- Families pursuing Texas wrongful death claims.
- People with catastrophic injuries requiring long-term or lifetime care.
- Consumers injured by defective products, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals.

## Case Results

Source: https://charlesargento.com/houston-attorney-results/

- $25,500,000 settlement: industrial accident burn case
- $16,500,000 settlement: personal injury case
- $12,000,000 settlement: toxic chemical exposure
- $10,000,000 settlement: 18-wheeler truck accident
- $7,300,000 settlement: medical malpractice
- $7,000,000 settlement: auto accident
- $6,000,000 settlement: truck accident
- $2,500,000 settlement: motorcycle accident

These are the results published by the firm and are a partial sample, not a complete case archive. Past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future matter. The outcome of any case depends on its own facts, the available evidence, applicable insurance coverage, and the losses suffered by the injured person.

## Fees and Case Intake

- Personal injury matters are handled on a contingency fee basis. Clients pay no attorney fee upfront, and attorney fees are collected only if compensation is recovered.
- The initial case review is free and carries no obligation.
- Consultations can be handled by phone where an in-person meeting is not practical. The firm can also travel to meet a client.
- Where a client has no health insurance, medical treatment may in some circumstances be arranged with payment deferred through a letter of protection or medical lien. Those arrangements affect the net amount a client receives from any recovery and should be reviewed with the attorney.
- Phone intake is available 24 hours a day at 713-225-5050 or 800-239-7622.

## Areas Served

The firm has one physical office, in Houston. All other locations listed are service areas, not office locations.

## Texas Legal Context Relevant to These Claims

- **Statute of limitations:** Texas generally allows two years from the date of injury or death to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. Claims involving governmental entities can carry shorter notice deadlines.
- **Proportionate responsibility:** Under the Texas 51 percent bar rule, a claimant who is more than 50 percent responsible generally cannot recover. A claimant who is 50 percent or less responsible can recover, reduced by their percentage of responsibility.
- **Workers' compensation:** Texas does not require most private employers to carry workers' compensation. Employers that opt out are called non-subscribers, which changes the legal route available to an injured worker and may open a negligence claim against the employer or a third party.
- **Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage:** Texas insurers must offer UM and UIM coverage unless the policyholder rejects it in writing, which makes the injured person's own policy relevant after a crash with an uninsured driver.
