Uber passenger car wreck (December 2021)

Our client was the backseat passenger in an Uber that was t-boned by another driver at an intersection where the Uber driver had the right of way.

 

Our team successfully negotiated a policy limits settlement with the at-fault driver’s insurance company and continued pursuing a claim with Uber through the underinsured motorist (UIM) benefits available to Uber passengers.

 

Less than two months after receiving the policy limits settlement from the at-fault driver’s insurance, our team negotiated a confidential settlement with Uber’s UIM insurance carrier.

Four year old run over by lawnmower (November 2021)

In April of 2021, our minor client was playing in her grandfather’s front lawn while the grandfather was cutting the grass with a push-lawnmower.  As our client was running, she tripped in leaves, and her grandfather was unable to stop the mower and the four year-old’s left leg was sucked into the mower’s blades.

 

As a result, our client had two severe lacerations and deep-muscle wounds to her left leg which required extensive trauma surgery and skin grafts.  While our client has been fortunate in that she received immediate medical care, her family sought the Amaro Law Firm’s help to ensure that she could continue to have funds for significant medical attention in the future as she grows.

 

Our firm made a claim against the grandfather’s homeowner’s policy and attained a policy limits settlement less than five months after the nearly tragic injury.

Bicyclist breaks pedestrian’s neck in collision (November 2021)

Our client was in Houston to help her daughter care for her first child, a six-month old boy. One day, our client put her grandson in a stroller and went on walk through a local park with her daughter. While they were on the footpath, a bicyclist came out of nowhere and slammed into our client.

Her injuries were severe. She fractured her neck and dislocated her right shoulder. Her neck injury needed immediate surgery and required installing a screw in her spine.

Our attorneys determined that the bicyclist had insurance through his homeowner’s policy. The litigation team filed a lawsuit when the insurance company did not take our client’s injuries seriously. After two years of litigation, we went to mediation. The case did not settle at mediation, but our injury attorneys did not give up. We continued working with the mediator and the defendant’s insurance company and were able to reach a confidential and substantial settlement.

Dog attacks minor child (October 2021)

Our client, a five year old boy, was at a family friend’s ranch with his father preparing for a December hunt.  Unbeknownst to our client’s father, the friend had a known to be aggressive dog that lived on the property.  While the property owner stated that he had locked the dog in a room for visitors’ safety, the dog escaped and viciously attacked our minor client.

 

As a result of the ferocious attack, our client sustained lacerations to his face, the back of his head, his left leg, and his left arm, and needed twenty-two staples to close the lacerations to his head.

 

After opening a claim with the property owner’s homeowner’s policy, our attorneys were able to reach a confidential settlement for our minor client while he received the essential treatment he needed.  Our team also provided young boy’s family with financial advisors to organize an investment plan that will help set up the child’s future despite his traumatic experience.

Nail Salon Amputation Injury (October 2021)

In April of 2017, we received a call from a woman who suffered life-altering injuries while getting a pedicure.  A nail tech assisting with the pedicure used a dangerous and unsanitary tool—prohibited in other states due to inherent risks to unsuspecting patrons—and severely sliced our client’s foot.  The unsanitary tool caused the deep slash to become infected.  The infection quickly spread across our client’s foot, causing major medical complications and requiring multiple surgeries.

 

Despite doctors’ best efforts, the infection eventually required amputation of her toes to stop further infection spread.  As a result of our client’s ongoing impairment due to her injury, she was forced to make the heartbreaking decision to send her young son to stay with relatives in Mississippi while she treated and recovered.

 

Our personal injury attorneys acted fast and immediately began collecting evidence.  Our firm’s in-house investigator went to the salon and uncovered that while the salon did not advertise use of the dangerous, illegal tool, there was a “secret menu” provided to salon patrons upon being seated in the pedicure chair.

 

Our attorneys filed a lawsuit, and discovered that this salon had numerous health code infractions. After organizing a virtual focus group during the COVID-19 pandemic, our team realized the value that Harris County jurors would appraise our client’s damages to be, and we negotiated a confidential settlement for our client through mediation.

Our client was traveling with the right of way on North Timberland Drive in Angelina County, Texas, when the driver of an eighteen-wheeler ran a red light and t-boned our client’s vehicle.

 

As she sustained injuries to her neck, back, shoulder, and abdomen in the collision, our client reached out to the Amaro Law Firm for help.  Facing litigation for a case where its client was clearly at fault, the insurance company reconsidered its position and re-engaged in negotiation.  Our team was able to reach a confidential settlement within two months of filing the lawsuit and without the need to put our client through depositions and discovery.

Grocery store slip and fall (July 2021)

On a rainy day after work, our client stopped at a Waco, Texas grocery store on her way home.  As she walked past the checkout lanes toward the produce, she slipped and fell on water that had pooled on the floor.

 

As a store clerk helped our client into a wheelchair, her pants were wet and her left ankle had already started to swell.  As a result of her fall, our client broke her ankle and suffered from herniated discs in her lower back.

 

When the grocery store blamed our client for her fall, our litigation attorneys filed a lawsuit.  We discovered that the store did have a policy to put out mats in front of the store during the rain.  However, on the day our client fell, the mats were not put out, and customers tracked water into the store.

 

At mediation, our personal injury attorneys helped our client reach a confidential settlement.

Scaffold collapses and caused brain injury to contractor (July 2021)

Our client was performing construction work at a Greenville, Texas, church when the scaffold he was working on collapsed. Our client’s injuries were extensive. He had a fractured arms and cuts to his head. He was unconscious when the paramedics arrived and was life flighted from the scene.

Over the next months and years, our client received treatment for his orthopedic injuries and brain injury. He suffered issues with short term memory, headaches, and anxiety from the injuries and frustration. During those months and years, our injury attorneys fought against the contractors who allowed him to work on this dangerous scaffold which was put up in violation of basic OSHA standards (i.e., missing outriggers).

During litigation, our attorneys hired expert witnesses to explain what exactly had happened on the day our client fell and how it could have easily been prevented. We learned that the scaffolding used was meant to be set up with support arms called “outriggers,” and the contractors had not installed any of the necessary outriggers. The insurance company simply was trying to find a way to avoid coverage for the contractors.

Our injury lawyers showed up ready for trial inHunt County, Texas and argued pre-trial motions. A jury was empaneled, and jury selection was to begin Monday. After years of offering nothing on technical coverage grounds in bad faith, the insurance company finally relented when it became apparent that a large verdict was imminent.

Motorcyclist injured and at fault driver initially denies responsibility (June 2021)

Our client was a motorcyclist on FM 1960 in Houston, Texas when another driver cut him off when he took a left turn in front of him.  Our client’s motorcycle hit the passenger side of the left-turning car, and our client flew over the roof of the car.  He was knocked unconscious when he struck the ground.

As a result of the collision, our client suffered from fractured ribs, a fractured scapula, a fractured sternum, and nerve damage to his left shoulder that caused him to lose function in that arm that will never fully heal.

The defendant claimed that our client was speeding on his motorcycle and produced two witness statements to support her account.  Our motorcycle accident attorneys filed a lawsuit to fight for our severely injured client’s rights.

In litigation, the witnesses flipped their positions once they heard all the facts without the insurance adjuster’s framing.  We proved that our client had the green light and right of way, and that there was no evidence that our client was speeding.

After initially denying all liability for the collision, our attorneys were able to secure a substantial and confidential settlement for our injured motorcyclist client.

Pedestrian Hit by Car in Texas Medical Center (May 2021)

Our client was crossing a street in a crosswalk at night when he was struck by a luxury electric vehicle that did not slow down at all prior hitting our client.

