Without an experienced work accident attorney on your side, you may find yourself in an uphill battle against the company’s extensive resources.

That’s why it is so important for you to call an experienced Houston work injury lawyer at Williams Hart & Boundas. This will protect you from being taken advantage of by your employer, the company-recommended doctor, or the insurance company in the aftermath of your accident.
