Testimonials

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Our client was driving home from work as a professional driver when another driver turned left directly in front of our client. Our client, who had the right of way, was unable to stop. The vehicles collided and spun off the road, coming to rest on the curb.

At the scene, the other driver admitted to our client that she was not supposed to be driving because she had recently suffered a stroke.

As a result of the wreck, our client suffered significant back injuries that requires a series of epidural steroid injections and a spinal fusion surgeon.

Our car wreck attorney team recovered a full policy limits settlement from the other driver’s insurance company. Then, our injury lawyers were above to recover a confidential settlement from her underinsured motorist coverage.

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.

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.

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.

Our clients were traveling in a Ford F250 on Highway 290 when they approached a tractor-trailer parking on the right-hand shoulder of the highway.  Suddenly and without warning, the tractor-trailer pulled across the highway to enter a private driveway right in the path of travel of our clients.  Our clients’ vehicle was sent careening into a ditch and the tractor-trailer came to a rest in the roadway.  Brenham, Texas police responded to the scene.  The insurance company for the trucking company attempted to place blame on our clients and deny compensation to them for their medical bills incurred as a result of the 18-wheeler accident for neck and back injuries.  After filing the lawsuit and litigating the case, the parties were able to reach an amicable resolution and confidential settlement for their injuries.

Our client was a customer at an AMF bowling alley in Desoto, Texas when he was injured in a fall due to a slip hazard on stairs from loose material.  The fall resulted in an injury which required surgical repair.  AMF, through its lawyers hired by the insurance company, denied liability and our client hired us to make things right.  After approximately a year of litigation, the parties were able to amicably reach a settlement that is confidential.

As a result of a slippery substance on the ground, our minor client slipped and hit her head on the hard ground inside a San Antonio big box retail store with stores across the world.  Our client’s child suffered traumatic injury symptoms.  Not having resources to have her child evaluated, our client sought legal help as the insurance company lawyers for the big box retailer denied liability for the incident.  We helped our client get the medical attention her daughter needed.  The lawsuit was filed in Bexar County, Texas and removed to Federal Court.  The case resolved for a confidential sum in Federal Court.

Our mesothelioma lawyers helped a citizen of Chile recover a substantial confidential sum against multiple companies in the Los Angeles area with the assistance of another firm that handles mesothelioma cases.  In the 1970s, our client worked at a shipyard where he was exposed to asbestos on a daily basis.  Protective masks were provided for his use but they did not provide the protection from asbestos fibers represented and their use was not enforced at the worksite.  Mesothelioma has a long latency period and our client was diagnosed decades later by his doctors in Chile.  Our team flew him into Houston for medical treatment and examination.  After nearly two years of litigation and with a trial looming in Los Angeles, the defendants offered a substantial and confidential sum to resolve the claims made against them.

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.

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.

In January of 2016, our client, a delivery driver for Pepsi, was unloading product for a cooler at a RaceTrac in Tarrant County, Texas when without warning, an employee of the gas station flung the heavy freezer door open while our client was bent over on the other side loading product in the freezer.  He was struck in the head by the heavy freezer door by an employee of the gas station.  The blow was sudden and violent which caused traumatic brain injury symptoms to our client.  Our client sought medical treatment for his brain injuries.  After suit was filed, the insurance company hired lawyers to defend the case.  The case went to mediation after litigation ensued.  An amicable settlement was reached in mediation.

In August of 2017, our client from Sugar Land, Texas was driving a tractor trailer near Las Cruces, New Mexico when another vehicle, a commercial pickup truck, veered into his lane from the opposite direction.  Our client attempted to avoid the collision by moving onto the shoulder but the other truck just kept coming at him and ultimately hitting him.  Our client’s tractor trailer went off the highway into the ditch and rolled over at a high rate of speed.  Witnesses talked to the other driver and he stated he fell asleep.  Our client suffered severe injuries as a result of the wreck.  The insurance company lawyers requested a pre-lawsuit mediation.  The parties were able to resolve the case in mediation for a confidential and substantial sum.

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.

