Commercial Trucking Accidents
Compensating the Victims of Commercial Trucking accidents
The Carrigan Law Group PC has handled cases involving negligent commercial truck drivers. Commercial truckers who are overworked drive tired and are inattentive to the road and the surrounding circumstances. Many times, drivers are paid, not based on safe driving records, but on the number of loads they can carry in a day or the number of miles they can travel in a given time. These pay techniques encourage fast and risky driving leading to tragic results. Through the years, Mark and his team of lawyers have represented the families of individuals killed, and those who are seriously and permanently injured by negligent commercial drivers.
Over his 30-plus years of practice, Mark has handled over 100 tractor-trailer and commercial driver negligence cases. He has represented victims of negligent tractor-trailer drivers in the states of Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and Oklahoma.
Construction Accidents
Unsafe Condition Lead to Construction Accidents
One of the areas of practice where the Carrigan Law Group PC excels is personal injury and wrongful death claims involving construction and industrial accidents. Through the years, Mark and his team have represented injured construction workers and their families in cases involving commercial and residential construction, electrocution, fall hazards, roofing accidents and materials handling equipment (forklifts, cranes, etc.).
The Carrigan Law Group PC is committed to assisting immigrants in Texas who are injured or killed in the workplace. Hardworking immigrants, working for substandard wages, are many times the victims of unscrupulous contractors who fail to provide them with needed safety training and equipment. Mark will represent these injured men and women or the families of those killed on construction sites, and pursue claims against owners, general contractors and subcontractors who may be legally responsible for these tragic incidents.

We will do whatever it takes to help you secure just compensation, whether your family member was documented or undocumented.
Workers' Compensation
Pursuing Compensatin for On-The-Job Injuries
One of Mark’s unique areas of practice is handling nonsubscriber workers’ compensation cases. Texas is one of two states that allow employers to opt out of the workers’ compensation system. Once reserved for small companies with no assets, nonsubscriber policies have become big business with many of Texas’s largest employers in retail, health services and hospitality opting out of the Texas workers’ compensation system. Many times, these cases end up in arbitration, a practice which Mark has dealt with extensively for over 20 years. Whether in the courtroom or the arbitrator’s office, Mark can obtain the best result for his injured clients who are employed by a nonsubscriber.
