Personal injury victims often have many questions about their legal rights. As a Houston law firm helping those injured by work accidents and medical malpractice, Richard J. Plezia & Associates strives to offer high-quality legal help to those in need. As part of this effort, the law firm has recently updated its website with in-depth information about these types of claims.

“No matter how someone has been injured, whether in a maritime accident or by a doctor’s mistake, they’re going to have questions and concerns about how they move forward, how they recover, and how they make it financially,” said law firm founder Richard J. Plezia. “One of the first places an accident victim will go for to find answers is the Internet. We want our website to be a source of information to help to those in need.”

Key Practice Areas

While Richard J. Plezia & Associates helps victims of all types of accidents, the information most recently added to its website focuses on three main areas - workplace accidents, maritime and offshore injuries, and medical malpractice.

Workplace Accidents: There are many reasons why workplace accidents occur, and they can happen in any work environment - from construction to office jobs. When an on-the-job injury is caused by negligence of your employer or coworkers, it’s important to get help protecting your legal rights.

Maritime Accidents: The maritime industry comes with many unique hazards for the workers who labor in it, from seamen working aboard vessels to rig hands working offshore. There are many different laws that govern the rights of injured maritime workers, including the Jones Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act, the Death on the High Seas Act and more. If you’ve been injured while working in a maritime job, it’s important to get help from an attorney who is experienced in handling claims under these laws.

Medical Malpractice: Negligence by doctors, nurses, hospitals, pharmacies, or nursing homes happens more often than many of us would think. When a medical mistake injures a patient or causes a wrongful death, the negligent party should be held responsible for the damages caused.

The firm will continue to regularly add new information to these sections to better serve and inform injury victims. As always, the legal team will continue to provide experienced legal assistance to those who need it.
