Justice Served:

Record Verdicts Achieved

For their successful pursuit of justice in the face of adversity, Lyons & Simmons attorneys Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, Chris Carr, and Stephen Higdon have been awarded the Dallas Trial Lawyers Association’s prestigious 2021 John Howie Award. The honor is based on the trial team’s work representing an Alabama mother who lost three children in a tragic West Texas highway accident.
In a case that drew national attention, Lyons & Simmons attorneys Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, Chris Carr, P. Wes Black, and Michael Wozniak won a record-setting $109.5 million verdict against CPS Energy after proving the company’s failure to maintain its gas system led to a devastating explosion and fire. The result not only delivered justice for the victims — it set a new standard for accountability in the utility industry.
The firm secured a landmark jury verdict for a client whose life was permanently changed after systemic hospital failures caused a nearly five-hour delay in emergency surgery, resulting in catastrophic paralysis. The case brought to light serious breaches of hospital policy and was recognized by Courtroom View Network as one of the nation’s top verdicts of 2022.

Guidance on Filing a Motor Vehicle Accident Claim in Texas

When it comes to personal injury claims, states either follow at-fault or no-fault systems. Texas is an at-fault state (also known as a “tort” state), which means you typically must file a claim against the at-fault party to recover compensation. This means you must prove that someone else was to blame for the accident to have grounds for a claim.

But what happens when multiple parties share some of the blame? For example, imagine a person texting when their car is hit by a drunk driver. Can the texting driver still bring a claim against the drunk driver?

Because Texas follows a rule of modified comparative negligence, the answer is yes—but with certain caveats. Individuals who are injured in motor vehicle accidents in Texas can still file claims for compensation if they were partially to blame as long as they are less than 51% to blame. In other words, the other person or party must be more at fault for the accident than you for you to file a motor vehicle accident claim.

What to Do After a Motor Vehicle Accident

After any motor vehicle accident—regardless of the type of vehicle(s) involved or the severity of your injuries—there are certain steps you should take to protect your rights and ensure your continued well-being.

Whether you were involved in a passenger car accident, a crash with a commercial vehicle, or any other type of collision, try to do the following:

Call 911: You should call 911 (or the appropriate authorities) if you are involved in any accident that results in bodily injury or death. Stay at the scene and wait for the police/paramedics to arrive. If needed, get medical attention at the scene and be sure to file an official accident report with the law enforcement officer(s).
Seek Medical Attention: If you do not require emergency medical treatment at the scene, you should still see a doctor as soon as possible. Even seemingly minor injuries may be far more serious than they appear and can lead to serious complications without professional treatment. Always see a medical provider after a motor vehicle accident.
Exchange Information: If possible, get the name, address, phone number, and insurance information of the other parties involved in the accident. Because Texas is an at-fault state, you will need this information to file a personal injury claim with the at-fault motorist’s insurance provider.
Document Everything: The more details you can document, the better. Use your smartphone’s camera to take photos of the scene and write down everything you can remember about what happened. Take pictures of your injuries and property damage and keep a record of your medical appointments, symptoms, and progress.
Contact an Attorney: It is generally a good idea to reach out to an attorney as soon as possible after a motor vehicle accident. You may experience issues when filing your claim, including disputes from the liable party’s insurance provider. An attorney can help ensure your rights are protected and fight to recover the maximum compensation you are owed.

At Lyons & Simmons, LLP, we understand the motor vehicle accident claims filing process. Our attorneys are happy to answer your questions and help you in any way you need after a motor vehicle accident.

El personal fue excepcional y profesional.

Mi experiencia con el Sr. Mike Lyons, el Sr. Chris Simmons y su equipo fue excepcional. Manejaron mi caso con tal profesionalidad que me sentí muy tranquila. No me sentí como un simple número de caso ni como una clienta más. Fueron muy atentos con la familia, lo que me hizo sentir que la mía era su prioridad. Siempre me mantuvieron al tanto del estado de todos los trámites y, si tenía alguna inquietud, la atendían. Respetaron todas mis decisiones. Espero no tener que volver a contratar sus servicios, pero si lo necesitara, Mike y Chris serían mi primera opción. Creo que nos hemos hecho buenos amigos. Recomendaría a Lyons & Simmons a cualquiera que busque lo mejor en representación legal. Muchas gracias de parte de la familia Waldridge. ¡Que Dios los bendiga!

Un fatal accidente aéreo dejó a mi familia sumida en una profunda angustia. Siendo una joven viuda y madre de un bebé, estaba aterrorizada e insegura sobre cómo seguir adelante en un mundo que lo había trastocado todo. Lyons & Simmons se convirtió rápidamente en el pilar que mantuvo unida a nuestra familia. Todo su equipo me acompañó y me guio hacia las siguientes etapas de mi vida con confianza y ternura."
Cuando la pandemia de COVID-19 azotó una semana después del accidente, Lyons & Simmons continuó trabajando diligentemente en medio de los cierres mundiales. Si bien defienden con esmero a sus clientes, su trabajo es genuino y sincero. No se han insensibilizado ante las trágicas experiencias de sus clientes, y gracias a ellos he encontrado apoyo en todos los sentidos. Mis preguntas reciben respuestas completas y oportunas. Hacen hincapié en la estrategia y realizan un análisis exhaustivo de cada caso.
Lyons & Simmons ha forjado y mantiene sólidas relaciones con personas de todos los ámbitos de su práctica. La profesionalidad demostrada por Mike, Chris, Melinda y los demás es inigualable, y su capacidad para iluminar incluso las situaciones más difíciles es verdaderamente admirable. Admiro al equipo de Lyons & Simmons y seguiré agradeciendo a Dios por el trabajo que han realizado por mí y por mi hijo hasta el último día de mi vida.
