Earl Drott Law

Divorce
Child Abuse
Large verdicts and settlements call attention to the problem of child abuse and cause individuals and organizations to be more careful with the lives of our children. Large verdicts and settlements also encourage other victims to come forward, stop the cycle of abuse, and start the healing process.

Criminal Defense
A good example of when I might allow my client to give a recorded statement is the situation where a drunk driver caused an accident, got out of the wrecked car and fled on foot and then hired a criminal defense lawyer who advised him not to give any information to anyone out of fear of criminal prosecution. In that situation the adjuster might have a legitimate need to have my client specifically describe the driver of the at-fault vehicle in order to confirm that the drunken driver was one of their named insureds, or at least someone authorized to be driving the car, and that there was thus coverage for the accident. If the insurance carrier is not able to confirm that the intoxicated driver was covered by their insurance policy they may very well not be willing to proceed with the matter and thus it may be in my client's best interest to give a statement.
DUI/DWI
In order to recover the maximum damages a Tyler car wreck lawyer must understand the law regarding gross negligence and punitive damages. If the auto accident was caused by the gross negligence of the at-fault driver then you may also recover punitive damages. We regularly recover punitive damages in auto accident cases involving DWI/DUI, texting, and accidents involving other types intentional misconduct.
Wrongful Death
If the accident resulted in a fatality then the Estate of the deceased may recover all the above damages to the extent they were incurred prior to death. The parents, spouse, and children of the deceased may also recover loss of consortium and loss of support damages. For a more detailed discussion regarding wrongful death cases visit our Wrongful Death page.
Traffic Violations
We have handled car accidents resulting from just about every conceivable cause including driver inattention, excessive speed, reckless driving, racing, drunken driving, talking on a cell phone, texting, driver drowsiness, wet roads, poor road conditions, putting on makeup, changing clothes, running from the police, fleeing a robbery, chasing an ex-wife, running over a cheating boyfriend, reading a map, adjusting the radio and yes, sexual activity while driving. As auto accident lawyers, we take an aggressive posture in alcohol related cases which has resulted in our continuing to handle a large number of automobile accident cases caused by the consumption of alcohol.
Sex Crimes
The most common sexual molestation scenario in East Texas is the abuse of a stepdaughter by a stepfather or the abuse of a daughter by her mother's live-in boyfriend. However, abuse occurs in many contexts and the perpetrators include teachers, priests, clergy, coaches, daycare workers, therapists, medical doctors, family members, and even the counselors that treat abuse victims. One of the greatest impediments to curtailing the damage caused by sexual abuse is getting the victims to come forward and report the abuse. The manipulative sociopaths that sexually abuse children are so good at convincing their victims that the abuse is the victim's fault that it is often years before the victim breaks the silence, if ever.
Robbery
Drug Crimes
Drug defect claims and the associated litigation are complex and varied. All drugs sold for human consumption must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Those injured by defective drugs must prove that the defect that injured them was not disclosed to the FDA by the drug manufacturer during the FDA approval process. Defective drug claims are rarely pursued as individual lawsuits. Drug cases are sometimes pursued as federal class actions but are more often pursued in multiparty multidistrict litigation commonly referred to as MDLs. MDLs are managed by the federal courts and each has their own rules and procedures. As an experienced Tyler Injury Lawyer, I understand drug cases that are originally filed in Tyler or other East Texas courts are often combined into a single case in another area of the country.
Assault
Separate and apart from the claim against the employer pursuant to Texas Labor Code §21 or the assault and battery claim, the offensive and unwelcome sexual contact with an employee or co-worker may constitute public lewdness in violation of Texas Penal Code § 21.07, indecent exposure pursuant to Texas Penal Code §21.08, and/or a criminal assault under Texas Penal Code §22.01(3).

Business and Corporate Law

Construction Contracts

Workers Compensation
As an experienced Injury Lawyer in Tyler, I know on the job injuries can occur in any occupation but are much more likely to occur in the more dangerous industries such as the construction, oilfield, or manufacturing industries. To qualify as on-the-job injury the accident must have taken place while the injured worker was acting in furtherance of the business purposes of the employer. Thus if the injured employee was performing some part of the job for which they were hired or other activity which benefited the employer then they will likely be found to be acting in the course and scope of their employment. Employer liability for on-the-job injuries is fault based. Thus the injured employee must prove that some act or omission of the employer which amounted to negligence caused the accident and the resulting injuries. Workers' Compensation Subscribers
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment in the workplace is nothing new in Texas. Sexual harassment falls under the regulations of §21 of the Texas Labor Code. Sexual harassment is unwelcome, offensive conduct directed at or committed in the presence of an employee.

Premises Liability
As a Tyler Injury Lawyer, I know that premises liability cases take many forms. The most common premises liability case is the slip and fall case which occurs because the business either places a slippery substance on the floor or fails to make reasonable efforts to remove a slippery substance that was spilled on the floor. Another common type of premises liability case is a trip and fall case which occurs as a result of uneven floor surfaces, poorly marked changes in elevation, broken sidewalks, broken or worn steps, or unnoticeable foreign objects on the floor.
Construction Litigation
The common law doctrines regarding breach of contract also offer remedies where a Defendant fails to perform as promised and usually includes the payment of attorneys' fees. The parties to a Texas contract have a duty of "good faith and fair dealing" in connection with the performance of the contract. The breach of this duty is often referred to as "bad faith". Bad faith claims are often asserted in connection with construction contracts, health and liability insurance policies, residential real estate contracts, and a variety of service contracts.
Real Estate Transactions
Most waivers of consumer rights under the DTPA are void as contrary to public policy. Any violation of Texas Insurance Code Chapter 541 automatically qualifies as a violation of the DTPA. Section 17.505 requires that consumers give potential defendants a 60 notice and demand setting forth the details and amounts of the complaint and giving the defendant an opportunity to resolve the matter by payment of actual damages and attorneys' fees. Section 17.49(c) exempts from the DTPA claims for professional services which primarily involve the rendering of advice, judgment, opinion, or similar professional skill. Most services rendered by attorneys and physicians are exempt from the Act. However, an attorney that acted unconscionable or a doctor that misrepresented a treatment or probable result would nonetheless be liable under the DTPA. Section 17.49(e) exempts traditional personal injury claims from the scope of the Act. However, a deceptive trade practice that results in personal injuries falls within the scope of the Act subject to the damage limitations of the Act. Section 17.49(f) excludes written contracts covering transactions involving more than $100,000 and Section 17.49(g) exempts transactions for more than $500,000. However, these exemptions do not apply to residential real estate transactions.
Property Damage
A good example of a defectively manufactured component is illustrated by an air bag malfunction case recently handled by my law firm. An automobile struck a medium sized dog in the roadway causing minimal property damage and resulting in very little reduction in the speed of the vehicle.

Personal Injury
After more than thirty-seven years and thousands of personal injury cases there is virtually nothing that we haven't seen and successfully handled. There is no substitute for experience. If you want the assistance of an experienced Board Certified Tyler Car Accident Lawyer in the Tyler / Longview / East Texas area contact us today.
Auto Accidents
Dog Bites
Dog bites also cause emotional damage that should not be taken lightly. We all grow up believing that a dog is a man's best friend. When one of our man's best friends mauls us it often causes an emotional scarring and a fear of dogs that lasts a lifetime. Many people also mistakenly believe that the first bite is free. This saying is simply not true. While legal liability for the second or third time that a dog bites someone is a foregone conclusion the first bite is still not free.
