ACCOUNTABILITY ON THE WATER & ON THE ROADWAYS
If you or a loved one is injured due to the carelessness of others, whether from improper operating commercial vehicles, vessels or equipment, contact Charles Herd. Those liable for injuries and damages should be held responsible. For over 35 years Charles has handled these types of cases.
Negligence is one of the basic concepts upon which personal injury and other bodies of law are based. As humans, we all make mistakes. The question is whether we own our mistakes. Everyone can and should take appropriate precautions to protect themselves and others. All too often, this is as simple as establishing and following proper safety rules.
- Don’t drink and drive.
- Always wear a helmet.
- Put on your seat belt.
- Follow instructions on the job, especially on a commercial vessel or rig!
RESOLVE LEGAL DISPUTES IN AN INFORMAL SETTING OUTSIDE THE COURTROOM
Individuals and business owners are often cognizant of time and expenses when seeking to resolve a dispute. Many times, mediation and arbitration services are utilized instead of taking a case to trial. These alternative dispute resolution measures often resolve legal issues between parties in an informal setting that is more efficient and cost-effective for the parties involved.
Charles F. Herd has decades of experience in mediation and arbitration proceedings in the State of Texas. As a trained mediation neutral with an extensive background in negotiating skills, parties maximize the likelihood of successfully negotiating an agreeable resolution outside of the courtroom.