 

Our client was thrown through the air and lay bleeding on the ground unconscious while the driver who hit him called 911.  Our client sustained severe injuries, including fractures to his pelvis, knee, leg, foot, ribs, and facial bones.  These injuries necessitated multiple surgeries, including the installation of hardware in the right leg, and the implantation of a percutaneous endoscopic gastronomy (PEG) tube as a complication from rib fractures.

18 wheeler wreck – multi-vehicle collision (May 2021)

Our client was driving his Ford Expedition on the North Freeway in Houston with his three grandchildren as backseat passengers and his wife in the front passenger seat when the family vehicle was rear-ended by an eighteen-wheeler.  After the initial collision with our clients’ vehicle, another four cars, and six individuals were affected.  Our clients sustained the most serious injuries reported after the wreck, including the grandfather’s torn rotator cuff that required surgery to repair.

 

Our team was able to obtain the dashcam footage from one of the other involved vehicles which captured the collision with our client’s vehicle.  The dashcam footage clearly showed that the eighteen-wheeler driver failed to control his speed on the busy Houston highway and collided with our clients’ first.

 

Our attorneys organized a global mediation to settle the interests of all eleven individuals affected by the collision.  During this mediation, our clients received the lion’s share of a commercial insurance policy and the case settled just over fifteen months after the wreck.

After four years of litigation, and continued treatment which included spinal surgery, we settled with our client’s UIM carrier at a court-ordered mediation on the eve of trial.

Veteran experiences PTSD flashback after car wreck (May 2021)

The Amaro Law Firm had the privilege to represent a United States Army Veteran after he was in a car wreck that left him with a concussion and triggered his post-traumatic stress disorder.

Our client was making his first delivery driving run of the day, when another driver ran through a red light and t-boned our client’s work truck. Our client hit his head inside the truck, blacked out, and did not remember where he was when he woke up. He believed that he was back in combat, and desperately tried to find his helmet in the truck.

When police arrived, our client was confused and had vomited due to his head injury. While our client received treatment for a concussion and post-concussion syndrome, our attorneys worked to make the insurance company compensate our client for his severe injuries.

The insurance company was completely unreasonable, so our personal injury lawyer team filed a lawsuit. We found out that the other driver’s vehicle had failed inspection the week before the wreck and had not fixed her brakes.

As our team prepared for trial over three years of litigation, the insurance company finally gave in and settled the case for policy limits.

Police officer distracted on computer causes major car wreck (April 2021)

Our clients were attempting to exit the freeway in Harris County, when an on-duty police officer smashed into the rear of their car. Our clients’ vehicle was crushed like a tin can. The husband suffered broken ribs, and he ultimately had to have his spleen removed. The wife sustained horrific facial injuries and a broken arm.

The police officer admitted that he was using his in-cruiser computer right before the wreck, but the government refused to pay for the injuries its employee caused. Our injury attorneys filed a lawsuit in Harris, County to hold the government accountable.

We pushed in litigation and made it clear to the government understand that we would not stop until we got our clients full justice. After eight months of weekly contact with the government attorneys, our clients received the maximum settlement allowed by a government entity.

Our injury lawyer team did not stop with the government’s settlement. We continued fighting for our clients with their own underinsured motorist insurance. The insurance adjuster saw our clients’ injuries for the value they were worth and we recovered the full policy limits for both clients which was very substantial.

Sleepy driver causes major car wreck (March 2021)

In 2019, after the Houston Rodeo, our client was a backseat passenger in her friend’s vehicle. As they were headed home, another driver ran a red light and hit our client’s car going very fast.

The impact threw our client’s head against the clothing hanger in the car, causing a huge laceration from her left eyebrow to her forehead. Our client also suffered from severe neck and back pain after the auto collision. She needed a fusion surgery for her neck and her lower back. Our client was referred to the injury lawyers at the Amaro Law Firm because she needed help fighting the insurance companies and getting proper treatment for her personal injuries.

Our client’s two friends in the vehicle were injured, but not nearly as seriously as our client. The driver who caused the car wreck carried a large insurance policy, and our injury attorneys fought to make sure our client received a settlement she deserved.

Our car wreck attorney team attempted to mediate the case prior to filing suit, but were unable to reach a settlement at the first mediation. Once our attorneys filed a lawsuit, we were able to discover that the other driver had been traveling since 2 AM the day before the collision and was leaving the airport when the car wreck happened.

Our attorneys set up a second mediation and were able to negotiate a confidential settlement for our client. After the settlement with the at-fault driver, our injury attorneys did not stop. We were able to reach policy limits settlements with our client’s own underinsured motorist coverage and her friend’s underinsured motorist coverage.

Improper u-turn causes collision (March 2021)

Our client was driving in the left-hand lane of a two-lane road.  Another driver, traveling in the right-hand lane, attempted to make a u-turn in front of our client’s oncoming vehicle.  This driver struck our client’s vehicle, causing damage down the entire passenger side of our client’s vehicle.

 

During the collision, our client struck his head on the window of his vehicle.  He had very little memory of the collision itself due to his head injury.  In addition to his head injury, our client sustained significant neck injuries which necessitated a fusion surgery.

 

After the Defendant driver was served with the lawsuit, a new adjuster was assigned to the file. The liability policy for the at-fault driver was tendered before the Defendant’s answer to the lawsuit was due, eliminating the need for potentially costly depositions and discovery.

 

Our team continued working for our client after the third party policy was tendered and reached a confidential settlement with our client’s own underinsured motorist insurance as well.

Neighbor’s dog attacks minor child (February 2021)

Our six year-old client was visiting his aunt one summer afternoon and jumping on her trampoline when a neighbor’s dog, that had been allowed to roam loose, came on to the aunt’s property.  When our client got off the trampoline, the dog lunged and attacked our client in his face.

 

After receiving stitches to close the lacerations to his face, our client’s family reached out to the Amaro Law Firm for help.  Our personal injury lawyers assisted the family in reaching an early, confidential settlement with the dog’s owner and with the aunt’s homeowner’s insurance policy without filing a lawsuit.

Motor Vehicle Accident involving 18-Wheeler (February 2021)

In January of 2018 our clients, the driver and front-seat passenger of a Ford F-150, were rear-ended by an 18-wheeler on I-10 in Houston.  At that time, the commercial truck driver, who was recklessly driving the 18-wheeler commercial vehicle, failed to control the speed his speed, could not stop it in time, and slammed into the back of our clients’ vehicle.

 

Due to the impact, our clients suffered severe personal injuries, some of which required surgery.  The 18-wheeler driver’s actions went against all industry standards, training, and the Texas Commercial Driver’s License Handbook.  Professional truck drivers are responsible, among many duties, for operating their tractor-trailer at a safe speed, leaving plenty of space around their tractor-trailer for other vehicle, identifying hazards (such as traffic), and driving defensively.  The trucking company also has responsibility to ensure its driver knows these safety measures before putting someone behind the wheel of an 80,000 pound tractor-trailer.

 

During litigation, the Amaro Law Firm discovered multiple violations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act, including the fact that the at-fault driver was unable to read or speak English in violation of Federal Law, and had an extensive criminal history which included tax evasion, stolen credit cards, and fraud. After a mediation of this case, our attorneys obtained a confidential settlement for both clients involved in this wreck.

Forklift Accident at Toyota Manufacturing Facility (January 2021)

In March of 2016, our client worked at Toyota Manufacturing’s facility in San Antonio, Texas, when without warning, an employee of the manufacturing facility moved a pallet toward our client with a forklift.

