a top cause of non-fatal injuries in the U.S.
- Property owners may be liable if they fail to maintain safe conditions.
Negligent Medical Care
- Misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and delayed treatment are all examples of negligent medical care.
- Studies estimate over 250,000 deaths annually in the U.S. due to medical errors.
- Texas victims can file medical malpractice claims.
Defective Products
- Products that are unsafe or poorly designed can cause injuries.
- These injuries can be caused by manufacturers, distributors, or retailers.
- U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports 30,000+ hospitalizations yearly from product-related injuries.
Workplace Hazards
- High-risk jobs include construction, manufacturing, and warehouse work.
- Common accidents include falls, machinery injuries, and chemical exposure.
- BLS reports 2.8 million non-fatal workplace injuries in 2023.
Types of Damages You Can Recover
A Houston personal injury lawyer can help you recover both economic and non-economic damages:
Economic Damages
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Lost wages
- Property damage
- Rehabilitation and therapy costs
Non-Economic Damages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Physical impairment
Wrongful Death Damages
If a loved one dies due to negligence, family members may recover damages for funeral expenses, lost financial support, and emotional loss.
Common Personal Injury Myths
Many people avoid filing claims because of common misconceptions. Understanding the truth can protect your rights and help you recover the compensation you deserve.
- Myth 1: Minor injuries aren’t worth filing a claim
Even “minor” injuries can lead to medical bills, therapy, or delayed complications. Filing a claim ensures you are compensated for all current and future damages. - Myth 2: Insurance will pay everything automatically
 Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. They may deny claims or offer low settlements. A lawyer ensures you get the compensation you deserve. - Myth 3: Personal injury cases always go to court
 Most cases settle out of court. Only a small percentage go to trial. Having a lawyer ensures you are prepared if a trial is necessary. - Myth 4: You can’t recover if you share fault
 Texas uses a modified comparative fault system. You can recover damages even if you are partially at fault, as long as your share of responsibility is 50% or less.
Houston Accident Hotspots
Certain areas of Houston see higher accident rates due to traffic, construction, and recreational activity. Knowing these hotspots can help illustrate the risks and establish local relevance for personal injury claims.
1. Downtown Houston & Major Highways
High traffic volume and congestion contribute to frequent car and truck accidents. Major highways like I‑45, I‑10, and US‑59 are common accident sites.
2. Galleria & Memorial Areas
Busy shopping districts and high-speed streets make these areas prone to collisions and pedestrian accidents.
3. Industrial Zones & Construction Sites
Factories, warehouses, and construction zones are high-risk areas for workplace injuries, falls, and equipment accidents.
4. Local Parks & Recreational Areas
Slips, falls, and bicycle or vehicle accidents are common in parks, trails, and recreational spaces where both vehicles and pedestrians share the area.

My experience with Roxell Richards law firm was nothing short of incredible. The effort and energy given to my case was phenomenal, it really made my job easy. From the initial intake conversation to the close statements and disbursement I have been very impressed and pleased. I had been with two others firms before this one and they both were subpar as far as results, communication and the effort they gave. Overall I am very pleased and I’ve already recommended you guys to two individuals who have been involved in accidents. Keep up the work ethics that you guys implement here at this firm it’s noticeable and appreciated, thanks again for the seamless effort in my case.

It was a pleasure working with the Roxell Richards Law Firm. After my accident I was unsure what to do or if I had a case or how to go about it. I spoke with Roxell Richards directly about my case and she made me feel at ease when she accepted my case and told me I had nothing to worry about. The firm instantly started working on my case by setting me up with doctors, chiropractors, pain management specialists and so on. I felt like I had a team of doctors and lawyers on my side. Roxell Richards Law Firm stayed in contact with me updates and information on my case. They were there to answer all my questions and concerns. Final Roxell Richards Law Firm got the insurance company to settle in my favor for over $100000. It was pleasure working with Roxell Richards and if I ever need an attorney again, she will be my first phone call.

Shout out to Attorney Richards and her whole team! She means what she say, "GET PAID, NOT PLAYED"! I switched to Roxell Richards Law Firm from another law firm after hearing her commercial on FM 92.1. Roxell Richards Law Firm picked up where the other law firm dropped the ball and delivered! This law team possesses professionalism and timely follow-ups with communications via text, phone call, and a portal keeping the client's best interest as a priority. They empathize with the client and WILL FIGHT FOR YOU! And now a few months later, I just got paid!!

To start, the Roxell Richard’s law firm has done a great job on both of my situations. I took interest knowing that they specialize in rideshare accidents and the fact that the team is knowledgeable and work well together. I also noticed that the firm consists of young talent from all walks of life. They are thorough and respectful over the phone, but in person, they really have it well put together to say the least. No one wants and looks to have accidents, but after they treated me so well on the first one, the moment I had the second accident, I immediately called and they got right on it! I must say, I am extremely happy with my results and you will be happy as well. My advice to you: give them a try!

My experience with Roxell Richards law firm has been overwhelming at times to say the least. I believe that this can happen in any accident case, but I can also say that when I would contact her office she has always been able to clam my anxiety and clear up any concerns I may be experiencing at the time. I would definitely recommend her if you’ re in need of a great accident lawyer. I believe she is fare and if you are dissatisfied about anything she will do her best to rectify the problem. Last but not least, with a smile on my face “I got paid and not played”. I’m loving my new vehicle!
Thank you,

After a long strenuous battle, we were able to get our money which the firm literally promised our deposit and whatever rent monies were paid into our lease. I received that and more! I am so grateful that Ms. Richards took her to represent us with no upfront fees. It takes a lot of courage to stand up for multiple people who are minorities in an over looked area and give us the respect we deserved because we are humans. I would recommend this law firm if they can represent you depending on your legal circumstances.

I had knee surgery 2 years ago and after the car accident, it became unstable and was hurting everyday. I wasn’t so sure about getting a lawyer when I had a car accident and did not know where to start. Roxell and her team made the process extremely easy and helped me get my knee therapy. Not only that, they completely handled the communications with the insurance and made the experience hassle free, Martha especially was extremely helpful. She was very honest and showed the transparency of the process from beginning to end - my favorite part! Highly recommend to get in touch with this firm.
