Car Accidents

Many are seriously injured or killed each year in Houston.  A  person dies in a car accident every 13 minutes in America.  There are about 6,000,000 car accidents each year costing 230 billion in costs each year in this country.  Negligent drivers needlessly endanger you, and your children every day, many of them due to drinking and driving.  You can learn more about what you can do when you are injured by asking for a book I wrote The Texas Accident Bible, or Hiring the Right Lawyer.  All you need to do is to fill  out one of the forms, or calling my office at 713-224-0000.  The more educated you become, the better decision you will make.

These books will answer these common questions and much more.

Frequent Questions In Car Accident Cases

“How do I know if I have a good case?”
“How can I find the right attorney for my case who is experienced, board certified and has a proven track record?”
“After paying lawyer fees and expenses, will I come out better than if I handled the claim?”
“Do I need to pay back the health insurance company that has already paid my medical bills?”
“What are important things for me to do in order to document my claim?”

We provide answers to these questions and many more in my FREE BOOKS and GUIDES, including the TEXAS ACCIDENT BIBLE, HIRING THE RIGHT LAWYER, AND A SURVIVOR’S LEGAL GUIDE. Visit my Educational Video library to learn more. Also, be sure to look at the TV and NEWS coverage of some of my other cases I have handled in this area that have gained widespread notoriety such as the Clara Harris Wrongful Death case which involved the case of the woman running over her husband. Most of my cases, however involve regular folks, some of which are shown below.

I am trained to deal with the Tricky Texas Insurance Companies

Auto accident claims adjustors in Houston, and around Texas are experts in handling claims. Their goal is to pay no money, or as little money as possible. They look at each injury victim as a statistic, and not as a person. The claims adjustor who pays a lot of money for the claims he handles doesn’t have a long future with the insurance company. His supervisor is constantly asking him to justify the payment of every penny. They demand that he find an excuse to pay the barebones minimum on even legitimate claims and to find any excuse they can to deny them. That is all they do I hours per day, every day. Most people –and many lawyers–are poorly trained to deal with these professional claims adjustors. You need to know what is in the insurance policy, what the exclusions are, what documents they rely on, what misleading tricks they use to say that you are lying about your injuries, and how they will sweet talk you to death. They will always delay, then ask for more documentation, then outright deny your claim if you don’t accept the amount they offer at the end. They are professional negotiators–much better than any car dealer you have run into–and at the end of the day will tell you to take their small offer or to “stick it.” I have seen it happen time and again.

I know and have handled a wide variety of injury claims ranging from burn to brain injuries that have resulted from car wrecks. Surprisingly, many low speed crashes cause serious injuries. Crashes less than 10 mph deliver several thousand foot pounds of force to the passengers, though the car bumper may not even be damaged. I am a Houston car accident lawyer who is board certified in the field, and can handle auto accidents, truck accidents, pedestrian accidents, bus accidents, or any other type of motor vehicular accident.

I Am Trained to Understand and Explain Injuries Caused by Motor Vehicle Accidents

Part of my job in providing the best legal services to Texas accident victims is to learn and be able to effectively explain a person’s injuries, what caused them, and how they affect a person in their daily lives. In my 26 years of experience, I have studied the medical literature, have talked to hundreds of hurt folks, and have spent hundreds of hours with doctors discussing various injuries. Thus, I understand, and can effectively explain to juries the devastation that someone like you experiences when they have a back, spinal, or brain injury. I can tell a jury about paralysis, as easily as I can discuss the treatment, and suffering someone experiences with burn injuries, or cancer pain. I understand what it is like to lose a loved one from my dealings with psychiatrists, a specialized therapy called psychodrama, and from personal experience.

Most importantly, I get to know my client well enough that I experience the hopeless loss and torment that my clients are going through. When other lawyers ask me how I am able to talk a jury into giving my clients a lot of money in their award, I tell them it is easy because I have gotten to know my client well enough to feel what it is like to really experience the devastation they have gone through. If I truly understand, then I can help the jury experience what you are going through. That is all it takes to get them to be fair with you, getting them to love you, and therefore want to pay you back for the harm you have suffered.

Car Accident Statistics

According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, (NHTSA) there are about 6,000,000 car accidents in the United States every year. About 40,000 folks are killed, and about 3,000,000 injuries in car accidents. According to NHTSA’s math, about 115 people die each day in car accidents–about one every 13 minutes. Worldwide, about 3,000 people die every year in car accidents according to the World Health Organization.

The Insurance Industry reports that folks who hire a lawyer receive about 3 ½ times more money in settlements than they do when they are not represented. (Insurance Research Council Study, 2004). If you compare my track record with the average lawyer in Houston, Texas, I hope you will find that I consistently achieve settlements, and verdicts substantially higher than the average lawyer. The day I cannot do a better job than the loud mouth lawyers who talk about how “tough and mean” they are is the day I plan to quit practicing law.
