Introduction

Amy Dunn has built her Houston practice around a single premise: personal injury cases deserve the full attention of a dedicated specialist, not a portion of the attention of a generalist. Amy Dunn, P.C. handles nothing but personal injury matters, which means every procedure the firm has developed, every expert relationship it has cultivated, and every hour of Attorney Dunn’s decade-plus of legal experience has been spent on precisely the types of cases her clients bring. The firm is based in the Greenway Plaza area of Houston and serves clients across the city and throughout Texas.

For clients with severe injuries, Attorney Dunn collaborates with other legal professionals to ensure that the complexity of the case is matched by the depth of the representation. Free consultations are available and the firm operates on a full contingency basis: no legal fee unless a recovery is obtained.

Practice Areas

18-Wheeler and Auto Collisions

Commercial trucking accidents and standard automobile collisions are the most common source of serious personal injury claims in the Houston area. 18-wheeler cases present particular complexity because they involve federal regulations governing driver hours of service, vehicle maintenance schedules, cargo securement, and carrier insurance requirements. Liability may attach to the driver, the trucking company, or both. The firm handles both types of vehicle collision cases, applying the appropriate level of regulatory and evidentiary analysis to each.

Motorcycle Crashes

Motorcycle riders sustain disproportionately severe injuries in crashes because of the absence of structural protection. These cases also involve specific legal considerations, including insurance coverage rules that differ from standard automobile claims. The firm represents injured motorcyclists in claims arising from collisions with other vehicles and from road hazard conditions.

Wrongful Death

Texas wrongful death law allows spouses, children, and parents of a deceased person to file claims for compensation arising from a death caused by another party’s negligence. These claims must be filed within two years of the date of death. The damages available in wrongful death cases include compensation for the pecuniary value of the relationship with the deceased, loss of companionship, and mental anguish. Attorney Dunn represents families navigating these claims with the understanding that the legal process runs alongside grief, not apart from it.

Refinery Accidents

Houston’s petrochemical and refining industry generates a category of serious injury claims involving explosions, fires, chemical exposure, and equipment failures. These cases frequently involve industrial safety regulations, employer liability, and third-party equipment or contractor claims. The firm handles refinery accident cases for workers and bystanders injured in these incidents.

Maritime Injuries

The Port of Houston and the broader Gulf Coast maritime industry create a significant volume of maritime injury claims. Seamen, longshoremen, and offshore workers may have rights under federal maritime law, including the Jones Act for seamen, the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act for certain dock workers, and general maritime law for others. These are specialized claims that require familiarity with a distinct body of federal law separate from Texas tort law.

Oilfield Injuries

Texas oilfield operations carry serious injury risks, including equipment failures, blowouts, falls, and vehicle accidents on oilfield roads. These cases involve a combination of workers’ compensation considerations, employer liability analysis, and third-party equipment manufacturer claims, depending on how the injury occurred and who was involved.

Burn Injuries

Burn injuries require specific medical expertise to treat and specific legal knowledge to litigate. They arise across multiple contexts including vehicle fires, refinery and oilfield incidents, defective products, and premises hazards. The firm handles burn injury claims regardless of the setting in which the burn occurred.

Product Liability

When a defective product causes injury, the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer may be liable depending on where in the supply chain the defect arose. Product liability claims require investigation into the product’s design, manufacturing process, and the adequacy of any warnings provided to consumers. The firm handles product liability matters as part of its personal injury practice.

Catastrophic Personal Injury

Not all personal injury claims involve temporary injuries. Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and other catastrophic harms change a person’s life permanently and require legal analysis that accounts for lifetime medical costs, lost earning capacity, and the full scope of non-economic damages. For severely injured clients, Attorney Dunn collaborates with other legal professionals to build the most complete case possible.

Attorney Profile

Amy Dunn

Attorney Dunn is a Houston personal injury lawyer with more than a decade of legal experience, all of it focused on personal injury representation. Her exclusive focus on personal injury means that her knowledge of how these cases are investigated, valued, and litigated is current and deep. She does not split her practice between personal injury and other areas of law.

For cases involving severe injuries, she brings in other legal professionals as collaborators. This reflects a practical approach to complexity: the most seriously injured clients benefit most from a team that matches the scale of the situation, and Attorney Dunn is direct about when that is appropriate.

Client Focus

Exclusive focus on personal injury has practical consequences for clients. It means Attorney Dunn does not divide her attention between different practice areas or manage client relationships that require her to shift quickly between different bodies of law. Every client who walks into the firm is a personal injury client, and the firm’s processes are built for that.

The collaboration model for severe injury cases demonstrates that the firm’s commitment to client outcomes extends to knowing when additional capacity and expertise strengthen the case. For a client who has suffered a traumatic brain injury or a spinal cord injury, having an attorney who proactively structures the legal team for the complexity of the case is a significant advantage.

Texas wrongful death law imposes a two-year deadline for claims by spouses, children, and parents. This makes early legal consultation important in any situation where negligence may have contributed to a death.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Amy Dunn, P.C. handle any areas of law other than personal injury?

No. The firm’s practice is exclusively personal injury. This means all of the firm’s experience, expert relationships, and case procedures are oriented toward the types of cases personal injury clients bring.

What is the deadline to file a wrongful death claim in Texas?

Texas law gives spouses, children, and parents of a deceased person two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death claim. Missing this deadline generally forecloses the right to recover, regardless of the strength of the underlying case. Early consultation with an attorney allows these deadlines to be identified and tracked from the beginning.

How does the firm handle cases involving severe injuries?

For clients whose injuries are severe, such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, or catastrophic burns, Attorney Dunn collaborates with other legal professionals to ensure that the complexity of the case is matched by the depth of the representation. The specific collaboration depends on what the case requires.

What maritime claims does the firm handle?

The firm handles maritime injury claims arising from the Houston and Gulf Coast maritime industry. The applicable law depends on the claimant’s specific work and how the injury occurred: seamen may have claims under the Jones Act, longshoremen under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, and others under general maritime law. These are distinct legal frameworks requiring specific analysis.

Are consultations free, and how does the contingency fee work?

All consultations are free. The firm works on a contingency basis, meaning no legal fee is charged unless a recovery is obtained. The specific percentage is discussed and agreed upon before representation begins.