In August of 2016, our client was driving along Boulevard26 in North Richland Hills, Texas when a Toyota Tundra ran a red light in front of him.  That driver was cited for running the red light and for no driver’s license.  Our client initially had hired another law firm to help him on his case but his calls to the office were unreturned so he fired them.  He found us online and we jumped into action to help him.  After preparing his case and collecting relevant evidence, we initiated negotiations with Hallmark Insurance to compensate him for his full and complete damages.  Finally, we were able to obtain a fair settlement for our client and thereafter sought reductions of his medical bills.

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.

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.

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.

While in the course and scope of his work at a “sweatshop” on the west side of Houston, our client suffered an amputation injury.  He lost a finger in an unguarded gear on a machine he was attempting to clean as ordered by his supervisor.  OSHA visited the facility and the company was fined for multiple OSHA violations.  Our client, who only spoke Chinese, was not provided any personal protective equipment or safety training or instructions at his job.  He was paid nearly minimum wage and exploited by his employer.  The employer did not carry worker’s compensation and our client was rendered unemployable without the full use of his hands.  He turned to us for help after being referred by his daughter.  After numerous battles and threats of bankruptcy by the employer, we were able to get him a fair and just confidential settlement in mediation.  The employer then got worker’s compensation insurance and liability insurance to protect them from future liability.

In December of 2016, our client was delivering groceries to a tenant at Bradford Pointe Apartments in Austin, Texas.  While walking on the property, our client violently fell due to a collapsing and uneven step in an unlit area of the apartment complex which was absent of any warnings to the public of the dangerous hazard.  As a result of the fall, our client incurred nearly $30,000.00 in past medical bills and $6,000.00 in lost wages.  She needed surgery to repair her ankle.  Because the insurance company completely refused to make any offer and denied liability, a lawsuit was filed.  After months in litigation, the case settled for a confidential and substantial amount.

Another attorney in Texas contacted us about his major car wreck in which his truck rolled several times at 70 mph after being clipped by a reckless driver that was weaving in and out of traffic.  Our client suffered a concussion and neck and back injuries in the wreck.  For months, he suffered from post-concussion syndrome.  The reckless driver’s insurance company tendered their policy limits immediately.  Unfortunately for our client, he had Geico underinsurance motorist coverage.  To no surprise, Geico insurance refused to do the right thing and fairly evaluate the claim.  Litigation ensured against the at fault driver as Texas law requires a “judicial finding” that the damages exceed the amount of the policy limits.  After nearly two years of litigation, the case against Geico was finally resolved for a confidential sum

In October of 2016, our client was driving on Cesar Chavez in Austin, Texas when a vehicle in front of him driven by a couple of teenagers suddenly turned towards their right, then attempted to make a u-turn to head towards our client.  Our client was injured in the wreck after attempting to avoid the collision and had burns to his hands and arms from the airbags.  Farmers insurance tried to lowball our client.  After litigation and mediation, the case resolved for over 20 times the offer from Farmers insurance.

In July of 2017, our client was on his way to meet some friends at a game store.  Our client was a disabled individual who used a wheelchair to access public spaces.  After he parked in the designated area for disabled parking and safely transferred himself into his wheelchair, he exited his vehicle onto the designated platform.  As he approached the game store, he encountered a ramp and began to descend.  Unfortunately, the ramp was not ADA compliant.  As a result, our client’s wheelchair gained speed and lost control in the descent until it flipped over and on top of him.   As a result, our client suffered severe injuries to his arm and shoulder which further disabled him and required further accommodations to his daily life in a wheelchair.  The insurance company did not take our client seriously so he hired us to help him.  After months of negotiating and collecting the necessary evidence, we were able to resolve his claim for a confidential and significant sum without filing a lawsuit.

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.

While in the course and scope of his job duties at a major food distribution company, our client was injured when the manual pallet jack he was working with malfunctioned, pushing him back against the lift-gate and causing him to fall backwards while his left and foot were stuck.  He suffered a horrible ankle fracture as a result of the incident.  A lawsuit was filed in June of 2017 and after a year of litigation, we were able to reach a confidential and substantial settlement agreement with the employer which included waiver of any subrogation rights for the past medical liens they incurred as part of his employ benefit plan and separate compensation for his pain and suffering.

