Dallas Personal Injury Lawyer, Dallas Auto
Accident Attorney and Dallas DWI Lawyer
Trial Lawyer representing those who are
fighting the government, insurance
companies, or other companies who are
trampling on their rights
We represent people who have been hurt or
killed in:
Automobile Accidents, 18 Wheeler Accidents, Motorcycle
Accidents, Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents, Workplace
Accidents, Industrial Accidents, Premises Liability
Accidents, Wrongful Death Cases, and other cases
where someone is hurt or killed by negligence or a
wrongful act.
We also represent people who have been arrested for
crimes and need representation (including DWI, theft by
check, DWLS, fights, or other felonies and
misdemeanors).
WHAT WE CHARGE:
We charge a contingency fee in injury cases. A contingency
fee is one where the lawyer takes a certain percentage of
whatever he recovers on your behalf. This means that you
don't pay anything until there is a recovery. At that point, the
attorney takes a percentage of the recovery as his payment.
If the lawyer cannot recover on the case, he does not get
paid.
WHAT WE DO FOR YOU:
1. We deal with the insurance company
Once we take your case, we deal with the insurance
company. You no longer have to leave message after
message with your adjuster with no return call. We will
take care of dealing with them. We deal with the insurance
company so you don't have to.
2. We watch your claim to ensure fair treatment:
Insurers keep up with changes in the law. They have staffs
of attorneys that keep up with any changes, and any
advantages that they can use against you. You need an
attorney to help you in helping to level the field.
3. We review all insurance policies: We make sure that
you are able to collect the FULL value of your claim. We
make sure that you don't overlook any type of coverage that
will help you to obtain a full recovery. If you have a certain
type of insurance coverage that will help your case, your
insurance company will not tip you off. You need an
experienced attorney to advise you what coverages to use
to make sure you receive your full benefits.
4. Evaluation of your case: Without someone with
experience evaluating your case, you will only be able to
guess what it is worth. You may guess too low, and leave
money on the table. You may guess too high, and cause
the insurer to think you are unreasonable, and cause them
to stop dealing with you. You need someone with
experience to help you evaluate your case and make a
demand that is backed up by reason, and one that will get
you results.
5. You need someone to fight on your side: Many people
think the insurance company will just pay the claim once
you make your claim. They are often rudely awakened with
a nasty letter, or a nasty phone call from a not-so-friendly
adjuster. Usually this adjuster acted very friendly at first,
and suddenly switched gears on you without apparent
reason. No, you didn't cause this adjuster to act this way
towards you. You only experienced what countless other
claimants discover. The adjuster will lull you into a false
sense of security, to "keep you under control", and then
once they have gathered the information they want to
gather, they lower the boom on you. You need someone
who knows how this game is played to fight for you so that
you are not taken by surprise.
6. We refer you to a reputable body shop if needed.
We can help you find reputable body shops to repair your
vehicle.
7. We can help gather total loss info for your vehicle:
Often, the insurance company will nickel and dime you on
the value of your vehicle if it is totaled out. We can help you
gather the information you need to get a fair value from the
insurance company.
8. We can help you to locate reputable medical
treatment facilities that will treat you for your injury.
Often, people cannot locate a doctor under their insurance
plan that can see them for an injury claim. Usually this is
due to a reason beyond the injured person's control. If you
need to see a medical doctor, we can refer you to someone
who can see you and treat you for your injury.
9. We gather the information the insurer needs: Many
people who try to handle their own claim have the same
complaint . . . the insurer keeps asking for additional
information and keeps putting off making an offer. This is
common. Sometimes it is because the injured person is
not gathering the information that the insurance company
really needs. Sometimes its just the insurance adjuster
jerking the chain of the injured person, because they know
that the injured person is inexperienced and will not know if
the adjuster is telling the truth or not. You need someone
who knows what the insurer needs, and knows when they
are being honest when they say they need "additional
information".
10. Our experience helps with almost all matters in
dealing with the injury claim: Due to the years of
experience we have, we can deal with almost any situation
that occurs in dealing with an insurance company or other
party who owes for an injury claim.
How to evaluate Pain & Suffering:
These ways of evaluating pain and suffering are not
exclusive, but are guides to how they can be evaluated.
There is no set formula, and if a jury believes someone has
incurred pain and suffering, they can offer anything they
want, from $1 up to millions in the right case.
Economic evaluation: In other words, the value of avoiding
pain. How much does society pay to avoid pain? How
many billions of dollars are spent each year in taking pain
medications in order to not feel pain? What about taking
anesthetic when a dentist drills a tooth? Or when a
surgeon is performing surgery. How much do we pay for
the anesthesia that is designed to avoid the pain? Often
we pay about as much for the anesthesia as we pay for the
medical procedure itself. There is a real and measurable
value to avoiding pain.
Religious evaluation: God created a universe. He also
created a hell. Hell's ultimate punishment is not death, but
pain. See, even our own religions put pain as the ultimate
punishment. Therefor, when pain is wrongfully inflicted,
there is a true need to compensate that person for having
been wronged.
US Constitution: The US Constitution says that our
Government cannot inflict cruel and unusual punishment.
In our country, we can impose a death sentence, but we
cannot impose a sentence placing a person in pain.
There is a value to avoiding pain. And when pain is
wrongfully inflicted on a person, it is just that the person be
compensated, our society recognizes it economically,
religiously, and Constitutionally.
