“One thing that I’ll tell you about Scott is that he’s going to fight for you. Bottom line. You know, my nickname for Scott is “the Bulldog.” He told me from the very beginning, “I’m to worry about your financial health. You worry about your physical health” — and that’s what he did.
That’s what The Krist Law Firm did for me — they honored their word.”

Do I have a personal injury case?

- Your injuries resulted in harm. (You suffered medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages)
If your accident and injuries meet these requirements, it’s in your best interest to speak with a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer about your options and next steps. Call for a Free Consultation. 281-326-9197.
What Is My Injury Claim Worth?
Personal injury law can be complicated, and obtaining what’s fair usually means dealing with insurance companies, negotiating an insurance settlement, and sometimes filing a personal injury lawsuit. It can be hard to know everything you need or are entitled to without help, but some things to think about when estimating the value of your claim are:
- How much property damage was involved?
- How much are your medical bills?
- Did you need surgery or will in the future?
- Are your injuries permeant or disabling?
- Did you miss out on work?
- Has your quality of life been affected?
- Do you share any of the blame?
While there is no precise formula for determining an exact amount for your injuries, your best option is to discuss what happened to you with an experienced injury lawyer.
Free Consultation
A serious injury can leave a mark on your life in many ways, not the least of which is financially. Further, we charge no attorney fees unless we recover financial compensation for you in your case. Take advantage of our No Recovery, No Fee guarantee.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We handle
When you or your loved one has been the victim of an accident or wrongful death, you should never be left worrying about who will pay for bills or repairs. Your only focus should be on recovery.
Maritime Injuries
Maritime environments — whether in the Port of Houston, on a ship, or an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico working at sea— can be dangerous, even fatal. Fortunately, maritime accidents and injuries are covered by specific laws. This makes them different than other personal injury cases, so it’s important to work with experienced Houston maritime lawyers, like those at The Krist Law Firm. With our background and maritime success record, we understand how to build the strongest case for injured maritime workers and secure the best possible compensation.
Truck Accidents
Houston and the surrounding area of Harris County is a major transportation hub. Unfortunately, that also means truck accidents are a common occurrence. And despite the often devastating injuries these collisions cause, trucking companies and insurance carriers usually try to avoid liability and offer much less than you deserve. That’s where our team of Houston truck accident lawyers can help. We have an excellent record in truck accident cases and have successfully helped many Houston accident victims.
Car Accidents
If you drive a car, the odds are that you’ll get into a collision at some point. You could be taking I-45 to the Gulf, going to work on I-69, or cruising downtown Houston on Main Street when suddenly you’re involved in a collision. When an accident causes serious injuries, your life can be changed forever. Our Houston car accident lawyers are here to help when you or a family member has suffered significant injuries in an auto collision in Houston.
Fatal Accidents & Wrongful Death
The grief you experience after the loss of a beloved family member can be especially difficult when your loved one’s death was caused by someone else’s negligence. Our Houston wrongful death attorneys at The Krist Law Firm, P.C. can help you obtain monetary compensation to protect your family’s financial future, as well as gain a sense of closure as the person who caused your loss is held accountable by the Texas legal system.
Work Accidents
An injury at work can be devastating. Your injuries may have happened while working in an oilfield accident or they may have happened at a construction site. They may have been caused by employer negligence or a third party, and you may be facing a significant recovery. Our work accident lawyers at The Krist Law Firm, P.C. have more than 40 years of legal experience, and can help you file a claim against those who are responsible for your injuries.
