Advocating for Injured Children: Justice, Accountability, and Protection

Fighting for the Rights of Children

Children are among the most vulnerable members of our society, often unable to recognize hazards or protect themselves from harm. Too often, their injuries result from the negligence of others, including:
  • Inadequate Supervision
  • Unsafe Premises(housing, schools, parks, recreation centers, shopping malls, etc.)
  • Defective Products(cribs, car seats, toys, medicine, and other children’s products)
  • Medical Malpractice
For decades, J. Michael Solar has been a fierce advocate for children, fighting for their rights in healthcare, education, and the legal system. His dedication is evident through his leadership as:
  • National Director and Texas State Chairman of the Children’s Defense Fund, working to expand healthcare access for indigent children
  • Chairman of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston’s Charter Committee for the Protection of Children and Young People, strengthening safeguards against abuse
  • National Director of Teach For America, helping improve education opportunities for children nationwide
But Michael’s commitment to protecting children is most profoundly felt in the courtroom, where he has successfully litigated cases involving:
  • Negligent Doctors & Medical Malpractice
  • Sexual Predators
  • Unsafe Premises
  • Defective Products
  • Police Misconduct

Litigation: Building a Strong Case for Justice

The successful prosecution of a serious injury or wrongful death case requires a multidisciplinary team. Michael Solar and his firm work with:
  • Legal Expertsto establish negligence, proximate cause, and damages
  • Investigators & Forensic Expertsto preserve evidence and reconstruct events
  • Medical & Rehabilitation Professionalsto support recovery and maximize function

The Legal Process: From Investigation to Trial

  1. Comprehensive Investigation
A serious injury or wrongful death case begins with a thorough investigation:
  • Interviews with the victim and eyewitnesses
  • Review of police, EMS, and medical records
  • On-site evidence collection and analysis by private investigators
  1. Engaging Forensic Experts
Forensic experts play a critical role in proving fault and causation. These specialists include:
  • Medical Professionals(doctors, nurses, EMS personnel)
  • Engineers & Accident Reconstruction Experts
  • Law Enforcement Experts
  • Forensic Analysts(specialists in DNA, toxicology, biomechanics, and more)
Forensic experts collect, preserve, and analyze evidence—often traveling to the scene of an incident—to provide critical insights that can make or break a case. They may also testify in depositions or at trial.

  1. Filing the Lawsuit
Once the investigation is complete, our attorneys determine:
  • Whether the case has a strong legal foundation
  • Whether it should be filed in State or Federal Court
While filing a lawsuit is straightforward, complex factors may cause delays. Our firm ensures that every case is properly prepared and positioned for success.

  1. Discovery Process: Gathering the Evidence
The discovery phase ensures that all parties have access to key evidence before trial. This prevents unfair surprises and strengthens our case. Methods include:
  • Subpoenas– Court orders requiring testimony or documents
  • Depositions– Sworn out-of-court testimony recorded by transcript or video
  • Interrogatories– Written questions that must be answered under oath
  • Requests for Production– Demands for documents, electronic records, or tangible evidence
  • Requests for Admission– Written statements that must be admitted or denied
  1. Mediation: Exploring Settlement Options
Before going to trial, parties may engage in mediation, a structured negotiation process led by a neutral mediator. Mediation can be court-ordered or voluntary and is often an opportunity to reach a fair settlement without prolonged litigation. If mediation is successful, the case concludes with a signed settlement agreement. If not, the case proceeds to trial.

  1. Trial: The Fight for Justice
A trial is the formal presentation of evidence before a judge and jury. Trials follow a structured process, including:
  • Pre-Trial Motions– Arguments on legal issues before opening statements
  • Jury Selection– Choosing impartial jurors to hear the case
  • Opening Statements– Outlining each side’s case and legal theories
  • Presentation of Evidence– Witness testimony, forensic analysis, and expert opinions
  • Motions & Legal Challenges– Addressing procedural issues throughout trial
  • Closing Arguments– Final appeals to the jury for a favorable verdict
  • Jury Deliberation & Verdict– Determining liability and damages
