- Criminal DefenseImmediately after passing the bar exam, Sam took a position as a Criminal Defense attorney at a prominent Central Texas law firm that primarily handled personal injury matters.

- DUI/DWIWhen looking at the reports for these accidents, there are five major causes. These include drivers making unsafe lane changes, driving at excessive speeds, following too closely to other vehicles, failing to yield, and distracted driving. Drunk driving accidents are a significant issue in the state of Texas, as well, as there have been 987 people killed throughout the state. That’s 26 percent of the total people experiencing fatalities in auto accidents.
- Wrongful DeathAs difficult as a loved one’s death can be, their wrongful death makes everything that much harder to bear. However, you need vital evidence to uphold your case to prove wrongful death and achieve closure.
- Traffic ViolationsOne of the leading risk factors for teen drivers is speeding. In addition to feeling pressure for keeping up with traffic, they’ll also drive at excessive speeds to try to impress their peers. What they don’t realize when engaging in this risky behavior is that, when teens are involved in a fatal auto accident, speed is the cause 32 percent of the time. It isn’t uncommon for teens to see their parents speeding and use that as a cause for argument during safe driving discussions. Therefore, it’s critical for everyone in the household to implement these safety measures to ensure new drivers are safe.
- Premises LiabilityIn October 2014, the Houston-based child injury attorney Sam K. Mukerji, who second-chaired the trial with his former law partner, won a premises liability case against Pump It Up of The Woodlands. The verdict of negligence led to compensation in the amount of $1.3 million for the family of the plaintiff, a 9 year-old boy who suffered a traumatic brain injury when he fell from an inflatable bounce house at Pump It Up of The Woodlands. The boy and his brother were in an area which was unsupervised, and when the brother climbed down, the change in balance caused the boy to fall 7 feet to the concrete.
- Property DamageAs the injured party or plaintiff, you must prove to the jury that the liable party had a duty of care to prevent your accident and that the party breached that duty of care by causing the accident. Also, the accident must be the direct cause of your injuries and property damage.
