There are many types of injuries which fall under the category of personal injury, including:
Auto/Truck accident
If you’ve recently been in an auto accident, you may be concerned about working with insurance companies, recovering from any injuries you suffered, and the lost wages you incurred as a result of the accident. When an accident is serious enough to cause fatal or severe injuries, you need aggressive representation to put you back into the position you were in before the accident.
No two car accidents are exactly alike, but Todd Turner finds that most car accidents involve one of the following circumstances:
• Distracted Driving: Even though most motorists know that texting, putting on makeup, or eating while driving puts everyone on the road at risk for serious accidents, the number of distracted driving-related fatalities and injuries continues to climb each year.
• Traffic Violations: The faster the speed of a vehicle, the greater the risk of having an accident. Both the speed and the angle of impact make red light and other traffic violation-related crashes some of the most likely to cause injuries or fatalities.
• Drunk Driving: Alcohol can severely impair a driver’s response time, judgment, and driving ability. If you’re the victim of an impaired driver, Todd Turner wants to stand up for your rights against the intoxicated driver, and the establishment or bar that overserved them.
Medical Malpractice
Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the U.S. according to a 2016 study at Johns Hopkins Medicine. Thousands upon thousands of patients are affected by medical mistakes committed by surgeons, doctors, nurses, midwives, paramedics, and other health care providers.
Medical malpractice encompasses a wide range of errors, including:
• Incorrect or delayed diagnosis
• Failure to detect a disease or condition
• Surgery mistakes, sometimes leading to paralysis or quadriplegia
• Birth injuries to mothers and infants
• Anesthesia errors
• Medication errors
• Improper use of medical equipment
Proving a medical malpractice case in Texas requires not only legal experience, but also medical knowledge and the ability to calculate complex financial losses, such as lost future earning capacity and future medical expenses. Todd Turner retains top medical and valuation experts in order to determine, within medical certainty, how and why a medical error occurred and what the financial harm will be over your lifetime. Injuries and loss of life cause financial pain.

Construction/Work-Related Accidents
Workplace injuries occur throughout Texas in almost any type of job. While the manufacturing and construction industries account for a large share of on-the-job injuries, many workers are injured in the service industry, in the oil field and in various factories, warehouses, retail outlets, and commercial offices.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, over three million workers in the United States are injured annually. Workers who suffer from occupational injury often have a difficult time recovering financially. The employee may not receive total compensation for expenses associated with their injury. Todd Turner is an experienced attorney who knows how to maximize the recovery you deserve.
Wrongful Death
When a loved one dies unexpectedly, the family is left in a state of grief and despair. When that death was the result of the negligent act of another person and was entirely preventable, justice must be pursued. For more than 20 years, Todd Turner has been helping the families of those who died due to the negligence, medical negligence or the reckless behavior of others, including companies. Todd Turner will hold those responsible accountable for their negligent actions. While no level of financial compensation can make up for the loss of a loved one, it is a form of justice. Pursuing a wrongful death claim in Texas can be helpful to the future lives of those left behind and Todd Turner is the attorney to hire to pursue that justice.
The value of the compensation pursued will vary. Compensation is based upon the age of the person, profession, income, number of children, and other factors. The compensation pursued by Todd Turner will include:
• Cost of medical bills prior to death
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Loss of wages that would have been earned during the lifetime of the decedent
• Pain and suffering experienced by the family due to the loss of a loved one