Our car wreck trial lawyers tried a rear-end case in Harris County, Texas where the insurance companies refused to make a fair a reasonable offer to resolve the claims against their insureds.  Our client was rear-ended by a passenger vehicle which was rear-ended by another SUV.  Before trial, the passenger vehicle’s insurance company settled for a fair amount.  The other carrier for the SUV, Geico Insurance, again put their interests before the interests of their insured who was dragged into trial to play their games with our legal system funded by taxpayers.  After mediation, Geico rejected the mediator’s proposal and took their chances at trial hoping for a discount.  As a result of their claims handling procedure, their insured has a judgment against him in the public record while the insurance company’s lawyers benefitted from Geico’s deny and delay tactics.

Another law firm from Arizona referred us a client who was in a major car wreck in Houston, Texas in February of 2017.  The at-fault driver made an unsafe lane change in front of her and she was not able to stop.  The insurance company denied liability because our client rear-ended their insured.  They refused to believe the eye-witness who corroborated our client’s story and refused to make a reasonable or fair offer to resolve the claim of our client who incurred over $20,000.00 in medical bills as a result of her shoulder, neck, and back injuries.  Once in litigation, the insurance company decided to try and make a settlement offer.  After several months of fighting with the insurance adjuster, we were able to reach a settlement for more than two times their “final” offer.

In September of 2014, our client was involved in a pileup on Highway 59 in Houston, Texas which started with an 18-wheeler rear-ending an SUV.  That SUV was hit so hard that it went flying into our client, causing our client to hit the vehicle in front of him.  As a result, our client was “pancaked” in between two vehicles and suffered multiple impact forces to his body.  Our client’s injuries included neck and back disc herniations which required surgery.  His past medical bills were nearly $100,000.00.  It was discovered the truck driver was using a cell phone excessively in litigation in Harris County, Texas.  It was also discovered his tires were bald and that he poorly maintained the tractor.  The case settled for a substantial and confidential sum after mediation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Our client filed a claim with Anchor Insurance after receiving damage to her San Antonio home from a hailstorm on April 12, 2016.  The damages included her roof, broken windows, broken roof turbins and damage to a shed in her backyard.  The Amaro Law Firm sent an independent contractor estimate to the client along with a settlement demand letter.  Anchor Insurance responded with a payment of $6,296 to settle the claim.  After careful dialogue with our client, she admitted that the recovery would not repair her home.  We cordially worked with Anchor Insurance and agreed to pre-litigation mediation 4 days before Christmas.  At mediation, our firm successfully negotiated a settlement that greatly exceeded the client’s expectation.

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.”

In February of 2016, our client was hit head on by a drunk driver on Westheimer in Houston, Texas.  The drunk driver was arrested but he did not have much in insurance.  She was taken by ambulance to St. Joseph’s Hospital.  As a result of the wreck, she incurred substantial medical bills.  Our personal injury lawyers negotiated down her medical bills and were able to settle the case free of medical liens.

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.

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.

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.

In February of 2015, our husband-wife clients and their two children were hit by a Toyota Sequoia that ran a red light in Houston, Texas.  The impact was so violent that it sent our client’s Lexus SUV spinning into a light pole.  All four members of the family were taken to the hospital.  The father required shoulder surgery, left arthroscopic, at the hospital.  The mother broke her arm.  Both of the parents received extensive medical treatment over several months’ time.  The young children also were injured and treated and Texas Children’s Hospital.  Defendant had USAA Insurance and our clients had Liberty Mutual Insurance.  After months of negotiations with the insurance companies and the medical providers, our car wreck legal team was able to resolve the claims for full value.

In October of 2016, a Harris County jury returned a verdict in favor of our client who was broadsided by a woman in the museum district of Houston, Texas.  Our client was a young attorney who was on his way to pick up his son for baseball practice.  As he went through an intersection, a car driven by the Defendant came out of nowhere and struck him.  Both vehicles were totaled.  He suffered painful disc bulges to the cervical portion of his spine.  He feared needles and did not like taking medicine so did not get the epidural steroid injections suggested by his treating physicians.  Before he hired the Houston personal injury lawyers, he attempted to handle the case himself.  However, Allstate insurance and their in-house lawyers treated him unfairly and took advantage of his lack of personal injury law.  Fortunately, a neighbor of our client referred him to our firm and were able to get him the justice her deserved in a one day trial in Houston.