 

Our client’s foot was pinned between two pallets leaving her in agony for a substantial amount of time.  Our client’s foot was significantly disfigured and she was left with multiple torn tendons.  As she was unable to work due to her injuries, the Amaro Law Firm hired an economist to calculate her lost earnings and loss of earning capacity for her future.

 

The defendant’s lawyers attempted to argue that the forklift driver was not an employee of the company, and therefore the company was not liable.  Our firm discovered that the forklift driver was not properly qualified, nor was he properly trained and the company was negligent in giving him access to the forklift.

 

We settled our client’s case at mediation for a confidential and significant amount.

Child injured on unsafe playground equipment (December 2020)

Our client was at a playground with his parents in May of 2018 and was climbing on a formerly water-safe boat that had been reappropriated as playground equipment.  The boat measured over thirty-eight feet long, and the top of the cabin is nine feet off the ground, with a platform of almost five feet atop the cabin.

 

The boat had no signs affixed warning that there was no padding or safety devices on the boat, even as the boat enticed young children to grab the retrofitted handles and play atop the apparatus.  Our client, attempted to jump from the platform atop the cabin, and struck his head on the edge of the boat before his feet hit the ground.  As a result, our client sustained a concussion, fractured nose, fractured cheek bone, and deviated septum.

 

The family sought the Amaro Law Firm’s help, as the playground attempted to argue that it had no responsibility for our client’s severe injuries incurred due to the dangerous condition.  After several months of aggressive negotiation, we were able to convince the insurance company of its client’s responsibility, and achieved a confidential settlement prior to filing a lawsuit.

Commercial Vehicle Accident (December 2020)

Our 18 wheeler accident attorney team resolved a case for a client after over two years of litigation against one of the biggest billion dollar trucking companies in the nation.  Our client was doing repair work in a cherry picker basket underneath a bridge in Plano, Texas when an 18-wheeler violently collided with our client’s work vehicle.

 

Despite two closed lanes of traffic blocked with barricades, police escorts, and construction signage, the truck driver chose to travel in the lane closest to the construction, and struck our defenseless client without warning.  Fortunately, our client was using personal protective equipment, which likely saved his life when the 18-wheeler crashed into the big orange “cherry picker,” and our client was thrown out.  The blow was sudden and severe which caused tragic personal injuries to our client, including a leg amputation and spinal damage.

 

The Amaro Law Firm discovered in litigation that the truck driver responsible was using his personal cell phone to navigate through a work zone, on the freeway, in the dark of night because this billion dollar trucking company did not provide a tractor with a working navigation system.  That same truck driver had an extensive record of moving violations and repeatedly violated company safety policies.  The driver’s employer, one of the largest trucking businesses in the world, failed to train the driver on any safety policies whatsoever.  The major trucking company, through its lawyers hired by the insurance company, denied liability altogether.

 

Our client’s initial attorney dropped his case after the at-fault company denied liability.  Our client did not give up and found our firm to help him online.  Our trucking attorneys took the severely injured man’s case, and through an aggressive litigation strategy brought the case to mediation where the client reached a substantial and confidential settlement.

Cinemark Movie Theatre Injury (December 2020)

In August of 2018, our client was a customer at a movie theatre in Harris County, Texas when he was injured in a fall due to a hazard on stairs.  The recessed floor lighting—the primary function of which was to provide illumination and a demarcation of each step’s location—was not in working order.  The fall resulted in a broken arm and head injury.  Our client, who was a highly functioning scientist, missed time from work and incurred significant travel costs since he could not drive with his head injury per his doctor’s instructions.

 

The theater denied that it had any liability for our client’s injuries, and our litigation attorneys filed suit.  Within six months of aggressive litigation, our attorneys were able to negotiate a substantial settlement that compensated our client for the lost wages, expenses, and medical bills he incurred in addition to his pain and suffering.

Our client was a contractor at a Louisiana paper mill on the date of a tragic and preventable explosion.

 

Two workers were welding on the outside of a chemical tank when a spark ignited the gas that was in the tank, causing the tank to fly through the air.

Our litigation team also found out that no safety equipment or hearing protective equipment had been provided to our client before the explosion.

Truck Wreck: Truck driver injured by other truck driver (April 2020)

Our client, a professional truck driver, was traveling down the highway in his eighteen-wheeler approaching where another eighteen-wheeler was stopped on the shoulder.  Incredibly, the other driver did not notice our client’s vehicle oncoming and pulled away from the shoulder.

Crushed by Gate (settled April 2020)

Our client, a truck driver, was severely injured as he attempted to make a pickup from a food packaging factory.  Our client attempted to enter the property through an automatic metal gate, but he found the gate to be jammed and it would not close behind his truck after he accessed the factory grounds.  Trying to secure the property, our client attempted to slide the 700-pound gate closed, but due to improper design, installation, and maintenance, the gate came off its track and crushed our client.

Our client was found unconscious underneath the gate with blood pooling beneath his head.  Our client sustained severe injuries to his body, including a fractured pelvis, broken teeth, a broken nose, and three fractures to the facial bones of his skull.  He also sustained a traumatic brain injury, the symptoms of which have still not fully resolved.

While our client treated and recovered from his injuries, the Amaro Law Firm worked to attain justice from the fence installation company and the property owner.  Our attorneys discovered that this gate had previously fallen over, and that there were adequate safety measures that could have been installed that simply were not.  As the fencing company and the property owner attempted to point fingers at each other, our attorneys continued advocating for our client.

The Defendants tried to say that our client did not have a brain injury—despite having a 700-pound gate strike him in the head which cause his head to be slammed into the concrete parking lot—and even if he did have a brain injury, that injury had healed.  After a court-ordered neuropsychological examination, our attorneys moved to strike the defendant’s neuropsychological expert on the grounds that his paid-for opinions were unreliable and unfounded.  Our attorneys won that motion and that expert was excluded and his opinions set aside.

After two mediations, the Amaro Law Firm achieved a substantial and confidential settlement for our client on the eve of trial.

Icy Road Roll-Over (settled April 2020)

Our client was involved in a tragic car crash with an 18-wheeler and contacted Amaro Law Firm to help recover from the trucking company.  The night of the accident, our client was driving in the right-hand lane of the roadway when his vehicle began skidding on the icy roads.  He was able to safely pull over onto the shoulder of the highway to prevent himself from skidding further on the road.  While he was safely parked on the shoulder, an 18-wheeler driving down the highway carelessly veered out of his lane and slammed into our client.  Our client’s vehicle was thrown onto its side from the force of the impact and he ended up pinned under the trailer of the 18-wheeler.

 

As a result of the collision, our client sustained injuries to his cervical and lumbar spine, and to both his arms which required over six months of treatment and physical therapy.  Our attorneys were able to settle with the trucking company for a confidential amount to cover our client’s losses that he suffered from the crash.

The Amaro Law Firm had the privilege to represent a family of seven who were injured after an 18-wheeler commercial vehicle sideswiped the family’s vehicle while travelling on the highway. The force of the collision caused all the airbags on the driver’s side of our clients’ vehicle to deploy and forced our clients’ vehicle off the road.

Each of our clients sustained serious injuries in this collision – the driver of our clients’ vehicle was the most severely injured in the collision.  The driver sustained a fracture to her thoracic spine and was hospitalized in the intensive care unit to care for her broken back.

As the driver of the vehicle was unable to work after the collision, our firm hired a vocational and economist expert to evaluate the driver’s ability to work and her loss of earning capacity due to the injuries she sustained in the collision.

After a mediation and extensive work with and through the mediator after mediation, our firm was able to negotiate a settlement for each one of the injured clients in order to compensate for their significant injuries.

