Fred Willumsen

Fred Willumsen is a Houston personal injury trial attorney who represents people injured through negligence and families pursuing wrongful death claims. He focuses on collisions involving 18-wheelers, commercial trucks, cars, and impaired drivers, as well as serious injuries arising from other dangerous conduct. His practice also includes representing families whose children have been abused or neglected in daycare settings. Fred prepares claims for negotiated resolution or trial and works with clients making important decisions about their cases.

Fred earned a Bachelor of Arts in Justice from American University in Washington, D.C., in 1989. He went on to receive his Juris Doctor from the University of Houston Law Center in May 1993. He was admitted to the Texas bar that year and has concentrated much of his career on injury litigation. His legal education and trial experience support his approach to gathering evidence, understanding how an accident occurred, and presenting an injured person’s losses to opposing parties or a jury.

Fred investigates the causes of collisions and serious injuries, gathers evidence, and identifies individuals or companies whose conduct contributed to the harm. In truck accident cases, his work can involve commercial drivers and other responsible parties. He also takes on wrongful death matters where surviving relatives seek accountability for a preventable loss. Fred emphasizes that settlement decisions belong to the client and that a case must be adequately prepared when a jury trial becomes necessary.

Fred has been board certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 2014. His professional associations include the Houston Trial Lawyers Association, Texas Trial Lawyers Association, and Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys. He has represented injured people and families for approximately three decades, with a particular focus on high-stakes trucking and roadway incidents.
