All Case ResultsCases we accept.
The law that protects you depends on where and how you were hurt — highway, refinery, rig, or open water. Getting that right is often the difference between full value and a fraction of it.
All Practice Areas
Maritime
Injury Law
Hurt working on the water? Ordinary state injury law may not be what protects you. Jones Act, maintenance and cure, and unseaworthiness claims for seamen and offshore workers — from tugboat crews to the mariners of the Maersk Alabama.

Wrongful
Death
Lost someone to another's negligence? Texas wrongful death and survival claims have their own rules about who can file, what a family can recover, and when. We handle these cases the way they deserve — built for the courtroom from day one.

Truck
Accidents
Hit by an 18-wheeler or commercial vehicle? Trucking companies put rapid-response teams on a crash within hours. The clock matters: preservation letters go out immediately for the dashcam video, telematics, driver logs, and cell phone records most firms never find.

Transportation
Accidents
Bus, rideshare, aviation, motorcycle, and self-driving vehicle crashes that cause injury or death. Every one of them leaves a data trail. We read it.

Oilfield
Injuries
Hurt in the oilfield? Drilling rig, well site, and pipeline accidents across Texas turn on a question most lawyers miss — whether your case belongs onshore or offshore. The answer can change what your case is worth.

Industrial Explosions
& Accidents
Refinery and chemical plant explosions, toxic releases, and crane and heavy equipment failures that injure and kill workers.

Personal
Injury
Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and burns change the rest of a life. We build these cases around what that life now requires — the medicine, the care plan, and the future a jury needs to see.
Learn MoreRight Now, the Company Is Building Its Side of the Story.
The dashcam video, the incident reports, the maintenance records, the witness statements — the evidence that decides your case sits in the company's hands, and it starts disappearing the day you're hurt. Every day you wait, their version hardens and yours gets harder to prove. One call to our office starts protecting your future today, and it costs you nothing.
Why VB AttorneysHow we prepare your case.
Most cases settle. The number they settle at depends on whether the other side believes your case is ready for a courtroom. Ours always are.
1. Your lawyer leads your case.
The lawyer you hire is the lawyer who leads your case — an experienced trial lawyer, supported by a Board Certified partner — and you can talk to your lawyer directly.
2. We find the evidence.
Vessel logs, maintenance records, electronic driving data, witness statements, company emails. We dig until the other side's own documents tell the story.
3. We build it for court.
Experts retained early. Depositions taken to lock in testimony. Every claim traced to the defendant's own witnesses and records.
4. You decide.
When the offer comes — and it usually does — you'll know exactly what your case is worth and exactly what going to court means. We give you our best advice; the decision to accept a settlement or go to trial is always, and only, yours.
The partners.

Straight answers.
The questions people ask before they call — answered the way we'd answer on the phone.
How do I hire VB Attorneys?
Call 877-724-7800 or use our free case-review form and tell us what happened. You do not need to know which laws apply or have every document ready. We’ll discuss whether we can help. If we agree to take your case, we’ll explain the representation agreement before you decide to hire us.
How much does it cost to hire VB Attorneys?
Your initial case review is free. We handle injury cases on a contingency-fee basis: you pay no attorney’s fee unless we recover compensation for you. Before you hire us, we’ll explain the fee agreement and how case expenses are handled so you understand the financial terms.
What kinds of cases does VB Attorneys accept?
We represent people with serious injuries and families who have lost a loved one. Our work includes truck and transportation crashes, maritime and offshore injuries, industrial and oilfield accidents, and other personal injury and wrongful death cases. We evaluate what happened, the harm involved, and whether our experience fits your case.
How do I know if I have a case?
Start by telling us what happened. You do not need to prove your case before asking for help. A claim may depend on who was responsible, what evidence is available, and how the injury affected your life. We can discuss those questions during a free review, including situations where the other side denies responsibility.
How long do I have to file a case in Texas?
Many Texas personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits have a two-year filing deadline. Exceptions can change that deadline, and claims involving government entities may require notice much sooner. Do not assume you have two years. Seek legal advice promptly so the applicable deadlines can be checked and important evidence preserved. Texas limitations law
Does VB Attorneys handle cases outside Texas?
Yes. From our Houston office, we represent injured people and families in appropriate cases across the country, including maritime and offshore matters. Where an accident happened, who was involved, and which law applies help determine where a case can proceed. Tell us where you live and where the injury occurred so we can evaluate whether we can help.
Why should I hire VB Attorneys over other personal injury firms?
Choose a lawyer you can reach and whose work you can examine. At VB Attorneys, your lawyer leads your case, and you can speak with that lawyer directly. Brian Beckcom and Vuk Vujasinovic are both Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