Distracted driver causes severe rear-end collision (March 2020)

Our client was traveling north on I-35 in Bell County, Texas, when his Toyota Camry was violently rear-ended by a driver who was not paying attention.

 

As a result of the wreck, our client suffered significant injuries. One of these injuries, to his neck, required a cervical fusion surgery.

 

The insurance company for the at fault driver stalled and delayed the case for years while our injury attorneys fought to get justice for our client.  This fight brought two of our trial lawyers to the Federal courthouse in Waco, Texas in March of 2020, ready for trial right before the Covid epidemic.

 

Our attorneys argued pre-trial motions, and the jury was empaneled in the hallway ready to begin trial. The insurance company increased its settlement offer by six times before we picked the jury and the case was resolved for a confidential amount.

School friend runs stop sign and causes brain injury (January 2020)

Our fourteen year-old client was a front seat passenger in a friend’s SUV on the way to a swimming pool in Denton, Texas. The driver, a sixteen year-old, was unfamiliar with the area and following another friend’s car ahead of her. The driver tried to speed through a stop sign to keep up with her friend. She did not check to see if there were other cars coming from the right. As the driver entered the intersection, a pizza delivery car traveling 50 miles per hour slammed into the passenger side of the car, where our client was sitting. The impact was so severe that the SUV rolled over 180 degrees until it came to rest upright.Our client hit his head on the window and the dashboard of the SUV and was diagnosed with a concussion at the emergency room. He continued having headaches, memory problems, and loss of coordination, and was treated at Texas Children’s Hospital for his concussion which was a mild traumatic brain injury.
Our Dallas car wreck attorneys filed a lawsuit against the sixteen year-old driver and her mother for entrusting a vehicle to her daughter, who proved to be an incompetent driver. After years of litigation, our injury attorneys were able to reach a settlement for our client right before his eighteenth birthday.

Sidewalk Slip-and-Fall (December 2019)

Our client hired the Amaro Law Firm to help secure financial recovery after a severe slip and fall accident.

Our client was on her lunch break at an office campus and taking a walk on a paved sidewalk, which unbeknownst to her, had become overgrown with slippery algae.  The algae was obscured by water leaking onto the sidewalk from an improperly maintained drainage system on the property.  Our client lost her footing and slipped.  As a result, our client sustained multiple injuries, including a traumatic brain injury which, to this day, affects her short term memory, concentration, focus, and general well-being.

The Amaro Law Firm brought a lawsuit against the property owner, the property management company, the landscaping company, and the community development in order to find who was responsible for the dangerous condition that led to our client’s substantial injuries.

Our firm aggressively litigated with a number of defense lawyers, and organized a global mediation where all parties came to negotiate the case. Despite the Defendants’ attempts to blame our client and her employer for the injuries she sustained, we were able to negotiate confidential settlements with each of the Defendants to attain justice for our client.

Parking Lot Death (October 2019)

In January 2017, our client lost her husband in a tragically preventable parking lot accident.  Our client walked to a local shopping center to get a loaf of bread from his family’s favorite bakery one evening and never came home.

 

A tow truck driver was parked in the shopping center’s lot with no reasonable business purpose, and did not see our client’s husband in the poorly lit parking lot.  Since the owners of the shopping center did not have appropriate safety measures for pedestrians, the tow truck driver’s inattention in unsafe lighting conditions contributed to the tow truck driver suddenly running over our client and killing him.

 

The Amaro Law Firm attained a full policy limits settlement from the tow truck company and fought for our client’s family to prove that the owner of the shopping center knew that the parking lot was unsafe and chose not to do anything about it to make it safe for pedestrians.  Our firm was able to negotiate a confidential settlement for our client’s family to recognize their tragic loss.

Eighteen-wheeler Collision (August 2019)

Our twenty-five year old truck driver client was driving in shifts with another commercial driver, and was off-duty and sleeping in the cabin of the truck.  While driving in Georgia, another 18-wheeler flipped on the freeway in front of our client’s truck, and his co-worker was unable to take evasive action to avoid a major collision.

 

Our client was taken to the emergency room.  He sustained a 12 centimeter laceration across his face, trauma to his eyeball, a fractured orbital socket, diplopia (double vision) and a traumatic brain injury.  Ultimately, the severity of our client’s injuries rendered him unable to drive commercial trucks anymore.

 

While our client received treatment through his employer’s worker’s compensation coverage, and the Amaro Law Firm worked to obtain justice from the at-fault parties: the driver of the flipped 18-wheeler and the trucking company that employed him.

 

Our firm partnered with a Georgia attorney to ensure that our client had the best possible representation with attorneys knowledgeable in the local laws.  Together with local counsel, we negotiated a confidential and substantial settlement for our client and made sure he received the medical treatment he needed.

Chartered Bus Accident – Bus Drives off Ravine (July 2019)

Our client, a seventeen year old high school student, was traveling back to Houston from a school trip to Disney World in Florida.  The driver of the charter bus fell asleep at the wheel while the clients were driving through Alabama, and the bus careened off the road and into a ravine.  Our client was among the injured, and sustained  severe lacerations to his back, elbows, knees, severe herniations to his lumbar spine, and a scalping injury that left him with a permanent scar across the entire top of his head.

Our client’s family sought out the Amaro Law Firm’s help to find out what happened and attain justice.  In discovery, our attorneys learned that the bus’s video system malfunctioned and that the students were not shown a mandatory pre-trip safety briefing.  Our attorneys further discovered that the driver of the bus had misrepresented his medical conditions to the charter bus company and did not disclose potentially incapacitating medical conditions.

After attaining a settlement for our minor client at mediation, the Amaro Law Firm also assisted our client’s family in finding an investment management counselor to help set him up for a promising future despite the traumatic injuries he had endured.

Parking lot wrongful death (May 2019)

Our client was tragically run over and killed by an employee at an auto repair shop. The auto repair shop did not have a waiting room large enough to accommodate its customers, and routinely had its customers wait outside the shop lobby, right next to the bay where vehicles were repaired.

There were no ropes, chains, warnings, or barricades which prevented customers from wandering behind vehicles that were being worked on.  Our client was run over by a mechanic backing out of the repair bay after the mechanic failed to ensure his path was clear and failed to announce that he was moving the vehicle.

Our client’s family sought out the Amaro Law Firm to find out what had happened to cause their beloved father and grandfather’s tragically preventable death.  The firm, through a data forensics expert, realized that video footage of the incident had been intentionally deleted by the auto shop.  However, our attorneys worked with the data expert to uncover fragments of video from the business next door to piece together how our client tragically passed.

Our firm brought a lawsuit against the property owner, the property manager, the auto shop, and the mechanic himself individually.

Further, through extensive discovery, our attorneys located a witness to the entire incident that the defendants had attempted to bury in their discovery responses.  After receiving the witness’ statement, we were able to negotiate a substantial confidential settlement with the property owner and manager who knowingly permitted this business to use a sidewalk as a driveway without protecting people using the sidewalk.

Fatal Injury During Car Inspection (June 2019)

In March of 2018, we received a call from the family of a man who was fatally injured while getting his car inspected on the north side of Houston.  Tragically, the man died 3 days later in the hospital from his head injuries that incapacitated him at the scene.  The day after the incident, the employees of the inspection center lied to the family.  They initially claimed that he must have fallen due to some medical conditions and statements like that were made to the paramedics who responded to the scene.  The family wanted answers and turned to us.  After seeking and getting a temporary restraining order not to destroy any digital evidence from the multiple camera systems at the shopping center where the inspection center was located, we hired forensic analysts to inspect the DVRs and other camera systems to determine what cameras were operating.  We also sought records of all the customers at the center to find key witnesses.  Our experts determined that the camera system at the inspection center was operating was recording, and that files were intentionally deleted after the incident.  We also found an eye witness who was waiting outside for his vehicle being serviced in one of the bays that witnessed the incident and aftermath.  He saw his van back out quickly by an employee and strike our client violently, sending him flying into the parking lot.  We learned that the property owner and manager were aware that the inspection center used the sidewalk as a driveway into the vehicle bays and also used the sidewalk as their waiting room in violation of the lease terms.  Everyone knew there were no warnings or barriers to prevent customers from walking down the sidewalk where vehicles could suddenly and without warning back out and hit them before they could move.  The case against the property owner and property manager resolved for a confidential sum.

