Evander Holyfield Testimonial

Your Houston Personal Injury Lawyer

As an experienced Houston personal injury lawyer, you learn something important about winning. The difference between winning and losing is determined by more than just the facts of the case. It is the mentality of the advocate. Lawyers are a dime a dozen. Many lawyers sign a case and immediately seek to settle. These lawyers have rarely been tested, and when tested, they rarely succeed. The client is the victim of the lawyer’s losing mentality because it is the client who must live with the results.

At the Cobos Law Firm, winning is far more than a desire—it is an expectation. Andrew Cobos has been tested both while serving his Country in combat and in the Courtroom as a personal injury attorney. Cobos does not back down from a fight, but rather approaches each case with a strategic, aggressive, organized, and assertive plan, with a singular focus on absolute victory.

If your case matters to you, choose a winner with a winning record and a winning mentality.

Winning matters. Choose the Cobos Law Firm.

Personal Injury

car accident lawyerCar Accident Attorneys in Houston

At our Houston personal injury law firm, our car accident attorneys know the true impact of a car wreck. Thousands of vehicle accidents happen every single day across Texas. Some “fender benders” involving minor injuries or property damage are easy to resolve through a simple telephone call. However, other wrecks are much more serious and require medical treatment and/or lifelong injuries. Insurance companies always undervalue your claim. They base their business model on bringing in more money through premiums than they pay out in claims.

If your wreck is serious, you need serious representation.

At The Cobos Law Firm, our personal injury lawsuit lawyers believe in filing lawsuits quickly and achieving resolution through the litigation process. This philosophy differs from attorneys who continually work to resolve claims before filing a lawsuit. Moreover, by choosing this process, they achieve a less favorable outcome for their clients.

Contact us for a free evaluation of your case with our personal injury lawyer and to initiate the process of filing a lawsuit based on your auto accident.

 

Houston Wrongful Death Lawyers

wrongful death lawyerLosing someone that you love is one of the most agonizing events that a person can experience, particularly when their death is sudden and unexpected. Nothing prepares you for such a loss, especially in a case of wrongful death. If you have recently had such an experience, we highly recommend that you seek to attend grief counseling, and we will provide the names and recommendations of honest, trustworthy, effective grief counselors upon request.

Achieving closure is an important part of the grieving process. Achieving such a result often requires knowing that the corporation or individual whose recklessness caused this traumatic event is held accountable for their actions. No amount of money could ever replace the loss of life but getting over such an event may require years of costly therapy.

With our wrongful death lawsuit lawyers, Houstonians who are the surviving fathers, mothers, and children have attorneys with knowledge and experience in wrongful death lawsuits. Moreover, our attorneys hold corporations and individual Defendants accountable for their negligent actions. Contact us for a free evaluation of your case. With our Houston personal injury lawyer, you can initiate the process of filing a wrongful death claim.

Offshore Injury Lawyers

offshore injury lawyerMaritime accidents frequently occur on older ships or on ships that have maintenance issues. Given the risk involved in maritime operations, it is common for injuries to be severe. The law governing maritime operations (known as the “Jones Act”) sets a high standard for companies that operate floating vessels on navigable waterways.

The Jones Act provides that a “seaman” (someone who spends a large amount of time on a vessel) who is injured in the course of work be monetarily compensated during their recovery period and that the vessel owner provides medical care for the injured seaman.

As Jones Act lawsuit lawyers, Houston attorneys at The Cobos Law Firm specialize in representing seamen and injured contractors who have been injured while working on vessels. Contact us for a free evaluation of your maritime case and to initiate the process of filing a lawsuit.

18-Wheeler Truck Accident Attorneys

truck accidentEvery day, large trucks carry goods from one point to another on America’s roadways. Given the massive size of these trucks, any collision with a smaller vehicle is likely to cause a large degree of damage to the individuals in the smaller car.

For this reason, truckers are required to comply with numerous regulations, including rules that limit the size of the load, training required of the drivers, and risk mitigation measures if a truck is stopped. However, trucking companies frequently seek to cut costs. In the process, they increase the risk to other roadway occupants, leading to truck accidents.

Contact us for a free evaluation of your commercial trucking case and to initiate the process of filing a lawsuit.

 

Explosions and Industrial Accident Attorneys

explosion injury lawyerRefineries and industrial parks are some of the most closely regulated industries in the United States.

Litigation is necessary in those cases because it reminds the facility owners and operators that there are consequences for cutting corners.

As Houston personal injury lawyers, The Cobos Law Firm has experience representing numerous victims of industrial accidents, ensuring that they recover from devastating injuries.

With our dram shop lawsuit lawyers, Houston residents can hold accountable the bars and restaurants who over-serve their patrons.

Insurance Claims Lawsuit Lawyers Houston

Typically, insurance companies operate by a simple business model: to be profitable they must pay out less in claims than they bring in from premiums. Adjusters sometimes receive hefty bonuses by denying otherwise meritorious claims. This practice is unfair to the claimant, but it is the way most that insurance companies do business.

Our personal injury lawyer at The Cobos Law Firm takes a firm and aggressive approach to dealing with insurance companies, regardless of whether the bad insurance company is in contract with the client (first-party), or whether the insurance company is obligated to protect another liable individual (third-party).

A passive legal strategy is not a recipe for success.  In our legal system, the Plaintiff (i.e. the person initiating the lawsuit) is required to prove the alleged harm caused by the wrongdoer (i.e. the person or entity defending the lawsuit).  To carry this “burden of proof,” the Plaintiff’s attorney must thoroughly investigate the case, gather the available evidence, and prepare the case for trial. These necessary steps cannot without an actionable mindset on the part of the lawyer.

The Cobos Law Firm is an aggressive and action-oriented firm that drives results.  We don’t sit around hoping that the case will magically disappear, because it won’t.  And if it does, the resolution will not be beneficial to the client.

Instead, the Cobos Law Firm prepares your case for trial with a singular focus on winning. An aggressive and action-oriented approach is the key ingredient to our many victories.

no win. no fee.

A free legal consultation is an opportunity for us to answer your questions about the case and about the law. Additionally, it is an opportunity for you to learn about your legal options and assess whether our Houston personal injury lawyer is the right fit for you.

Oftentimes, our personal injury lawyer handles cases on a “contingency basis.” This means that our fee depends on the recovery we obtain for you (typically 25% – 40%). This method allows an individual without monetary resources to obtain excellent representation at no upfront monetary risk.

Based on the contingent fee model, you do not pay any legal fees unless and until the case settles or we win your case in court. Once you receive the settlement or award check, the firm deducts its case expenses. The balance (or “net”) of the money then goes to the client.

At times, personal injury lawsuits are expensive. Typically, the settlement covers items such as filing costs, deposition costs, costs to obtaining and reviewing medical records, travel expenses, and other expenses associated with trial preparation.

Most frequently, our Houston personal injury attorney advances money for all these case expenses. Later we deduct them from the settlement or award check when the case is resolved. Should the case be unsuccessful, we do not require the Client to reimburse the Firm for case expenses and no attorneys fee will be paid.

It depends on the factors involved, particularly the individual or entity at fault and the damages caused. Each case is evaluated individually. However, the case evaluation is free. Contact us today if you would like to speak to an attorney to review your case.
