We were able to exhaust the entire policy limits of the underlying insurance for the drunk driver, as well as obtain sizable compensation from the underinsured motorist's carrier for our clients to recover a total amount of $162,500. Total attorney's fees and expenses were $45,906.03.

Major auto accidents happen every day here on the busy roads and highways in the Fort Worth/Dallas/Arlington Metroplex. These accidents can cause considerable bodily injury to the innocent driver or their passengers, including neck and back injuries, spine and disc problems, broken bones, scarring and disfigurement, brain injury, shoulder and knee injuries and even wrongful death. The injured party has a legal right to fair compensation for their injuries and pain and suffering.
The local roads are dominated by large trucks, whose driver's sometimes seem blind to the everyday passenger vehicle going to and from work and school. Oftentimes, these truck drivers are driving fatigued, as they have exceeded the federally mandated restrictions on hours allowed to drive per day. Or maybe their trucks are not well maintained and should not even be on the road. Accidents involving these big rigs are devastating. If the innocent occupants of the passenger vehicle are lucky enough to survive, the injuries are usually very serious and long lasting.

Tragically, young kids get hurt in accidents just like adults. They are sometimes the innocent victims of car wrecks, defective products, dangerous conditions, dog attacks and other preventable incidents. A child cannot hire a lawyer to bring a claim themselves, but it is the duty of their parent or guardian to bring an injury claim on the child's behalf so fair compensation can be paid and held in trust for the child's benefit.
Dogs are widely considered to be man's best friend, if a vicious dog's owner is negligent, the result is often that the animal will attack an innocent victim causing serious personal injuries ranging from biting to mauling. In the worst cases, dog attacks can be fatal.

Almost a quarter of the drivers on Texas roads do not have liability insurance, even though it is required by the state. And the ones who do have insurance are likely to have the state minimum of only $25,000. For serious injuries from car, truck or motorcycle accidents, there is a strong chance that there will not be adequate insurance to fully and fairly compensate you for your accident related injuries. If you have underinsured or uninsured motorists coverage, this allows you to make a claim as if the at fault driver was indeed adequately insured.
