Injury Cases We Handle in Galveston
Our Galveston personal injury lawyers can help you with all types of injuries and accidents in Galveston and Galveston County.
Car Accidents
Some motor vehicle accidents are straightforward. In others, fault is disputed or the insurance company refuses to give you the compensation you deserve. Our team isn’t afraid to stand against any insurer to get what you deserve. We can also help if you were injured in a rideshare accident or hit by a car while walking or biking. Our Galveston drunk driving accident lawyer can help in accidents caused by speeding, reckless driving, distracted driving, drunk driving, and any other type of negligence.
Truck Accidents
Truck accident cases are often much more complex than a standard car crash. Injuries are often more severe and there are multiple potentially liable parties. It can also be difficult for the average person to gather evidence as much of what they need is held by the trucking company.
Our legal team knows that we must draft a spoliation letter and send it over to the trucking company to ensure it preserves and hands over the evidence we need.
Motorcycle Accidents
Riders often face bias after an accident. Insurance companies and juries often think that motorcycle riding is reckless; therefore, they think the rider must have done something reckless to cause the accident. Our team knows how to counteract this bias and get the compensation you deserve.
Slips and Falls
If you slipped and fell on someone else’s property in Galveston, you deserve compensation. We’ll help prove you were on the property legally and that you did not contribute to your injuries.
Maritime Injuries
If you were injured at the Port of Galveston or offshore, our team can help you navigate this complex area of law and recover compensation.
If you lost a loved one due to their injuries, we can file a wrongful death claim on their behalf.

What a Galveston Personal Injury Attorney Can Do for You
You should be focused on your injury recovery, not on how you can manage an injury case. Our Galveston personal injury attorney will handle every aspect of your case, ensuring you have the time you need to focus on reaching maximum medical improvement. We will:
- Gather evidence to prove your case: We will investigate and recover the evidence we need to hold another party liable.
- Determine a value for your case: While we look for evidence of fault and liability, we will also gather evidence of your damages. Once we have identified all your damages, we will determine a fair value.
- Handle all communication with the insurance adjuster: It’s easy to say something that jeopardizes your case when speaking with the insurance adjuster. To prevent that from happening, we can handle all communication.
- Negotiate with the insurance company: The insurance company often offers you less than you deserve. Jay Blass Cohen will fight for every dollar you need. Insurance companies and defendants know he’s a force to be reckoned with and won’t back down from a fight.
- Take your case to trial: Jay has 15 years of experience handling cases in court. He’ll use that if he determines that’s the best way to recover the result you deserve.

How Long do I Have to Take Action?
Texas law limits how long you have to take action after an accident or injury. Per Texas Civil Practices and Remedies Code Sec. 16.003, you only have two years to file a lawsuit. If you do not file within that time limit, the court will likely dismiss your case. You can still negotiate for a fair settlement, but since you have no leverage, you will likely need to accept what you can get.
