Plaintiff Representation: Fighting for Your Compensation
When your property has been damaged, you deserve full compensation for your losses. Property damage can result from construction accidents, faulty workmanship, environmental hazards, trespassing, or breach of contract. This can cost your business thousands or even millions of dollars in repairs, lost revenue, and diminished property value.
Our plaintiff attorneys investigate the full extent of your damages and build strong cases for recovery. We work with engineers, contractors, and other experts to document the damage, determine its cause, and calculate your losses. When calculating losses, we know that you might need more than just the immediate repair costs. Property damage can result in significant ongoing expenses, lost business income, and a reduction in property value. We’ll help you get compensation for all your losses.
Common plaintiff property damage cases we handle include:
- Construction defects and contractor negligence
- Water damage from plumbing failures or neighboring properties
- Fire damage caused by faulty equipment or third-party negligence
- Environmental contamination affecting commercial land
- Damage from tenant negligence or lease violations
- Property destruction from vehicle accidents or equipment failures
We pursue all available remedies, whether through insurance claims, direct negotiations, or litigation. Texas law provides several pathways for property damage recovery, and we know how to maximize your compensation under each option.
Defense Representation: Protecting Your Business from Claims
Being accused of causing property damage can be just as challenging as suffering it. Property damage lawsuits threaten your business finances, reputation, and insurance rates. Whether the allegations are legitimate or exaggerated, you need aggressive legal defense to protect your interests.
Our Houston defense attorneys examine every aspect of the plaintiff’s claims to identify weaknesses and build your case. We challenge inflated damage estimates, question causation, and present alternative explanations for the alleged damage. Many property damage claims fall apart when subjected to rigorous legal scrutiny and expert analysis.
We defend businesses and individuals against property damage allegations, including:
- Claims of construction damage or defective workmanship
- Allegations of environmental contamination or hazardous materials
- Water damage claims from neighboring property owners
- Tenant claims against landlords for property conditions
- Subcontractor disputes over project damage
- Insurance coverage disputes and bad faith claims
Our goal is to resolve cases efficiently while protecting your legal rights. We handle negotiations with opposing counsel, work with your insurance carrier, and litigate when necessary. With over 30 years of experience, we understand how to minimize your exposure and achieve favorable outcomes.
Insurance Coverage and Claims
Property damage cases often involve insurance coverage questions. We help clients on both sides understand their policies, file claims, and fight for proper coverage. Insurance companies frequently deny valid claims or offer inadequate settlements. We hold insurers accountable and ensure they honor their policy obligations.
For plaintiffs, we pursue coverage under the responsible party’s liability policies and your own property insurance. For defendants, we work with your liability carrier to coordinate defense strategy and protect your coverage. When insurance companies act in bad faith in Texas, we take aggressive action to protect your rights.
Expert Analysis and Case Development
Property damage cases require technical expertise to prove or disprove claims. We retain qualified engineers, contractors, environmental specialists, and other experts who can analyze the damage, identify its cause, and testify about industry standards. Expert testimony often determines the outcome of property damage litigation.
Our Houston property damage attorneys work closely with these experts from the beginning of your case. We ensure that all damage is properly documented, testing is performed when needed, and expert reports support your position. This preparation is essential whether you’re seeking damages or defending against them.
