Why Texas City Victims Trust Bret Griffin
Texas City is home to one of the largest port and refinery complexes in the nation.

Understanding Texas Personal Injury Law
Personal injury law in Texas is designed to protect people when negligence causes harm. But getting fair compensation isn’t easy, especially when you’re going up against major refineries, shipping companies, or insurers with deep pockets.
Under Texas law, you can recover damages for:
Texas follows a modified comparative negligence system, meaning your compensation can be reduced if you’re found partially at fault. Corporations often use this to shift blame onto victims. Bret Griffin knows how to fight these tactics, using evidence, expert witnesses, and thorough investigation to prove who’s truly responsible.
We also handle cases involving catastrophic injuries, including severe burns, traumatic brain injuries, and permanent disability, the kinds of injuries that require long-term rehabilitation and lifetime financial support.
