Three decades of personal injury litigation in Houston have given Don McClure a particular expertise in the kinds of catastrophic accidents that occur in one of the nation’s busiest industrial and transportation corridors. The firm at 3355 West Alabama Street, Suite 980, Houston, TX 77098 handles auto accidents, refinery and offshore injuries, workplace accidents, dog bites, wrongful death, electrocution injuries, and product defects, all on a contingency basis that means clients pay no attorney fee unless the firm wins. Reach the office at 713-571-7777.
Houston is both a major highway hub and the center of the American petrochemical industry. That combination means the area produces a distinctive profile of serious injury cases: interstate truck collisions on highways that carry some of the heaviest commercial traffic in the country, and refinery and offshore incidents that occur in some of the most hazardous work environments that exist. Don McClure has spent more than thirty years building a practice around both categories. That is not an accident of geography. It reflects a deliberate focus on the most complex, high-stakes injury matters the Houston region generates.
Case evaluations are offered free of charge, and the firm’s contingency fee arrangement aligns the attorney’s interests directly with the client’s recovery.
Practice Areas
Auto Accidents: The firm handles the full range of motor vehicle collision cases. Car wrecks and 18-wheeler and truck accidents represent the largest volume of this practice, and commercial truck cases require particular attention to federal regulations, carrier liability, driver logs, and the distinct chain of responsibility that governs commercial transportation. The firm also handles motorcycle accidents, cases involving automotive defects where a vehicle’s malfunction contributed to the crash, and distracted driving cases where driver inattention caused preventable harm.
Refinery Accidents: Petrochemical facilities present hazards that most workplaces do not. The firm handles refinery injury cases, offshore accident claims, and matters involving chemical exposure. These cases often involve industrial employers with substantial resources and legal teams. Having a firm with three decades of experience in this specific area matters when facing that level of institutional opposition.
Work Injuries: Job-related injuries beyond the refinery context are also part of the firm’s practice. This includes falling merchandise cases, injuries in distribution and warehouse settings, and claims arising under FELA for Metro and railroad workers. Railroad workers operate under a distinct federal legal framework that differs significantly from standard workers’ compensation, and that framework requires counsel familiar with its specific requirements.
Dog Bites: Texas law provides a basis for recovery when a dog owner’s animal injures another person. The firm handles these cases.
Wrongful Death: When an accident or dangerous condition causes someone’s death, surviving family members may have claims for the losses they suffer as a result. The firm represents families pursuing wrongful death actions in auto accident, refinery, workplace, and other contexts.
Electrocution Injuries and Death: Electrical injuries produce some of the most severe outcomes in personal injury law, including burns, cardiac events, neurological damage, and death. These cases often involve premises liability, utility company negligence, or contractor failures. The firm handles both injury and wrongful death cases in this category.
Product Defects: When a defective product causes injury, the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer may carry liability. Product liability cases require expert analysis and a firm understanding of how defect theories are established. The firm handles these matters.

Location and Service Area
The Law Office of Don McClure is located at 3355 West Alabama Street, Suite 980, Houston, TX 77098. The firm serves Houston, Pasadena, and the surrounding communities of the greater Houston metropolitan area.
Houston’s scale means that its surrounding communities span a significant geographic range, from Pasadena and Baytown to the east, through the port and industrial corridors to the south, and into the suburban communities that extend in all directions from the urban core. The firm’s service area covers this broader metropolitan region and the distinctive accident and injury environments it contains.
Client Focus
The firm’s contingency fee structure, no attorney fees unless the firm wins, means that individuals who have been injured but cannot afford to pay legal fees upfront can still access experienced legal representation. For people dealing with serious injuries and potential loss of income, the ability to pursue a claim without an upfront financial commitment is significant.
Free case evaluations serve a similar function, giving prospective clients the chance to understand the strength of their situation before making any decisions. An evaluation with an attorney who has practiced in this specific area for three decades provides genuinely useful information about what a case involves, what evidence matters, and what outcomes are realistic.
The firm’s handling of both auto accident cases and industrial accident cases reflects the reality of the Houston market. Many clients work in or near the petrochemical industry, and some of those same clients travel regularly on the highways and roads that connect industrial areas to residential communities. The firm is built for the injury landscape that Houston actually presents.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the contingency fee arrangement mean for me?
On a contingency basis, you pay no attorney fees unless the firm recovers compensation for you. If the case does not result in a recovery, you do not owe attorney fees. The specific percentage and any case cost arrangements are discussed at the case evaluation.
What if my injury happened at a refinery or on an offshore platform?
The firm handles refinery and offshore injury cases specifically. These cases differ from standard workplace injury claims in several ways, including the potential involvement of maritime law for offshore matters and the specific regulatory framework governing petrochemical facilities. The firm has experience navigating these distinctions.
I was injured in a truck accident. Does it matter that it was a commercial carrier?
Yes, significantly. Commercial carrier accidents involve federal trucking regulations, carrier insurance structures, driver qualification requirements, and hours-of-service logs that standard auto accident cases do not. These factors affect both how liability is established and who can be held responsible. The firm handles 18-wheeler and commercial truck cases specifically.
What is a FELA case?
The Federal Employers Liability Act governs injury claims by railroad employees, including Metro workers, against their employers. FELA cases differ from both standard personal injury and workers’ compensation in their standards for negligence and damages. The firm handles FELA claims.
How do I start a case with the firm?
