Why Choose The Krist Law Firm?
Some injury cases need a firm that hasn't been around long enough to settle bad. The Krist Law Firm has been around since 1968. Scott C. Krist obtained the largest personal injury recovery in Texas in 2011 and the largest commercial trucking verdict in Texas in 2014, and he has been listed in Best Lawyers in America for personal injury plaintiff work every year since 2008. The firm specializes in cases other PI firms send away — maritime / Jones Act injuries off the Gulf, commercial 18-wheeler wrecks, traumatic brain injury, aviation, and products liability. If your injury is catastrophic and the defendant has a sophisticated defense team, this is the kind of firm built to match them.
Situations They Handle

What Clients Say
"Hurt on a Gulf platform. The company tried to call it a routine workers' comp issue. Krist's team filed under the Jones Act, brought in a vessel-safety expert, and we settled for a multiple of what I was offered. They knew this world cold."
"An 18-wheeler killed my husband. Scott Krist personally handled our case. Two-year fight, expert engineers, the trucking company's safety violations exposed at trial. The verdict provided for our kids."
"Mild TBI that the insurance company kept calling 'subjective.' Krist's team had me evaluated by neuropsych specialists and proved the cognitive deficits objectively. Settlement covered lifetime care."