Commercial Litigation - UV Logistics (May 2019)

Our trial lawyers stepped in to help another law firm from Louisiana prepare and try a commercial litigation case based on breach of contract, fraudulent inducement to contract, tortious interference with contract, and fraudulent inducement to remain in the contract.  The major trucking company UV Logistics, a major oil and gas trucking company, never offered a dime to resolve the claims of our client after terminating his contract without the required 30 days’ notice.  The terminal operator agreement required a 30-day notice to terminate the contract which would have provided our client an opportunity to take his business elsewhere and set up logistic systems.  The claim was based on an independent terminal operating agreement with UV Logistics in the Marcellus Shale region of Pennsylvania.  Our client was used to recruit truck drivers to sign on with UV Logistics who had floundering company owned terminal in the region.  Once the terminal was generating millions of dollars a year in revenue, our client was cut out of the deal so they could earn more profit by cutting his commissions from their margins.  The truck drivers were recruited to change terminals to their company owned terminal and lies were spread about our client to tarnish his reputation in the business.  At trial, the jury returned a verdict in favor of our client for $450,000.00 for past lost profits on a finding of fraudulent inducement to remain in a contract. Client will net this amount minus $180,000 attorneys’s fees & approximately $30,000 in care expenses.

Negligent 18-Wheeler Accident (April 2019)

Our truck wreck attorney team resolved a case for a client after a four-year fight with the insurance company lawyers.  Our client was a backseat passenger in a vehicle that was in a truck wreck with an 18-wheeler that rolled through a stop sign from a side road.  He was coming from an oil and gas patch and entering the highway that our client and his colleagues were traveling.  Because he pulled out suddenly, there was no time to stop before the collision.  Our client suffered PTSD and neck and back injuries as a result of the truck wreck.  His income was impacted by the medical conditions so we hired an expert economist to substantiate the claims.  In litigation, it was discovered the truck driver had a lengthy criminal history and history of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol.  The trucking company was a fly by night operation that would put anyone behind the wheel.  The trucking company owner and truck driver refused to cooperate with their own lawyers hired by the insurance company causing years of delays in litigation.  We pressed on and were able to resolve the claim for a significant and confidential sum.

Unfortunately for our clients, they were in a car wreck with a driver insured by Geico who failed to yield the right of way when he pulled in front of our client from a stop sign near the intersection of the feeder of Highway 99 and Champion Forest Road.  After nearly two years of litigation and stalling tactics by Geico’s insurance lawyers, the claim was resolved for a confidential sum.  Every week, our office gets calls from people injured by negligent drivers insured by Geico because Geico never wants to treat them fairly for their damages caused by the negligent drivers.  We continue to litigate and try case after case against Geico, Allstate, and other carriers which put profit before people on a regular basis.

Team Driving Truck Accident (June 2019)

Our truck driver client from Dallas, Texas was on a team drive in Georgia in 2017.  While asleep in the sleeper birth, his team driver came upon a tractor-trailer in front of him which jackknifed suddenly and flipped onto the highway, thereby blocking the lanes.  The collision at high speeds was inevitable.  After violently colliding with the flipped tractor trailer, our client was thrown from the sleeper birth into the seats and dashboard.  Another tractor trailer behind them narrowly avoided the collision by going off-road.  Our client suffered an ocular fracture, traumatic brain injury, and other neck and back injuries.  Because of the injuries and medical conditions resulting from this wreck, he could not find a job as a truck driver.  A lawsuit was filed in federal court in Georgia to recover his lost earning capacity as a truck driver and damages for his injuries.  Our attorneys worked jointly with colleagues at another law firm in Atlanta to litigate the case.  After nearly a year of litigation against the major U.S. carrier that jack-knifed, the case resolved for a substantial and confidential sum.

Distracted Driver (May 2018)

In May of 2015, our client was a front seat passenger in a Hyundai Sonata driven by the employee of an Austin non-profit for troubled youth.  On their way to run an errand, the driver of the Hyundai became distracted by a navigation application on her phone and pulled across a major road in Austin into the path of an 18-wheeler.  The 18-wheeler was driving too fast for the conditions that night and was likely distracted too as the collision to the passenger side of the vehicle sent it a full city block and the truck was not able to stop after the collision without going off-road.  Our client suffered a traumatic brain injury and neck and back injuries.  The defense, as typical, claimed that the brain injuries symptoms were unrelated to the collision or exacerbated by the collision as there were similar pre-exiting symptoms.  The defense also sought to exploit and shame our client’s prior mental and social conditions before we stepped in to help.  As a result of our legal help in litigation in Travis County Court, we were able to protect our client from further abuse and resolve the claim for a substantial and confidential sum that will provide financial need and protection for life.

Convention Center and Resort Injury (December 2018)

In September of 2015, our client was injured at a major convention center and resort in the Woodlands, Texas.  The lights in a public area were not functioning properly, leaving the public area near the pool very dark.  As a result, our client tripped and fell on a concealed hazard that was too dark to see.  EMS was called and noted the conditions were very dark in their records.  It was so dark that the EMS elected to use nitrous because they could not find an IV in the dark.  They noted obvious deformity in her arm which was later determined to be severely broken.  As in nearly every slip and fall case no matter the evidence, the insurance company denied liability for the incident and forced our client to find a lawyer and file a lawsuit.  The case settled in mediation after lengthy negotiations for a substantial and confidential amount.

Harris County Sheriff Runs Red Light (November 2018)

In May of 2016, our client was in a wreck with a Harris County Sheriff after he ran a red light and made a right-hand turn.  He collided with our client’s vehicle as she crossed the intersection.  The officer’s dashcam recorded the entire incident.  As a result of her significant injuries, our client incurred over $90,000.00 in medical bills.  Because the county is a government entity, any possible recovery in Texas is limited by law.  True to form, the county’s lawyers attempted to negotiate off that cap on recovery to our client’s detriment.  We continued to negotiate in good faith and were able to get the hospital and other medical bills negotiated down to reach a fair settlement considering the caps on recovery.

Injury Caused by Personal Trainer (August 2018)

Our client was at his first personal training experience at a facility in League City, Texas when he suffered nearly fatal injuries.  The gym and its trainers held themselves out as certified and qualified trainers in an extreme and trendy form of exercise.  No physical assessment was performed on our client to determine his ability to do the extreme exercises which included lunges and leg presses with over 200 lbs. of weight.  Despite complaints of extreme pain, the instructor continued to push him and tell him to trust her judgment.  Finally, our client could not continue anymore due to the pain.  He tried to cool down and consumed large amounts of water in an attempt to recover.  The severe pain never stopped and about 3:00 am the next morning, he woke up to urinate.  His urine was brown and caused severe pain when urinating.  He was rushed to ER and diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis, a condition caused when muscle cells rupture en masse and release their contents into the body.  These particles then build up in the kidneys where it can cause permanent kidney damage, renal failure, heart failure, and death.  Our client spent some time in the hospital as a result of these severe injuries.  He contacted us for help after getting the run around from the Defendants who initially claimed they had no insurance and tried to use a “waiver” to avoid liability for their negligence.  It did not work and our client wanted to prevent this from happening to other people.  The case resolved for a confidential sum in litigation.

