When a union worker is injured on the job or killed in a workplace accident, union members and their families throughout the United States through the Emergency Response Program call Provost Umphrey Law Firm for legal advice. All of out lawyers and our staff:

• Have a commitment to unions and their members
• Fight for the rights and interest of unions and their members with integrity

Provost Umphrey Law Firm joined with Oil, Chemical, Atomic Workers Union "OCAW" (which later merged into Paper, Allied-Industrial, Chemical and Energy Workers Int'l Union "PACE" which later Merged into United Steelworkers of America "USWA") to develop an emergency response program to insure that injured union members and their families have access to expert legal representatives and resources. Many work-related injuries or fatalities are the result of companies, manufacturers and designers placing greater importance on their own profits than workers' safety. After a catastrophic injury or death occurs, many families are overwhelmed with decisions regarding benefits, workers' compensation, and insurance. The emergency response program provides the necessary information to enable the families to make informed decisions during a critical time when decisions can impact the family's welfare for years to come.

Unfortunately, many of the available benefits provided to injured workers or families fall short of the injuries and damages sustained and it is necessary to investigate every potential avenue for recovery of damages. The Union's emergency response program selected Provost Umphrey Law Firm as the law firm best equipped to provide competent and expert legal representation for its members. Although the Texas Board of Legal Specialization has certified only 10% of lawyers in Texas, every Senior Partner at Provost Umphrey Law Firm is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law. At the members' request, Provost Umphrey Law Firm will immediately respond to conduct the necessary investigation to determine the cause of the catastrophic loss. Provost Umphrey Law Firm will relentlessly and aggressively pursue witnesses, scientific evidence, and investigations necessary to win the judgements our clients need at no up-front cost to our clients.
