Houston, TX personal injury attorney Rob Ammons tells the story of a memorable wrongful death case he handled. He states that his approach to wrongful death cases is twofold. First, he focuses on determining what happened by asking a series of “why” questions. For instance, in the Stokes case, he asks why the victim was struck by a truck—because the vehicle spun out in water. Why was the water there? His investigation reveals that a construction company had placed barriers over the drains. By asking these questions and investigating thoroughly, he uncovers the systemic causes behind such devastating tragedies.

Second, he remains deeply sensitive to the needs of his clients, especially given his own experience of losing his father in an accident. He strives to bring them comfort and reassurance, providing both compassion and clarity as he guides them through their case.