In April of 2016, our client’s father and husband was tragically killed when he was rear-ended by a tractor-trailer on I-10 west of Junction, Texas.  He was returning to Texas after visiting family in California.  As he was driving Eastbound on I-10 late that night, he was rear-ended violently by an 18-wheeler driven by a sole owner-operator based out of Los Angeles.  The impact was so severe that debris from our client’s SUV smashed the windshield of the tractor-trailer.  His SUV was sent careening across the grass median into oncoming traffic headed westbound on I-10.  He was struck by a minivan and ejected from the vehicle.  The tractor-trailer driver attempted to lie to his insurance company and 911 by claiming that our client’s SUV was stalled on the highway.  However, the evidence did not match their story and we were able to show that he never hit his brakes, he tried to flee the scene, and he lied to emergency responders.  The insurance company tried to claim that the minivan was speeding.  We inspected the minivan, downloaded the black box data, and proved that the minivan was driving within the speed limit.  During an inspection of the 18-wheeler, we discovered evidence which showed that the driver and owner of the tractor-trailer were grossly negligent (e.g., water bottles with urine) and the data from its black box showed the only reason the tractor-trailer pulled over 2 miles later was because of mechanical problems.  The case was resolved for all of the available insurance limits without depositions in less than a year’s time.

Fatal DUI Accident (May 2017)

Our client tragically lost his wife and his wife’s relative in horrible wreck in Tomball, Texas where a young man under the uninfluenced of narcotics was driving recklessly and went into oncoming traffic hitting our client’s SUV head-on.  Our client was the only survivor in the vehicle and suffered severe injuries which required a lengthy hospital stay and months of rehabilitation.  The at-fault driver had nominal insurance policy limits.  Fortunately, our client had underinsured motorist coverage to help his recovery.  Other family members made claims to the insurance he purchased and we undertook negotiations with them with their claims for the loss of their loved ones.  After years of litigation and investigating possible product liability issues with the seatback and airbags, we were able to show the Harris County Sheriff’s department misidentified the passengers in the vehicle and their positions.  We assisted in maximizing recovery for our client by negotiating all of the medical liens against the claims and recovered all the available insurance policies available.

Rear End Accident (May 2017)

Our trial lawyers were called in to try a Houston rear end car wreck case by a colleague from Brazoria County, Texas where the insurance company was making lowball offers and adamant about trying the case thinking the referring attorney would not be prepared.  Our client was C-level HR executive with a major Houston employer.  Abusing the court system funded by taxpayers, the lawyers hired by State Farm insurance try these cases over and over even when liability and damages are clear.  It is a numbers game to them that is driven by profit and greed.  After jury selection and opening statements went in our client’s favor, they gave up and offered nearly double their pre-trial offer to resolve the claim before cross examination of their client began.

Homeowner's Claim Against Insurance Company (February 2017)

Our client reported a claim to Foremost Insurance after a massive hailstorm hit his Fort Worth, TX neighborhood on March 16, 2016 damaging his roof, siding, fence, and leaving water penetration inside his home.  Foremost Insurance sent out a field adjuster to estimate the damages of the property.  A damage estimate was then mailed to the client detailing a loss of $8,790, and after the deductible and depreciation was subtracted, the client received a check in the mail for $6,535.   Upon contacting our firm, the client did not have the means to fully repair the roof, the damaged siding and other issues such as water penetration inside the home.  Foremost was adamant that they processed the claim timely, issued a fair payment to the client and didn’t act in bad faith.  Foremost repeatedly mentioned that this homeowner’s claim is based on an Actual Cash Value policy.  With that, any visible wear and tear to the home devalues recovery from a filed claim.  Unless the property is either brand new, or in pristine condition, Actual Cash Value policies are a determining factor to a client’s recovery.  The firm sent out an independent contractor to review and estimate the actual damages which was sent to the Foremost adjuster accompanying a settlement demand letter.  Citing the ACV policy, and the aforementioned payment already forwarded to the client, Foremost requested a re-inspection of the property to make additional payment considerations of any damages they may have left out of their initial insurance estimate.   After 2 months of diligent, cordial, and progressive negotiation with the adjuster at Foremost, we recovered new money well beyond the original payment.

Incorrect Estimate by Field Adjuster After Hailstorm (February 2017)

Our clients filed a claim with Farmers Insurance after a massive hailstorm hit his Fort Worth, TX neighborhood on March 17, 2016, damaging their roof such that water penetrated inside their home.    Farmers Insurance sent out a field adjuster to estimate the damages.  A copy of the damage estimate of and a check payment of $2,657 was mailed directly to the clients after the deductible and depreciation was subtracted.  Because this payment could not pay for the repairs, they hired Amaro Law Firm and we submitted a demand letter to Farmers with a damage estimate from an independent contractor.  Farmers requested a re-inspection of the property with the independent contractor present to review the actual damages with their own field adjuster.  Farmers was quick to point out this homeowners policy is an Actual Cash Value policy, which means that wear and tear of the property are a factor in determining how much the client is reimbursed for property damage.  Farmers and the firm were able to reach an amicable agreement on a substantial settlement, after 2 months of negotiation.  The clients were able to complete the repairs to their property.

18-Wheeler Wreck on Highway 77 (January 2017)

In January of 2015 in Victoria County, Texas on Highway 77, our clients were in a major wreck with an 18 wheeler.  The 18 wheeler was driving in the fog that morning and the driver did not see our clients coming down the highway before pulling off a side road.  As a result, our clients slammed on their brakes and struck the rear of the trailer.  Our clients were a sweet retired couple traveling travelling to see family with their dog that early morning in a small passenger vehicle which was totaled.  The passenger received bruising all over her body and both of them suffered TBI symptoms after the wreck.  The truck driver, on the other hand, was driving when he likely was fatigued as he had been driving for pay over his federal law limitations that morning.  The trucking company and their insurance lawyers tried to deny fault at first.  Then, they tried to deny that our clients were hurt a bad as they claimed.  In deposition, we discovered that the trucking company was paying their drivers for “personal conveyance” time in payroll records which was not shown in the driver logs.  Also, the data did not match the electronic logs obtained from the electronic logging company, Teletrac, so there were three different stories about how much the truck driver had driven.  What was clear though, the driver should not have pulled out into traffic and cause people to slam on their brakes.  After a few months of litigation, our 18 wheeler wreck lawyers were able to recover a substantial sum to fairly compensate our clients for their injuries.  We also heard the trucking company changed their policies to make sure the drivers logged all of their time they were paid to drive, including time paid for “personal conveyance.”

Truck Driver Rear Ended Accident (December 2016)

In December of 2016, our firm resolved the personal injury claim of a female truck driver who was rear ended by a Toyota Tundra pickup.  The pickup skid approximately 30 feet before slamming into the back of the 18 wheeler.  Based on the amount of milk and cereal on the windshield of the pickup’s windshield, it was apparent that the driver was distracted by the bowl of cereal he brought along to eat on the drive to work that morning.  As a result of the hard impact, our client suffered aggravation to her lower back which required invasive surgical procedures prescribed by her treating physicians.  The defense hired by Farmers Insurance was focused on the lack of any significant damages to the back of the 18 wheeler’s trailer although their client’s truck was completely destroyed.  Failing to understand the basic physics concepts, they hired a well-known engineer who has made a career working for insurance companies to opine that the “delta-v” of the pickup truck was too small to cause any injuries to the trucker.  However, in his deposition, he could not show the math in how he calculated delta-v or show the values he used in his calculations.  Because he could not show his math and because he based his opinions on just photographs, the judge prohibited him from testifying without showing the math.  Farmers Insurance tendered the policy limits before trial.

