My name's Bryant Fitts. I'm a personal injury lawyer in Houston, Texas, and I'm here today to talk to you about the things you need to look for when searching for a personal injury attorney. I thought of this because a few days ago my son asked me what I did for a living, and I told him that we put people's lives back together. Most people contact us when they're down and out. They've either got a serious personal injury or they've suffered serious injury or damage to their property. And so, when people find us, they need help. They need help fast and they need experienced help and they need people to communicate with them, and those are the three things I think you need to look for when looking for a personal injury attorney. You need to look for somebody with experience, somebody who's been able to get results, and somebody who will communicate with you.

In terms of experience, you need to look for a lawyer who has experience handling the claim that you need help with. We have over 15 years of experience handling industrial refinery explosions, plant explosions, petrochemical disasters, catastrophic automobile accidents, 18-wheeler accidents, and denied property insurance claims as well. Our job is to put our experience to work for you and maximize the recovery you can get for your claim. Because the way our legal system is set up, the only way for you to get put back into the same condition you were in before your catastrophic event is to receive money. There's no other way to compensate you, so we use our experience to get you as much money as possible and maximize the value of your claim. How do we do that?

Number one, we assure you get the best medical care possible. That means finding doctors who will make sure they can put you back in the best shape possible so you are healed and you can carry on with your life. Sometimes, some injuries are so catastrophic that you'll never be the same, but we will try to find you the best doctors who can take care of you the best so you'll have the best medical care and be entitled to the maximum recovery for your claim.

We have been involved in some of the largest industrial explosions in the nation. To put it quite simply, we work on very large cases. We have worked side-by-side with some of the best lawyers in the nation, and we continue to do so on a daily basis. Some of the cases we have handled include the Texas City Refinery explosion that was owned by British Petroleum. We have also worked on the Deepwater Horizon case, which was an offshore rig that exploded years ago. Recently, we were retained to work on an explosion in Louisiana where we obtained the largest settlement in Louisiana for that year.

... Finally, when you're looking for a lawyer, you need to consider their communication. The number one complaint against lawyers is lack of communication, and I'll admit, we do our very, very best to communicate with our clients on a daily basis, but sometimes we fail. But in our office, we have a rule that you must return a phone call to a client, or an email, within four hours. So, when you hire our firm, we will communicate with you and we will tell you what's going on with your case. A lot of times in the legal process though, there's periods of the claim when it's kind of hurry up and wait so to speak, where it just … it seems like nothing's going on, but there’s actually work going on behind the scenes. So, when you're interviewing attorneys for your potential personal injury or property damage claim, please consider their experience, their results, and their ability to communicate with you.
