Our Team
Laura Ramos James
Founder & Sole Owner
When an 18-wheeler or commercial truck is involved, the stakes change and so does the complexity. Laura Ramos James has built her practice around exactly these cases, earning recognition as a Top 10 Trucking Trial Lawyer by the National Trial Lawyers and securing many recoveries exceeding $250,000 for clients injured by semi-trucks and commercial carriers across Texas.
Laura founded Ramos James Law, PLLC in 2018 after her own experience as a personal injury victim shaped a career devoted to fighting for people facing some of the most powerful opponents in civil litigation. Trucking cases put injured clients up against major carriers, corporate insurers, and seasoned defense teams. That is exactly the fight she has spent over a decade preparing for.
Her experience spans the full range of commercial vehicle cases, from 18-wheeler collisions and disputed liability crashes to catastrophic injury claims against large carriers, with multiple six-figure recoveries for trucking clients across Texas.
