The Amaro Law Firm represented two young teenage men who were involved in a major wreck in Galveston County in which they were life-flighted to UTMB Galveston ER. In the wreck, the at-fault driver failed to yield and turned in front of our clients who were coming the opposite direction at about 60 mph. Unfortunately, the at-fault driver only had minimal insurance limits and no assets. Fortunately, our client had underinsured motorist coverage to help pay the medical bills, but they too had the minimal policy limits from a Louisiana policy. Thus, the clients recovered the maximum amounts of insurance available from all the vehicles involved.

Unfortunately, the medical bills for their neck, back, and internal injuries far exceeded the amount of available insurance so our clients needed help to prevent filing bankruptcy at such a young age. After several months of aggressive negotiations, the attorneys at the Amaro Law Firm negotiated down the medical bills for life flight, ER, and other medical bills, so that the clients netted $19,896.83 from the total recovery after medical bills, attorneys’ fees, and expenses were paid. In many cases, medical bills can bankrupt people who have no way to repay medical bills caused by the negligence of others. In this case, our clients were able to be compensated and avoid bankruptcy and/or entering a payment plan to pay the medical bills caused by someone else’s negligence when they hired the Amaro Law Firm.