In December of 2015, our client was a victim of a violent car wreck in Mount Pleasant in Titus County, Texas when he was rear ended by Mercedes SUV at a high rate of speed.  Although our client refused to be taken by ambulance to the hospital, our client’s injuries were quite severe which he discovered when he later sought medical treatment.  He suffered multiple disc protrusions in his cervical and lumbar regions, and his medical bills were costly.  Fortunately, the defendant was insured, and the car wreck lawyers at Amaro Law Firm were able to negotiate a fair settlement.

In September of 2014, our client was severely injured in a violent car wreck in San Antonio, Texas on Loop 1604.  Here, the at-fault 20-year old driver was “looking down” when traffic came to a stop and she was not able to stop before rear ending our client at a high rate of speed which caused him to be pushed into the vehicle in front of him.  As a result of the wreck, our client incurred significant medical bills.  We took over the file from another firm and helped the client recover from the at fault driver and on his underinsured motorist claim (UIM).  The car wreck lawyer team at the Amaro Law Firm then negotiated down the medical bills to make sure all medical liens were paid and released.

Our client was driving a Freightliner tractor on the feeder road of E Sam Houston Tollway at US 90 when a car traveling on US Highway 90 ran a red light and struck the front end of the tractor trailer.  The impact caused our client’s tractor trailer to veer off the road and flip over.  The other driver was found at fault.  His insurance company tendered all of the insurance limits.  Our client was in the course and scope of his duties at work and it was discovered that his employer misrepresented to him that he had worker’s compensation coverage.  Instead, the employer had forced him to pay premiums for an occupational benefit plan that provided much less coverage that worker’s compensation.  After lengthy legal battles with the benefit plan and employer, the parties were able to resolve our client’s claims in December of 2016.

In August of 2016, our firm resolved a large UIM claim against Amica Insurance.  Our client was referred by another law firm to assist with her claims against another driver and Amica Insurance arising from a November 2015 car wreck near the intersection of Barker Cypress and Highway 290 in Houston, Texas.  The at-fault driver, for whatever reason, tried to make a U-turn all the way from the right lane and our client collided with him.  She was traveling with her daughter at the time and pregnant.  Our Houston personal injury lawyers resolved the claim in only a few months.

Allstate and its agent denied payment on a hail claim that damaged our client’s property.  At the initial inspection, Allstate’s agent did not even get on the roof to assess the damage, and failed to inspect other damaged portions of the property.  Allstate and its agent told our client that there was no hail damage and concluded that there was no recovery for repair.  Our client refused to accept this decision and requested a re-inspection of the property.  Allstate used the same agent but this time accompanied by a representative from a claims service.  Allstate’s agent went on to the roof at the re-inspection where damage was indeed found and reported.  However, Allstate and its agent stated the damage was our client’s doing and accused our client of fraud.  Allstate, again, completely denied the claim but this time cancelling the client’s policy before its expiration, and left our client uninsured based upon fraudulent and inaccurate statements by Allstate and its adjusters.  The claim was litigated and settled via mediation giving the client the means to replace his roof.

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.

Our client injured her lower back in a wreck on Williams Trace Boulevard in Sugarland, Texas in September of 2015 when a car ran a red light and struck her vehicle at a high rate of speed.  She was taken by ambulance to St. Luke’s in Sugarland.  According to an MRI, she suffered a disc protrusion at L5-S1 and a 2 mm right paracentral protrusion at C7-T1.  Our client was young small business owner whose pain interfered with her daily living and ability to work long hours.  Our client’s pain never went away and she sought help finding a new medical provider who could give her the medical attention she needed.  She also was not happy with the legal representation she had with another law firm.  She came to our firm and we were able to correct the course of action for her legal representation and her medical treatment.  She received treatment from a well-regarded medical provider on Highway 6 in Sugarland who performed laser therapy and lumbar decompression therapy on her lower back injuries.  She also consulted with a well-known orthopedic surgeon in the Texas Medical Center about her options for surgery before becoming better through the treatment she received with our help.  After she finished her treatment, we were able to resolve her claim for the policy limits which were not the minimum in Texas.

