Austin aviation lawyers fighting for victims of families of plane, helicopter, and aviation accidents
Aviation accidents typically result in very serious and complex injuries or fatalities. The energy of a plane crash is devastating on aircraft occupants. Aviation accident survivors often suffer catastrophic injuries such as paralysis, brain trauma, burns, and broken bones, plus severe emotional and mental trauma.
Aviation cases are also legally complex in that they typically involve several defendants, a complicated process of determining what law may be applied and a determination of where the lawsuit should be brought. Our aviation attorneys possess an in-depth understanding of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, international and maritime law and have accident investigation skills, and an understanding of the significant role that the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) plays in investigating aviation accidents..

Our team is led by active lawyer-pilots who are respected by aviation industry leaders.

Strong representation for victims of commercial truck crashes and car accidents in Austin
Commercial trucks provide goods to the residents of Austin and deliver our products to the rest of the world. However, operating a commercial truck takes skill, and even experienced truckers can be negligent behind the wheel. Wrecks, rollovers, jackknifes, underride accidents, and other crashes unique to commercial vehicles are common: In 2020, more than 14,600 people were seriously injured in Texas truck accidents.
At Slack Davis Sanger, our Austin truck accident lawyers have the experience and resources you need to handle these complex cases. We often file claims against multiple defendants such as the driver, the owners of the truck, shippers, and brokers. We work with investigators and other professionals to show how the accident happened and who is responsible for your injuries or the death of a loved one.
Car accidents that cause catastrophic injuries also require seasoned injury lawyers. Just as we work with skilled professionals in truck accident cases, we also rely on our vast network of professional resources to help us determine how your car accident happened.

Holding employers and others responsible for Austin worksite accidents
Two of the most dangerous industries in Texas are oil and gas extraction and construction. Oilfield workers are at risk for fires and explosions due to flammable fluids and gases. Working on derricks and around pipelines and oilfield equipment can be extremely dangerous, and, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics, vehicle accidents are another common cause of accidents and fatalities in the oilfield and construction industries.
Construction workers are at constant risk of falling from scaffolds and dangerous heights. They may be electrocuted or suffer severe electrical injuries if they come in contact with unmarked power lines or are provided with defective equipment. Many workers are pinned, caught, or injured by falling objects, and heavy equipment such as cranes, bulldozers, and forklifts.
Texas is different from most states. While many states require that all employers cover their employees with workers’ compensation, Texas does not. In those circumstances Texas workers can file a personal injury claim against their employer as well as against other responsible parties that were jointly responsible for the worksite accident. At Slack Davis Sanger, our Austin worksite accident attorneys understand how important it is for you to get back to work or to be fully compensated if you can no longer earn a paycheck.
We fight to hold those responsible for a worksite accident accountable and to recover all of your financial losses (lost income and medical bills) and all your non-economic losses (pain and suffering, scarring and disfigurement, and loss of consortium). If your employer failed to follow industry standards or workplace safety laws, we will aggressively pursue those claims. If defective equipment caused your injuries, we will hold the manufacturer or party responsible for maintenance responsible. We will consult with your doctors to understand your immediate and long-term medical needs, including treatments with health providers and the care you need for chronic pain and disability.
Tenacious legal help when defective vehicles cause injuries or fatalities
Makers of defective car parts are strictly liable if their faulty parts cause an accident or fail to protect you as they should. Our Austin product liability lawyers hold manufacturers, distributors, and sellers of defective products liable by working to show the car part was designed improperly, made improperly, or the instructions on use were faulty. Some of the many car parts that have already been the subject of litigation include power trains, electrical components, ignitions, fuel lines, airbags, seatbelts, steering columns, and tires.
We also investigate whether your car part was the subject of a recall by any federal agencies such as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Vehicle defects can cause crashes or cause drivers to lose control of their vehicles. At Slack Davis Sanger, our Austin defective vehicle accident attorneys file auto defect claims, wrongful death lawsuits, personal injury claims, and class action lawsuits when car manufacturers put profit before safety.
Advocating for Austin victims of medical malpractice
If a healthcare provider owes a patient a duty of medical care and fails to provide that care in a competent manner, then the health provider may be liable for the patient’s injuries or the tragic death of a loved one. Physicians, hospitals, ER doctors, and other healthcare professionals can be held liable if they commit surgical errors, make diagnostic mistakes, pharmaceutical errors, or otherwise fail to meet appropriate medical or professional standards.
At Slack Davis Sanger, our Austin medical malpractice lawyers work with specialists and physicians who can testify why medical malpractice occurred. Our on-staff Legal Nurse Consultant is here to help analyze your medical records and treatment plan, so we can accurately explain to a jury just how serious your injuries are. Whether you making a claim in Texas or are filing a federal medical negligence lawsuit, we can help.
