Biography

Adam Lewis joined Arnold & Itkin in May 2016 with a practice focused on catastrophic personal injury, maritime and offshore injury claims, premises liability, and wrongful death. Adam’s career in law began long before he pursued a law degree. Before joining our firm, he worked in the legal field for pharmaceutical litigation, litigation support, and technology. In addition, Adam was part of the legal department for a nationwide trucking company, equipping him with insider knowledge regarding the commercial trucking industry’s laws and practices.

After his experience with the trucking company, Adam realized he should pursue his legal passion further. He went on to earn a law degree at South Texas College of Law, where he graduated cum laude.

Our firm first met Adam when he was a law clerk while attending South Texas College of Law. His passion and legal acumen were immediately evident, and he served our offshore injury attorneys in vital ways on numerous jury trial cases. Once Adam graduated cum laude, he joined our team as a lawyer. Adam shares our vision: getting the best results for clients no matter how difficult a case might be.

Some of the recent results Adam helped secure include the following:

  • $357 million settlement related to a Texas plant explosion
  • $171 million settlement related to a Louisiana plant explosion
  • $139 million settlement related to a deadly pipeline explosion
  • $120 million settlement related to a Louisiana plant explosion

Adam possesses considerable experience in maritime trials, particularly those involving the Limitation of Liability Act of 1851. Under this outdated law, vessel owners often seek to escape accountability for their negligent actions by initiating a lawsuit that caps their liability to the value of the vessel. This means that if a crew member suffers an injury due to an offshore incident, the company may try to limit the worker's compensation to the ship's worth. In extreme cases, where the ship is a total loss, this could result in the worker receiving no compensation at all, effectively denying them the reparations they deserve. Adam has distinguished himself as the lead trial counsel in many such Limitation of Liability cases, consistently overcoming this antiquated and often unfair rule.

Adam spent his early life traveling worldwide because his father worked in the oil and gas industry. While born in Clear Lake, Texas, Adam has also called Louisiana, Nigeria, Scotland, and England his homes. Upon graduating high school in England, he returned to Texas to study history and political science at Texas Tech University, where he became a lifelong Texas Tech football fan. He’s always ready to be the difference-makers clients need when facing difficult times. With passion, skill, knowledge, and unique experience, Adam is always ready to fight for clients’ best results.

Adam travels with his wife, Sarah, and their twins, George and Grace Louise, in his free time. He’s also an avid Houston Astros fan.
