Record-Setting Texas Personal Injury Verdicts & Settlements

When a Serious Injury Changes Everything, the Firm You Choose Matters

For decades, injured workers and grieving families across Texas and the Gulf Coast have turned to Arnold & Itkin when everything was on the line. We do not just say we get results. We list them. Our Texas personal injury lawyers have won more than $25 billion for our clients, including some of the largest verdicts and settlements in state history. 

The results below come from workplace accidents, plant and refinery explosions, truck wrecks, railroad injuries, maritime and offshore disasters, burn injuries, and wrongful death claims. Behind every number is a real person: a worker hurt doing their job, or a family that lost someone they loved. Past results never guarantee future outcomes, but they show what our firm has done when powerful companies refused to do what was right. No Matter What™.

Why Record-Setting Results Matter 

A verdict is not just a number. It is proof of what a firm is willing and able to do when a company refuses to take responsibility.  Insurance companies and defense lawyers know which firms are prepared to try serious claims and which ones are not. When they see Arnold & Itkin, they know we have taken some of the biggest companies in the world to trial and won. That reputation can change how they value a claim long before a jury is ever seated. 

Results also take resources. 

Serious injury claims demand immediate investigation, qualified consultants, life-care planning, medical proof, financial analysis, and extensive preparation. We make that investment because our clients deserve nothing less. 

How We Build High-Stakes Claims 

We prepare every claim as if it is going to trial, because that is how you win. 

From day one, we investigate the scene, preserve the evidence, take depositions, and dig until we uncover what really happened. Companies know which firms will go the distance. When they see we are ready for trial, they are far more likely to pay what our clients are owed. And when they do not, we are ready to let a jury decide. No Matter What™.
