- DUI/DWIMistakes and accidents happen. But what at first glance seems like a mistake or an accident often turns out to be the result of a consistent pattern of cutting corners to reduce costs, ignoring safety regulations or misusing equipment. Negligence is defined as an action that falls below the typical standards of behavior and may include anything from drunk driving to improper diagnosis by a healthcare official. Negligence is the failure of a person to act the way a reasonable person might under similar circumstances. All people have a duty to exercise reasonable care to ensure another’s physical safety, and it is the duty of the law to enforce that right.
- Wrongful DeathWrongful death is defined as the loss of life to a person as a result of another’s intentional or unintentional actions. If an individual or entity causes harm to another person and the injuries sustained result in that person’s death, then the individual may be held liable for wrongful death. A wrongful death claim has no correlation with criminal action, meaning that even if the defendant is cleared of criminal charges, the victim’s family may still be able to pursue a civil action for wrongful death.
- Traffic Violations
- MisdemeanorsFailure to comply with the new state-wide ban could lead to a misdemeanor charge with a fine of $25 to $99, and repeat offenders can be charged up to a $200 fine. If an accident is caused by texting while driving and it results in a death or serious injury of another person, the driver can be charged with a Class A misdemeanor which comes with a fine up to $4,000 and up to a 12-month jail term.

- Corporate LawWhen you have been involved in a motorcycle accident, it’s critical to do your homework when selecting an attorney to assist you with your personal injury claim. As such, any accident victim’s case should only be handled by an attorney who has extensive experience and proper training in handling personal injury claims. Be smart when choosing an attorney, and stick with one who concentrates on this area of law–just as you wouldn’t go to a stomach doctor for a heart condition, you shouldn’t go to an attorney who specializes in corporate law to handle your personal injury claim.

The owner of the property may be held liable if it’s proven they were negligent with their property’s upkeep or maintenance. At The Barber Law Firm, we believe no one should fear getting hurt on an individual’s or company’s premises, so we take measures to ensure those who do sustain injuries from a property’s hazardous conditions get the legal counsel and representation they deserve from our premises liability attorneys.
- Property DamageThe state of Texas requires all drivers to carry a minimum amount of liability insurance coverage, which is sometimes referred to as “30/60/25”. These numbers represent the minimum amount of insurance coverage that a driver must be insured for in case of an accident. The first number—30–means that a person must carry a minimum of $30,000 in coverage for each injured person, while the 60 means that a person must be insured for at least $60,000 in damages per accident. The last number—25–represents that a person has to carry $25,000 for property damage arising out of an accident.