In March of 2015, our husband and wife clients were t-boned by a Dodge Ram truck in Houston, Texas.  Although the at fault driver admitted to running a red light, his insurance company did not want to accept full responsibility for the damages to our client.  His insurance company, American Alternative Insurance Company, finally did the right thing and paid fair compensation after months of fighting which satisfied our clients.

In February of 2016, the personal injury lawyers at Amaro Law Firm resolved a substantial electrocution injury case shortly before trial against a general contractor and one of the state’s largest commercial property management companies.  Our client was an electrician asked to inspect a build-out electrical job which did not pass the City of Houston’s inspection.  The project received a red tag due to improper grounding of the gutter box behind the shopping center.  The copper from the ground wire was apparently stolen and not guarded.  The general contractor on the build out requested that our client who worked for a subcontractor find out what it would take to pass inspection.  Without notifying the property manager or owner, the general contractor asked our client to go behind the shopping center and open the gutter box.  Shortly after opening the box, it exploded causing significant injuries to our client such from the arc.  Those injuries included second and third degree burns to his face and arms.  He also suffered nerve damage to his forearm.  Fortunately, his employer had worker’s compensation which covered most of the medical care.  However, worker’s compensation does not pay for all of our client’s damages so he hired Amaro Law Firm to help him.  After nearly 2 years of litigation in which the property manager’s own electrician testified against them, the parties were able to reach an amicable resolution which fairly compensated our client.  The settlement was confidential.

Our client was a retired corporate lawyer who worked at a major Texas law firm.  In October of 2011, she was driving near the medical center when a careless driver turned in front of her and failed to yield the right of way, thereby causing a serious wreck which required months of medical treatment.  The at-fault driver attempted to blame our client for driving too fast and made excuses that the curve in the road prevented him from seeing our client, but he finally conceded fault in his deposition.  Although our client was a lawyer, these type of cases require the expertise of experienced personal injury attorneys who know the tricks of insurance defense attorneys.  Here, her lack of legal knowledge in this area was taken advantage of by the other lawyer.  Fortunately, she came to us in time and we were able to resolve her claim for a fair and reasonable sum.

A large and national fitness club chain employed babysitters as an added benefit to their gym in order to entice members with children to join their club and pay monthly membership dues.  The gym employed young and untrained individuals to run the so-called daycare.  They did not prohibit cell phone use although they were responsible for watching several children of all ages, including toddlers, like the toddler of our client whose arm was broken while in their care.  The employees claimed they were not aware of an injury to the toddler when the parents returned from the hospital and demanded to see a video of what happened.  The gym told them they would have to talk to the lawyers.  So they did.  They called us and we were able to discover what happened after requesting the court to order the gym to turn over the video of the daycare at the gym.  Shortly after, the case settled for a confidential sum.

As a result of a December 2014 wreck whereby a drunk driver failed to yield the right of way when he crossed Highway 90 near the Grand Parkway in Fort Bend County Texas in front of our client on a Harley Davidson motorcycle, the Amaro Law Firm was called for help to hold the responsible party accountable for the harm he caused.  Our client refused to be taken to the hospital after the wreck and sought medical treatment later when the paid did not go away.  After receiving medical treatment that helped him, we were able to resolve his claim for all of the available insurance policy limits of State Farm Insurance.

In April of 2015, our clients suffered serious hail storm damages to their roof in Katy, Texas.  The insurance company denied the claim, asserting that the damages were not hail related and/or were pre-existing.  Although most of the other houses in the neighborhood were getting new roofs, the insurance company stood their ground.  Our clients knew of our experience handling first party claims such as claims from Hurricane Ike, where Mr. Amaro and his tea took the first case to trial and obtained a substantial verdict.  In mediation, the insurance company finally agreed to pay a fair amount to our clients so that they could fully repair their roof and also pay our firm for its services.  In Texas, attorneys’ fees are recoverable from an insurance company who acts in bad faith in claims handling.

