Types of accidents we work with in Rio Grande Valley


Attorney Mario Davila has devoted his legal career to helping accident victims and surviving family members. Mario and the team at Davila Law Firm represent people who have been injured through someone else’s negligence. One of the most common accident types is motor vehicle accidents such as car, truck and motorcycle accidents, along with injuries to bicyclists and pedestrians. A driver may be found responsible for damages caused in an accident if they:

  • Were speeding or otherwise ignoring traffic safety laws at the time of the collision
  • Were distracted by texting, programming GPS, or otherwise turning their attention away from driving
  • Were under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident
  • Contributed to the accident by failing to maintain their vehicle in a safe condition
  • Were negligent in any way that wholly or partly caused the accident

We also frequently represent people who have been victims of and slip and fall injuries that occur on someone else’s property. Some examples include:

  • Slipping on the wet floor in a business that failed to put up warning signs after mopping
  • Slipping on spilled liquid in a store when the management knew or should have known of the spill and failed to clean up
  • Tripping on a loose floorboard, broken step, or other poorly maintained surface
