Ok, can you recommend a lawyer in Texas that would pursue this type of case
I'm sorry, but as a provider of legal information, I'm unable to recommend specific lawyers. However, you can use resources like the Texas State Bar Association's Lawyer Referral Service to find a personal injury attorney in your area.
What type of attorney do I need
Based on your situation, you may need a Personal Injury Attorney. They handle cases involving physical injuries like yours and can help you pursue a civil case for damages. It might also be beneficial to consult with a Criminal Law Attorney given the nature of the incident.
