Craig Depew is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law under the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, focused on helping individuals obtain compensation for personal injuries related to:

• Maritime / Jones Act
• Industrial / Job Related Injuries
• Personal Injury
• Product Liability
• Transportation / Aviation
• Asbestos / Mesothelioma
• Benzene
• Harmful Drugs & Medical Malpractice

The rules for determining what type of law would apply in a given situation are extremely complicated. Therefore, you should contact an attorney immediately if you have sustained a significant injury, especially if it threatens your ability to continue working.

It is vitally important that all such claims be investigated immediately. Memories fade, witnesses disappear, and documents get misplaced. There are also time deadlines that apply, which may prevent you from filing your claim if they are not met. Depending upon where the accident occurred and what law applies, the deadline can be from 1 to 3 years.

If a loved one or relative was killed in any of the foregoing circumstances, you may also have a claim under these laws and other laws for various types of damages, including pre-death pain and suffering, lost contributions and other damages. While the courts have recently restricted the recovery in these areas, there are still damages recoverable, so you should contact an attorney immediately.
