A serious injury can leave you with questions about your health, finances, and what to do next. Here, you will learn how personal injury claims work in Mission and how Grossman Law Offices can help you pursue financial recovery.
Why Mission Residents Turn to Grossman Law Offices

Truck Accidents and Commercial Vehicle Claims
Mission sits along a major transportation network in the Rio Grande Valley, with commercial vehicles traveling I-2/US 83 and local routes such as Conway Avenue between Mission, McAllen, and surrounding communities. Truck traffic also moves through Shary Road and connections serving nearby commercial and industrial areas.
For Mission residents, that means sharing busy local roads with large commercial vehicles during everyday trips to work, school, stores, and neighboring cities. When an 18-wheeler collides with a passenger vehicle, however, investigating the crash can require information that would not typically be part of an ordinary car accident claim.
Our Texas commercial truck accident lawyers can examine electronic logging data for insight into the driver’s activity and review maintenance records for information about the truck’s condition. Serious collisions may also call for accident reconstruction or analysis of electronic vehicle data to piece together what happened.
Responsibility may reach further than the driver. A trucking company or another business connected with the vehicle or shipment may have contributed to the crash. Identifying those connections can be particularly important when someone suffers a traumatic brain injury, spinal trauma, or another life-changing injury.
Car Accidents and Other Motor Vehicle Claims
Even without the added complexities of a commercial vehicle, a serious car accident can leave important questions unanswered. Drivers may disagree about how the collision occurred, multiple vehicles may be involved, or a hit-and-run or uninsured driver may make recovering compensation more complicated.
We investigate serious car accident claims and handle communications with insurers on our clients’ behalf. As the claim develops, we consider the financial impact of the collision, from medical expenses and vehicle damage to other losses resulting from the injuries.
Catastrophic Workplace Injuries and Serious Work Accidents
Construction sites, industrial operations, and jobs involving heavy equipment can become dangerous in seconds. When a workplace accident causes a catastrophic injury, the legal options available to the worker can depend heavily on who was involved and how the accident happened.
Workers’ compensation may be one part of the picture. Texas workplace cases can also involve employers that do not subscribe to workers’ compensation or a third party that contributed to the injury. For instance, responsibility could extend to a contractor or equipment company under the right circumstances.
Keeping incident reports and employer communications can provide useful information as we investigate the accident. From there, we can determine which options may apply and who may be held responsible.
Over our decades of practice, we’ve represented hundreds of injured workers and have experience with both workers’ compensation and non-subscriber matters.
Dram Shop and Alcohol-Related Injury Cases
When an intoxicated driver causes a serious accident, responsibility may not end with the person behind the wheel. Texas dram shop law can allow an injured person to pursue an alcohol provider when the legal requirements for liability are met.
The investigation may therefore lead back to the establishment that served the driver. What happened there before the accident can become an important part of the case. Surveillance footage may show the person’s condition, while receipts and witness accounts can provide additional insight into how alcohol was served.
This added layer of liability separates dram shop claims from auto-only cases. We’ve obtained substantial recoveries for people and families affected by Texas dram shop cases and other alcohol-related injuries.
How Your Mission Personal Injury Case Moves Forward
You should not have to become an expert in personal injury law while recovering from a serious accident. We keep you informed as the case develops and explain the decisions that require your input.
Step 1: Tell Us What Happened
Your free case review gives us an opportunity to learn about the accident and your injuries. During the review, please share any records you already have – such as an accident report or information from witnesses – but do not put off calling simply because you have not gathered everything.
Your health comes first. If you have not received medical attention after a serious accident, getting evaluated should be a priority.
Step 2: We Investigate and Prepare the Case
Once we take a case, we work to find the evidence needed to understand what happened and establish responsibility. Proving negligence is an important part of many personal injury claims. Our lawyers look at what the responsible party did, what they should have done differently, and how their actions contributed to your injuries.
The evidence needed depends on the type of accident. A truck crash may require vehicle and company records. A workplace case can involve information about the jobsite and the businesses working there. In a dram shop case, evidence from the alcohol provider may become important. For catastrophic injuries, appropriate experts can also help explain medical needs and how an injury may affect the person’s future.
Step 3: We Pursue an Appropriate Resolution
We negotiate with insurers and defendants using the evidence developed during the case. If they refuse to offer an appropriate settlement, litigation may be necessary.
Our preparation does not stop because a case fails to settle. We can file suit and continue developing the evidence for trial, giving the opposing side a reason to take the claim seriously.
Texas generally gives you two years from the date of an injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, although exceptions can affect that deadline. Speaking with an attorney early can help protect your right to pursue a claim.
What Should You Do After a Serious Injury?
Your health should be your first concern. It’s important that you get medical attention, even if you initially believe you can manage your symptoms on your own.
If you are able, document what happened. Photos or video from the scene can preserve details that may change quickly. Keep reports and communications related to the accident, and save contact information for anyone who witnessed it.
Be careful when an insurance company asks for a detailed recorded statement soon after the accident. You may still be learning about your injuries and the consequences they will have.
When you are ready, call Grossman Law Offices at (855) 326-0000. Speaking with us early gives our team more time to determine what evidence may be available and what steps your case may require.
Serving Mission and the Rio Grande Valley
We represent injured people throughout Mission and Hidalgo County, including areas around Sharyland and Conway Avenue. Our attorneys also serve clients in McAllen, Edinburg, and communities across the Rio Grande Valley.
Life in Mission often means traveling throughout the Valley. You might commute east toward McAllen on I-2, drive Conway Avenue through central Mission, or take Shary Road between residential and commercial areas. A serious accident along the way can quickly bring medical appointments, insurance calls, and difficult decisions into your daily life.
Wherever the accident happens, you can turn to a firm with decades of experience representing injured Texans. Our legal team has won thousands of cases involving commercial vehicles, dram shop claims, serious injuries, and wrongful death.
That experience also shapes how we prepare each case. We take the possibility of trial seriously from the beginning, particularly when an insurer or defendant refuses to offer a fair resolution. During your free consultation, you can ask about our experience and results in cases similar to yours.
