Friendswood

The Tylka Law Firm has been proudly serving the Friendswood community with experienced legal representation and a uniquely compassionate approach to client care. In a city that faces challenges with pedestrian-friendly infrastructure and heavy commuter traffic, residents are at increased risk for serious accidents. If you experience an injury caused by someone else’s negligence, it is crucial to reach out to an attorney who understands both the legal complexities and the personal toll these incidents take on victims and their families.

Friendswood’s roadways see significant daily traffic as residents commute to nearby cities for work and travel. State Highway 288 and FM 518 are major routes that run through the area, bringing heavy traffic volumes and increased accident risks. Without enough sidewalks, crosswalks, and bike lanes in some parts of the city, pedestrians and cyclists face serious dangers when sharing the road with cars and trucks. Drivers who speed, run red lights, or fail to watch for people walking or biking can cause devastating injuries. These accidents often leave victims with broken bones, head injuries, road rash, and other serious harm that requires immediate medical attention and long-term treatment.

Friendswood is also home to many families with children, which means school zones and residential streets see constant activity. Unfortunately, distracted driving near schools and neighborhoods puts young people at risk every day. Drivers texting, talking on phones, or simply not paying attention can strike children walking to school, riding bikes, or playing near the street. These accidents are particularly tragic because they are completely preventable. Parents trust that drivers will be careful in areas where children are present, and when that trust is broken, the consequences can be heartbreaking. Tylka Law understands the emotional pain these cases cause and works to hold careless drivers accountable.

Beyond traffic and pedestrian accidents, Friendswood residents also deal with slip and fall injuries, dog bites, and other premises liability incidents. Local stores, restaurants, and shopping centers must keep their properties safe for customers, but sometimes they fail to clean up spills, fix broken floors, or maintain adequate lighting. When visitors get hurt because of these unsafe conditions, property owners can be held responsible. Dog owners also have a duty to control their pets, and when aggressive or poorly trained dogs attack people, victims may suffer painful bites, infections, and permanent scarring. Tylka Law handles these cases and fights for compensation to cover medical bills and other losses.
