At Nixon Law PLLC, we provide aggressive, uncompromising representation for personal injury victims across Texas. Led by Managing Attorney Jonathon G. Nixon, our firm approaches every case with a trial-ready mindset. From the moment you retain our firm, we launch a comprehensive investigation to preserve critical evidence, working closely with industry-leading experts such as medical professionals, accident reconstructionists, and engineers.

Comprehensive Representation Across Personal Injury Claims

Our firm handles a wide array of personal injury matters, focusing on cases where negligence has caused severe harm. We represent clients in the following key areas:

Motor Vehicle Accidents: Collisions on Texas roads often result in catastrophic injuries. We handle complex cases involving commercial 18-wheelers, where we pursue negligent truck drivers and the corporate entities behind them for violating safety regulations. We also advocate for vulnerable motorcyclists, pedestrians, and bicyclists, and navigate the intricate insurance coverage issues inherent in rideshare accidents. When an at-fault driver lacks adequate coverage, we aggressively pursue claims against your own Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) policy.

Premises Liability: Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe environments for visitors. We hold negligent landlords, retail operators, and commercial business owners accountable when dangerous conditions cause severe injuries. This includes slip and fall accidents caused by unmarked hazards, trip and falls due to uneven walkways, and injuries resulting from inadequate security, swimming pool code violations, or falling merchandise. We work to prove that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to correct it or provide adequate warnings.

Product Liability: When defective products cause catastrophic injuries, we take on the major corporations responsible. We handle claims involving defective auto parts, dangerous medical devices, harmful pharmaceuticals, toxic substances, and hazardous industrial equipment. Whether the issue is a design defect, a manufacturing flaw, or a failure to provide adequate warnings, we meticulously analyze the product to establish a clear chain of causation between the defect and your injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas?

Under Texas law, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, exceptions can apply that drastically shorten this timeframe. It is crucial to act quickly before critical evidence is lost or statutory deadlines expire.

What if the driver who hit me doesn’t have enough insurance?

If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance to cover your damages, we can pursue a claim against your own Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) policy. We fight your own insurance company just as aggressively as we fight the at-fault driver’s insurer to ensure you receive necessary compensation.

Can a property owner be held liable if I am assaulted on their premises?

Yes, property owners, particularly landlords and commercial business owners, have a duty to protect patrons and tenants from foreseeable criminal acts. If you are assaulted due to inadequate security, such as broken locks or insufficient lighting, the property owner may be held liable for negligent security.
