The Opening Statement

As the end of the year approaches, we have taken a look back at our cases for 2024. Our accomplished trial lawyers work relentlessly for our clients, and strive to win the settlements they deserve. These cases are some of the highlights from CvPA’s recently won settlements.

Ever since Ch. 72 bifurcation was passed in Texas, it seems that no one, plaintiff and defense attorney alike, have no idea how it applies, when it applies, and what it applies to. Based on the reading of the statute, it should not apply to non-18 wheeler cases.

An effective cross-examination can wrap up a case quite quickly. When the defense is worried about having their expert struck, it can move settlement talks and save all the other cases where the defense has the expert retained.

Where can a Personal Injury Plaintiff file their case in Texas?

By filing the lawsuit, the Plaintiff in a personal injury case has the ability to “choose” the venue, or the county that the lawsuit is filed in. Venue may be proper in more than one county, so it is important to know your venue options before filing the lawsuit.

The legal profession is a journey filled with both challenges and triumphs. Balancing work and life, building a strong support network, seeking help when needed, and embracing mistakes as opportunities for growth are all essential components of a successful legal career. Remember that it’s not about avoiding missteps, but about how you learn from them and continue to evolve as a more capable and resilient attorney.

Time and time again, victims in 18-wheeler wrecks are getting hit by drivers with minimum limits. At CvPA, we have found a niche of taking these minimum policies and transforming them into larger cases by finding other parties and policies that have been hidden from the clients and from other attorneys.
