More than 6,000 vehicle crashes occurred in Laredo in 2023, taking the lives of 20 and seriously injuring 69 more. Because Laredo is a busy port city, many of the accidents that occur here involve commercial vehicles. These large trucks can cause catastrophic injuries even at low speeds, leaving accident victims in pain and out of work in many cases.

Motor vehicle collisions are one of the most common personal injury claims in Laredo we handle. Carabin Shaw’s expert team helps accident victims seek damages for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and emotional suffering. We often work with the at-fault party’s insurance company to negotiate a fair settlement. Our attorneys prepare the victim’s case for trial without a settlement agreement.

Laredo has many dangerous job sites, including construction projects, warehouses, and shipping centers. You can file a claim if you are hurt on the job and your employer carries workers’ compensation insurance. However, workers’ compensation rarely covers all the expenses related to a workplace accident, especially if injuries are severe.

Our Texas accident lawyers investigate workplace accidents to determine whether another party contributed to the incident. If so, we can file a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible party to maximize the victim's damages. Check our client reviews to see how we’ve fought for the rights of other workplace accident victims.

Falls are the second-leading cause of injury-related deaths in the U.S., causing more than 46,000 deaths at home and work in 2022. Falls in public places may be due to a hazardous condition the property owner knew about and failed to warn others. When that is the case, accident victims may seek damages from responsible owners for medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses.

Survivors of slip-and-fall accidents often face injuries like fractures, spinal cord trauma, and brain injuries. Falls from heights may lead to the most severe injuries, including permanent disability. Our compassionate team of attorneys in Laredo helps injured victims seek the compensation they need to heal from their injuries and move forward from their accident.

Although consumer product injuries have declined since 2017, there were still more than 12.5 million injuries in 2023 alone. The top culprits in consumer product injuries include:

• Faulty stairs, ramps, or landings
• Injuries from beds, pillows, and mattresses
• Accidents involving chairs, sofas, and sofa beds

Soaps, detergents, television sets, and ovens caused other injuries. Young children (up to age four) have one of the highest injury rates.

Our legal team helps victims of these accidents seek compensation from manufacturers who knew about the dangers associated with their products but failed to warn consumers. Like other personal injury cases, product liability claims offer compensation for medical bills, lost wages, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life.