The day before trial in November of 2016, Allstate Insurance’s lawyers decided to do the right thing and pay for all of our clients’ damages resulting from a car wreck off I-45 in Houston, Texas.  Our clients were driving north on a feeder road to I-45 when Defendant, a driver in her mid-80s, suddenly moved from a dead stop in the center lane across all the lanes of traffic towards a James Coney Island entrance.  Our clients tried to veer out of the way but struck her vehicle.  They suffered whiplash injuries and Allstate’s lawyers denied everything as usual until we discovered that the reason their insured made such a dangerous lane change was because had cataracts and glaucoma.  They denied and then delayed resolution of the claims until the very last minute.  In the end, they paid what was fair to our clients.

Windstorm Damage Insurance Claim (November 2016)

After an agent of Met Lloyds inspected our client’s property, the insurance company refused to tender payment for full damages owed to our client under the policy by claiming the damages were not caused by a covered loss, in this case, windstorm damage.  Our client retained the services of an engineer to establish for Met Lloyds that the damages sustained were caused by the high wind, a covered loss.  Instead of hiring its own engineer, Met Lloyds and its adjuster simply restated its denial under the policy.  Met Lloyds investigation was outcome-oriented and its failure to retain an engineer to investigate the claim conclusively shows that Met Lloyds’ and its agent failed to properly investigate this claim.  Subsequent to the inspection, Met Lloyds and its agent issued a damage estimate that failed to fully quantify and explain the damage done to the structures located on the property, thus demonstrating that they did not conduct a thorough and fair investigation of the premises.  Met Lloyds’ agent attributed the damage to the pool, wooden fence and the decorative fence were caused by water damage and/or earth movement, both of which may be excluded events under the client’s policy.  The agent also chose to ignore that the client’s next neighbor’s wind damage claim for their playhouse, which was adjacent to clients’ fence, was covered by their insurance company (Traveler’s).   In fact, at least one of the shingles was embedded in clients’ fence indicating the significantly high wind speeds and wind damage caused in the area.  Rather than employ the services of an engineer to fully investigate the cause of this windstorm damage, Met Lloyds simply found exclusionary language by which it intended to deny the claim.  Met Lloyds and its agent failed to fairly evaluate and adjust our client’s claim as they are obligated to do under the terms of the policy and Texas law.  By failing to properly investigate the claim and by issuing a full denial of coverage, Met Lloyds and its agent engaged in unfair settlement practices by misrepresenting material facts to our client, such as the true cause of their loss.  Met Lloyds and its agent also failed to provide our client a reasonable explanation as to why they were not compensating our client’s covered losses.  A lawsuit was filed, and the case was settled before trial.

Pedestrian Struck By Vehicle Leaving Luxury Car Dealership (November 2016)

Our single mother client was walking on a sidewalk in front of a major luxury car dealership with her teenage daughter when she was violently struck by a luxury SUV exiting the dealership.  The driver claims he didn’t see her walking down the sidewalk before pulling out of the driveway although he admitted there were no visual obstructions.  Our client was violently knocked to the ground after the SUV pinned her foot under a tire and then struck her with the corner of the SUV.  Without authorization, the employees of the car dealership then videotaped our client as she sat on the ground and received medical attention from paramedics.  Our client suffered painful low back disc injuries and received extensive medical care over several months to recover.  The insurance adjuster would not admit liability without our client providing a “recorded statement” and taunted her to file a lawsuit.  The adjuster bragged that they had “fantastic lawyers” to defend them.  Needless to say, the lawyers were not “fantastic” by any stretch of the imagination.  Instead, they were bullies and could not follow the basic rules of litigation which required the judge to step in to enforce the rules.  After a few months of litigation, the car dealer’s lawyers came to their senses and requested mediation.  At mediation in November of 2016, the case was resolved for a confidential sum which made our client very happy.

TBI Lawsuit Against a Major Auto Dealership (April 2016)

In April of 2016, our brain injury lawyers resolved a lawsuit against a major auto dealership arising from their dealer trade driver who inexplicably went into oncoming traffic causing catastrophic injuries to our client such as traumatic brain injury.  Both lanes of traffic on this highway had speed limits of 60 mph.  The dealership’s driver was in a Jeep Wrangler and our client was on her way to work in a full sized pickup truck.  Our client’s airbags deployed when she was hit head on but she struck her head hard enough to be knocked unconscious.  The other driver was able to crawl out of the jeep but had an altered mental status according to witnesses.  Both were taken to the hospital.  Our client remained in the hospital for over a month because she suffered multiple fractures and internal injuries.  A metal rod was placed in her leg and she was forced to use a walker for nearly a year even though she was only 27 and healed quickly.  The car dealership hired two law firms to defend them and the driver.  It was learned in litigation that the car dealership did little to make sure they only put safe drivers on the road.  Essentially, they just made sure elderly drivers they hired to drive sometimes over 10 hours a day had a driver’s license and a pulse.  They provided no training and did no health checks on these drivers they paid only $8/hour.  Instead of owning up to their mistake, they spend over $100,000.00 on doctors to try and claim that our client’s brain injury healed.  The judge saw right through their nonsense and struck one of their experts and limited the testimony of the brain surgeon they hired from Methodist Hospital.  Both of these experts are notorious experts who make millions of dollars to falsely claim that people “healed” from their brain injuries without peer reviewed literature to support their opinions.  They abuse the privileges of their medical licenses and associations with prestigious medical facilities such as Methodist Hospital for millions of dollars in compensation.  The brain injury lawyer team assembled by Amaro Law Firm put an end to their years of wrongful conduct by showing the court the extent of their deceit.  Shortly before trial and after a full day mediation, the parties agreed to a confidential structured settlement which provided the compensation necessary to take care of our client’s needs for life.

Michael Graham, of the Woodlands, Texas to testify on the stand that our client’s claimed injuries were not claimed by the wreck and were a result of degenerative conditions (despite all the medical records before the wreck indicating our client was asymptomatic in his back).  He was thoroughly cross examined live and the jury did not consider his biased testimony to be credible regarding our client’s injured claimed in trial.

In short, he never should have been on the road in the first place. The trucking company endangered the public when they chose to keep letting him drive for them despite the known dangers. Shortly before trial, the trucking company’s insurance company finally conceded liability for the truck company’s decision to keep this dangerous driver and settled the case for the maximum insurance limits available.

One misty night in Katy, Texas on Kingsland Blvd., Mr. Blevins was traveling to pick up his teenage son to pick up his son to go see a movie. As he was driving down Kingsland, he came upon a slow moving vehicle in the left lane which appeared to be lost, distracted, or slowing down to make a turn. As he looked over his shoulder to make sure he was clear to move over, he suddenly struck a large 26,000 pound Skytrak vehicle moving less than 15 mph on the road. There was no notice by way of lighting or “construction work” signs. Because it was partial frontal impact on the front of his vehicle, the cabin of the suburban was breached on the driver’s side of his vehicle and the vehicle spun around the Skytrak. The Skytrak did not move from the impact. Mr. Blevins suffered severe fractures to his legs which required multiple surgeries, including internal fixation, debridement, and vacuum pumps due to recurring staph infections. Although the doctors advised amputation was necessary, Mr. Blevins kept on fighting and had a bone graft procedure which prevented the requirement of amputation of his left knee down.

