Overview
Cameron Ziegler brings a strong work ethic and a team-oriented approach to his legal practice, values that were shaped by his lifelong involvement in sports.
Growing up, Cameron spent much of his free time playing basketball and football and developed an early appreciation for the discipline, preparation, teamwork, and perseverance that sports require. After his playing days, he continued his involvement in basketball by coaching a youth AAU team in Houston. Those experiences continue to influence Cameron's approach to practicing law, where he emphasizes preparation, collaboration, and persistence in pursuing the best possible outcome for his clients.
Cameron's practice primarily focuses on civil litigation, subrogation, and insurance-related matters. He represents clients in commercial litigation, transportation litigation, first-party defense, and premises liability litigation, including oil well/rig incidents, actual defect and negligent security/shooting incidents. His subrogation experience includes claims involving defective manufacturing equipment, defective HVAC systems, and contaminated food products across multiple jurisdictions. His practice also includes providing insurance coverage opinions and analysis, as well as evaluating defense and indemnity obligations, and other issues arising under insurance policies and contractual agreements. Cameron works closely with clients, insurers, and claims professionals to assess litigation and coverage issues, develop practical strategies, and effectively navigate complex disputes.
