How we can help

Your situation deserves to be understood in full.

You do not need to know the legal name for what happened before you call. Start with the event, the injury, or the loss—and the questions keeping you awake.

Practice Area

Wrongful Death

Guidance for families navigating the legal questions that follow the loss of a loved one.

No legal process can replace someone you love. Families are often asked to make practical decisions while they are still trying to understand what happened, how it could have been prevented, and what the loss means for the people left behind.

What may need attention

How the fatal event happened and who may be legally responsible
What evidence, records, and witness information may explain the circumstances
How the loss has affected the family financially and personally

How Martinez Reilly helps

Martinez Reilly helps families organize the facts, identify the people or companies whose conduct may need to be examined, preserve available evidence, and understand the legal options ahead. The first conversation can begin with what happened and the questions your family needs answered.

Practice Area

Personal Injury

Counsel for people facing the physical, practical, and legal effects of a serious injury.

A serious injury can affect every part of daily life at once: medical care, work, mobility, finances, and the ability to care for your family. It can be difficult to focus on a legal claim while you are still learning what recovery will require.

What may need attention

Who may be responsible for the injury and what insurance may apply
How medical treatment, missed work, and long-term needs should be documented
How to communicate with insurers without losing sight of the full impact of the injury

How Martinez Reilly helps

The firm evaluates how the injury occurred, the evidence bearing on responsibility, and the ways the injury has changed a client’s life. Martinez Reilly can explain the claim process, handle communication about the legal matter, and prepare a strategy around the facts and needs of the individual client.

Practice Area

Car & Truck Accidents

Representation involving passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and 18-wheelers.

After a serious crash, injured people may be dealing with emergency treatment, a damaged vehicle, missed work, and calls from insurers at the same time. Commercial-truck collisions can add companies, contractors, and additional insurance questions to an already difficult situation.

What may need attention

Driver conduct, roadway conditions, vehicle condition, and other causes of the collision
Available photographs, video, electronic information, records, and witness accounts
The roles of drivers, vehicle owners, employers, contractors, and insurers

How Martinez Reilly helps

Martinez Reilly handles matters involving passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and 18-wheelers. The firm can investigate the collision, identify the parties and coverage that may be involved, and document both the immediate injuries and the longer-term consequences for the person who was hurt.

Practice Area

Oilfield Injuries

Legal support for injuries arising in oilfield, refinery, and energy-sector work.

Oilfield, refinery, and energy-sector injuries can happen in demanding environments involving heavy equipment, hazardous materials, multiple contractors, and fast-moving operations. An injured worker and family may be left trying to understand who controlled the work and why the incident occurred.

What may need attention

The work being performed, the equipment involved, and the safety practices in place
Which employers, contractors, operators, property owners, or product manufacturers may be involved
What incident records, site information, and witness accounts may still be available

How Martinez Reilly helps

The firm examines the relationships among the companies and people involved, the conditions at the site, and the evidence surrounding the injury. Martinez Reilly helps clients understand how a workplace-related event may involve legal questions beyond an immediate employer and what paths may be available.

Practice Area

Premises Liability

Claims involving unsafe property conditions, inadequate security, and preventable hazards.

When someone is hurt because a property is unsafe, the cause is not always obvious from the first moments afterward. A fall, inadequate security, poor maintenance, or another hazard can leave an injured person wondering who controlled the property and whether the danger should have been addressed.

What may need attention

What condition or security issue caused or contributed to the injury
Who owned, occupied, managed, maintained, or controlled the property
Whether photographs, surveillance, maintenance records, reports, or witnesses can document the hazard

How Martinez Reilly helps

Martinez Reilly evaluates unsafe-property claims by examining the condition itself, who was responsible for the area, what information existed about the hazard, and how the injury affected the client. The firm can help gather the available facts and explain whether the circumstances support a legal claim.

Practice Area

Products Liability

Matters involving products alleged to be defective, unsafe, or inadequately labeled.

When a product fails or behaves in an unsafe way, the injured person may have little information about how it was designed, manufactured, tested, or labeled. The company with those answers may already be examining the incident before the injured family knows what questions to ask.

What may need attention

Whether the product’s design, manufacture, warnings, instructions, or performance may be involved
How the product and its condition can be preserved and documented
Which manufacturers, distributors, sellers, or other entities may have relevant information

How Martinez Reilly helps

The firm handles matters involving products alleged to be defective, unsafe, or inadequately labeled. Martinez Reilly can examine the product, available records, and circumstances of use; identify the entities in the distribution chain; and work through the technical and legal questions surrounding the injury.

Practice Area

Aviation Accidents

Complex legal questions involving aircraft incidents and aviation safety.

An aircraft incident can leave families facing profound loss or injury while technical investigations are beginning elsewhere. The number of organizations involved—and the specialized records they control—can make it hard to know where to turn for independent answers.

What may need attention

The roles of aircraft owners, operators, pilots, maintenance providers, and manufacturers
What flight, maintenance, communication, weather, and component information may be relevant
How separate investigations and insurance issues relate to the family’s legal questions

How Martinez Reilly helps

Martinez Reilly helps clients navigate the complex factual and legal questions that can follow an aviation accident. The firm can identify the parties and records that require review, coordinate appropriate investigation, and keep the client’s needs central while the circumstances are examined.

Practice Area

Civil Rights

Representation concerning alleged violations of rights protected by law.

When a person believes someone acting with governmental or institutional authority violated protected rights, the imbalance of power can make speaking up feel daunting. People may be unsure whether what happened is legally actionable or how to preserve an accurate record of the event.

What may need attention

Who exercised authority, what occurred, and what harm followed
Whether video, photographs, reports, communications, policies, witnesses, or medical records exist
Which individuals or institutions may bear legal responsibility for the alleged violation

How Martinez Reilly helps

The firm evaluates alleged violations of rights protected by law by listening carefully to the account, examining the available evidence, and identifying the legal and institutional issues involved. Martinez Reilly can explain the available process and help a client decide what next step fits the facts.
