INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS
With so many workers working in plants and fields that are inherently dangerous, there are thousands of accidents each year caused by human error, poor plant conditions, inefficient operation and lack of safety gear and precautions. In addition to chemical, petroleum and other manufacturing services, Houston is home to the largest shipping port in the United States and the sixth-largest port in the world.
TRUCKING ACCIDENTS
With great power comes great responsibility – and 18-wheelers are powerful vehicles. The Merman Law Firm works to make sure that when a truck driver or trucking company fails in its responsibilities that the victim is vindicated.The Merman Law Firm has handled trucking accidents for more than a decade. In every instance, we have endeavored to exceed our client’s expectations with our caring representation.
MARITIME ACCIDENTS
Because The Port of Houston is an international shipping hub, Admiralty and Maritime accidents are frequent and often devastating. While the Port itself does an exceptional job handling the traffic, it cannot eliminate human error. The Houston maritime lawyers at the Merman Law Firm have handled a myriad of Admiralty cases, including Jones Act seamen injured in foreign waters, fatal collisions in the ship channel, and 905(b) claims against shipowners for longshoremen (stevedores) injured by faulty equipment shipboard while loading cargo.
DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS
Many times after someone is injured by a product not working properly they believe they have a case against the manufacturer. However, our firm’s experience with defective product lawsuits allows us to more accurately assess your situation so that you can decide whether or not to pursue a claim. If you believe you have a claim, contact the Merman Law Firm for a case evaluation.
PERSONAL INJURY
The Merman Law Firm has been successful in recovering millions of dollars for its clients in several types of personal injury cases. We strive to treat our clients like family. Everyone at the firm, from the founder to the staff, has suffered some kind of loss because of someone else’s negligence. Mr. Merman lost his father in a plane crash when he was only five. Helping people recover from their loss – personally and financially, is why we do what we do.
