Personal Injury Attorneys
Record-Setting Personal Injury Attorneys
When people are seriously injured or harmed by the actions of plant and refinery owners, trucking companies, offshore organizations, pharmaceutical giants, construction companies, and others that have a responsibility to conduct their operations safely, they deserve answers. These companies need to take responsibility and take care of the people they harm. Unfortunately, that rarely happens.
At Arnold & Itkin, we're there to protect our clients, fighting to help them obtain justice and recover compensation that covers medical treatment, lost wages, and more. Above all else, that's our firm’s mission: to deliver the best future for our clients by winning the best results.
We've won more than $10 billion for people impacted by:
- Offshore accidents
- Plant and refinery accidents
- Oil rig explosions
- Trucking accidents
- Medical injuries
- Construction accidents
- Defective products
- Industrial accidents
Personal injury attorneys are increasingly becoming the only arm of the law that speaks on behalf of everyday people. Whether we're facing an oil drilling company, a trucking company, or an industrial employer, your case is a message: your life matters, your injuries matter, and no one can hurt you without consequence. No matter what.

Every case is a chance to change our clients’ lives, to give their families a future. We spend months getting to know every client—and, in the end, they become part of our families. That’s why we fight so hard to make companies answer for what they’ve done: for clients, the stakes are life and death. When we fight for you, we’re fighting for our family. We'll provide the best advocacy possible.
No Matter How Big They Are.
Personal injury litigation draws out the biggest insurance companies and most powerful law firms in the world. It’s not uncommon for the other side of the courtroom to have over a dozen attorneys. Thankfully, the strength of our team isn’t just in numbers of lawyers—it is in unmatched preparation and unparalleled resources. Arnold & Itkin has won some of the largest cases in history against those armies of lawyers and insurers, so we’re not intimidated by big opponents or long odds. That’s where we do our best work.

No Matter What Questions
-
What’s a Houston Personal Injury Lawyer? Should I Hire One?
Houston personal injury lawyers represent people who have been hurt by other people’s negligence. With a personal injury lawyer, people who’ve been injured or lost a loved one are much more likely to recover their losses, which include medical costs, lost wages, and more. If you’ve been hurt, you absolutely owe it to yourself to call an attorney to hear your legal options. -
What Kind of Cases Do Houston Personal Injury Attorneys Handle?
Houston personal injury attorneys handle cases where someone is injured due to another party’s negligence, poor judgment, or recklessness. That includes virtually any accident, from car crashes to plant explosions to faulty products to accidents offshore. Different injury attorneys in Houston typically focus on a particular type of accident, but the best attorneys handle every kind of case. -
What If I Can’t Afford a Houston Personal Injury Lawyer?
Our Houston injury law firm takes cases on a contingency fee basis, which essentially means our clients only pay us if we win their case. There’s no upfront payment, bills, or invoices. We cover everything so our clients can focus on getting better. -
How Much Is My Houston Personal Injury Case Worth?
Your case’s worth depends on the losses you’ve suffered as a result of your injuries, as well as the severity of the injuries. The total value of your medical bills, lost wages, lost future income, and future treatment costs will make up at least some of your case’s worth. People with life-altering injuries can also add the cost of their loss in quality of life, like physical pain or loss of consortium. The easiest way to determine the value of your personal injury claim is by speaking with our team during a free consultation. -
What Classifies as a Catastrophic Injury?
Legally and medically, a catastrophic injury is one that permanently impaired a person’s cognitive function or mobility. One of the hallmarks is diminished quality of life. Aside from that, a catastrophic injury can be almost anything: traumatic hearing loss, amputation, brain damage, loss of respiratory function, or other long-term impairment. -
Will I Go to Court?
There’s no guarantee that your case will make it all the way to trial, and that’s okay. If your case doesn’t go to trial, that means your opponent offered a settlement that compensates you for everything you’ve lost. Most injury cases are settled out of court. We’ve settled countless cases only days before trial. This is because we’ll never accept a settlement unless we’re convinced it’s what our clients deserve. -
Why Hire a Houston Personal Injury Lawyer Who Tries Cases?
Having a Houston personal injury attorney who tries cases offers plaintiffs more leverage during settlement negotiations. Most lawyers don’t spend much time in courtrooms, so defendants often have little to fear if they end up going to court. This discourages settlements or makes payouts smaller as a result. However, when a lawyer has a history of trial victories, it incentivizes opponents to settle faster and for larger amounts.
No Matter the Situation.