At trial, the Defendants Winco Masonry and their operator Alejandro Sanchez refused to admit any responsibility for negligently using the Skytrak off the job site on a dark rainy road without any warnings to the public such as signs, flashers, or escorts. The general contractor, Pepper Lawson Construction, also refused to accept any responsibility for allowing their subcontractors from running amuck on the public roads at night in the rain.

The jury did not buy their unremorseful, unapologetic, and conflicted arguments proffered by their go-to attorney Michael Winchester and returned a verdict in Mr. Blevin’s favor. However, the verdict was not enough as the jury was persuaded to reduce their verdict due to improper closing arguments which were prohibited by the Court in pre-trial arguments. In short, Mr. Winchester argued that Mr. Blevins was intoxicated and speeding before he rear ended their vehicle. Now, the verdict is being appealed so that Mr. Blevins may receive the full justice he is entitled to receive under the letter of the law.

Acid Burn on Job Site (August 2014)

Our client was on the first day of his job as a hand on a well site in east Texas. He was asked to help clean the mud pit. However, no one told him it had caustic acids in the pit before he got in it. The acids burned through his boots and began to burn the skin on his legs causing severe pain and scarring. He was able to crawl out and asked for help. Instead of proper medical attention, the supervisor poured vinegar on his burns which caused even more pain and caused him to lose feeling in his legs. Our client found an attorney who referred his case to our firm since we handle work injuries in the oil and gas business.

Major Auto Accident on Highway (May 2014)

The Amaro Law Firm represented a client in Brazoria County, Texas that was involved in a major auto accident on March 10, 2013 at or near the intersection of State Highway 35 and FM 524. On the date of incident, the traffic signal at the intersection was not operating due to a power outage. Accordingly, TXDOT had placed stop signs in each direction at the intersection. Suddenly and without warning, a vehicle driven by Defendant on State Highway 35 failed to stop at the stop sign and violently collided into our client at a speed greater than 50 mph. The property damages were major and both vehicles were totaled. At the time of incident, it was discovered that Defendant did not possess a valid driver’s license nor did he own the car that he was driving. Rather, the vehicle was owned by another person, who was riding in the passenger seat at the time of incident. Based upon witness statements, it was proven that both of them reeked of the smell of marijuana. Once the police arrived to the scene, the other driver and his passenger decided to add insult to injury by making blatantly false statements to the police. One man first asserted to law enforcement that he was not driving the vehicle, but rather it was the owner of the vehicle. The cops, however, noticed that the driver had a bloody nose and facial injuries which directly matched a bloody face print on the interior windshield on the driver’s side. That is, the driver’s face smashed against the windshield because he was not wearing a seatbelt. The passenger, on the other hand, escaped the collision injury free. Realizing that law enforcement was did not believe story #1, they then claimed that they had the “green light” at the intersection. If they would have fact checked their lies before blurting out the same to the police (or were not under the influence of drugs), then they would have realized that it was impossible for them to have the green light because the intersection had no power. The case settled for every penny available under all of the insurance policies without a lawsuit being filed.

AC Company Truck Rear Ends Client (January 2014)

The car wreck lawyers at the Amaro Law Firm tried a car wreck case to verdict in Travis County, Texas. Prior to trial, the insurance company’s lawyers had offered only $1,500.00 to settle their client’s claims for back and neck injuries resulting from a rear end accident. Our client was involved in a car wreck on Mopac Expressway in Austin, Texas in November of 2008 after an AC company dropped a piece of AC equipment in the middle of the freeway, causing an emergency situation.

Verdict - Civil Dispute (November 2013)

In a small county court trial, the trial lawyers at the Amaro Law Firm represented the tenant in a landlord-tenant dispute. The case against landlords John Beddow and Tina Beddow was tried a to verdict. The jury found in favor of our client and awarded him compensation for the landlord’s wrongful acts, including the landlord’s withholding of money from the tenant’s security deposit to which they were not entitled.

The landlords claimed that they relied upon the representation of their lawyer, Faisal Shah. Mr. Shah testified that he never physically saw the damages and that he did not itemize all of the damages the landlords claimed in his alleged accounting of the deposit, as required by the Texas Property Code.

The jury examined evidence that included photographs of the residence’s poor condition before it was rented, testimony on how the landlords regularly kept other tenants’ deposits, and documents showing the landlords’ lack of response to basic tenant maintenance requests.

The landlords even paid their property manager, James D. Owens of the Houston Heights, Texas, $1,000.00 to testify for them. They also paid another witness to testify that some drapes suffered “heat damages.” On cross examination, Mr. Owens offered unsupportable and impeachable testimony based on his supposed experience as a property manager. Mr. Owens testified about the expensive charges he believed to be reasonable for patching “nail holes” and removing a “satellite dish”, even though he said the property was left in good and clean condition after the walk-through at the end of the lease.

The court entered a judgment on the verdict which also included pre-judgment interest and court costs. The Beddows retaliated against our client for standing up for his rights by filing a counter-suit. Their counter-suit requested over $50,000.00 in attorneys’ fees and a few hundred dollars in “extra” damages over the security deposit.

The jury disagreed with the Beddows and found that our client did not breach the lease agreement. The jury awarded the landlords zero dollars. The Beddows’ lawyer, James Bradley, also represented them in three other lawsuits they filed arising from another real estate deal. Mr. Bradley filed a motion for new trial and a motion to disregard the jury’s findings against his clients. Despite Mr. Bradley’s apparent efforts to save face with his clients in a losing cause, the Court denied their motions after oral argument, after which the Beddows quickly settled for nearly the entire judgment amount. In an ironic twist, the amount of the judgment was higher than the two offers our client made to settle his case before the verdict was rendered.

The Defendants in this case were a multi-national company that hired drivers to service residential and commercial customers. In the car wreck, our client was an innocent front seat passenger in a small vehicle parked at a red light when the Defendants’ large work van blew through a red light at a high rate of speed and caused a multi-vehicle wreck. The Defendants’ vehicle hit one vehicle in the intersection before hitting our client head on and pushing her vehicle into other vehicles at the red light behind her. The collision was so violent that our client’s legs and knees were badly crushed and broken inside the vehicle, rendering her unable to walk and dependent on a wheelchair for the foreseeable future as she continues therapy and medical treatment.

Our client had over $226,000.00 in past medical bills and past lost wages of over $62,000.00 paid by worker’s compensation which had to be repaid out of the settlement funds pursuant to the lien worker’s compensation carriers have on third party recoveries. Worker’s compensation plans do not pay full rate on lost wages as the law allows the compensation to be capped. Thus, our client was forced by Defendants to live on less income even when her expenses has increased due to her immobile condition.

The attorneys at the Amaro Law Firm wasted no time in filing the lawsuit within a few weeks of our client being released home from medical care and a rehabilitation facility in which she spent over 3 months. In litigation, the Defendants did everything they could to conceal evidence which showed that their driver was over an hour late to an appointment, that they hired a driver without checking his driving records which showed over 26 traffic violations, and cell phone record which indicated their driver may have been using a cell phone when he ran a red light. In depositions, the Defendants’ corporate representatives folded under pressure and admitted they were grossly negligent in hiring and retaining an unsafe driver. Exhibiting a complete lack of responsibility, Defendants’ driver had not even bothered to take care of the ticket for running the red light in this case which hurt many people. The Amaro Law Firm attorneys pushed hard and the court heard many motions to compel Defendants to produce the evidence they unsuccessfully tried to hide. The Amaro Law Firm pushed even harder for a trial setting to get our clients justice as quickly as possible.

Client netted $1,384,369.10 after attorneys’ fees of $960,000.00 and legal expenses of $55,630.41.