In November of 2011, our client was rear ended by another car on Ella Boulevard.  The impact was so severe that it sent our client’s car off the road into a tree.  The defendant claimed that our client had changed lanes in front of her and that caused her to rear end our client.  The story did not add up as the defendant also claimed my client was driving faster than her in depositions.  Also, the cell phone records showed that the defendant was up late on her cell phone until 3 am and this wreck happened early in the morning.  Literally the night before trial was to start, the Allstate insurance lawyers finally agreed to settle for a fair and reasonable sum.

Our trucking lawyer team tried an 18 wheeler accident case to verdict.  In this case, our truck driver client from Houston, Texas was rear ended by another 18 wheeler in Mississippi.  The other truck driver drove for a major 18 wheeler company.  The other driver must have been going fast and fell asleep at the wheel as he struck our client hard enough to total both vehicles while our client’s vehicle was moving.  It was a foggy morning and the truck wreck occurred on a country highway.  The other driver passed unfortunately as a result of a fire that broke out in his cab as he was trapped din the vehicle and our client was unable to get him out in time.  Our client’s eat broke off inside the cab causing our client to suffered injuries all over his body.  Our client was represented by another law firm in Houston and terminated them shortly before trial.  With less than 30 days before trial and no continuance granted by the court, our trucking lawyers walked into court and received a verdict in favor of our client which compensated him for all of his medical bills and the pain and suffering he endured as a result of the wreck.  This case is notable because no depositions were taken before trial due to the court not granting a continuance and the prior law firm conducting no depositions.  The defense called an expert orthopedic, Dr. J. 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.

The night before trial, Allstate’s lawyers called the Amaro Law Firm to settle this lawsuit arising from a wreck where a woman rear ended our client in north Houston. Both vehicles were moving, but the Defendant tried to blame our client by claiming she cut her off. However, her story did not add up and the Amaro Law Firm was able to punch large holes in her story so that the other side realized their exposure at trial. Although the Amaro Law Firm preferred to try the case, it is ultimately up to the client to accept or reject offers based upon our legal evaluation. Here, the client opted to settled and not take the risk of trial after weighing the pros and cons of the risks in a jury trial.

After nearly two years of litigation with Allstate in a case where a woman ran a red light and broadsided our client, they finally agreed to pay for her medical bills and other damages as result of this wreck. It was not until the deposition of the Defendant that Allstate finally changed their tune and offered fair and just compensation to settle the claims. Although the Defendant ran a red light and paid for the ticket, she refused to admit she was at fault for the wreck since she “tried to stop.”

In Dimmit County, four men were traveling on a rural road when an 18 wheeler decided to ignore a stop sign from a side road from an oil gas field and pull in front of them. The driver was unable to stop in time before hitting the 18 wheeler. The men all suffered neck and back injuries in the wreck. A few of the men suffered herniated discs in their backs which required epidural steroid injections (ESIs). At first, the trucking company denied full responsibility, arguing they had enough time to stop and should have been paying better attention. However, the Amaro Law Firm’s investigation determined the truck driver should never have been on the road in the first place as he had multiple DWI’s and other criminal offenses. A lawsuit was filed and a settlement was reach quickly thereafter. The settlement was enough to cover all of their medical bills and included compensation for pain and suffering and physical impairment they suffered and continue to suffer.

Two teenage boys were passengers in their friend’s car on a dark and rainy night in the country outside of Houston. The driver ran a stop sign and subsequently struck an 18 wheeler. The two passengers were tragically were killed in the wreck and their families sought the help of the Amaro Law Firm to find out what happened and how the wreck could have been prevented. In sum, how the wreck happened did not make sense because the truck driver claimed he never saw the car coming at a high rate of speed even though you can see for a long distance. If he did see keep a proper lookout as he was supposed to under the trucking training he had, he would have had time could have hit the brakes and prevent the wreck. The truck driver failed to take any preventative measures before impact. Subsequently, it was discovered that the truck driver was under the influence of alcohol, had multiple health issues that he never disclosed to the medical examiner who provided him his medical qualifications, and had multiple moving violations, wrecks, and health issues that made him a danger to others on the road. 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.

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. After years of litigation, the Amaro Law Firm was able to prove that the Defendants failed to properly train and supervise their workers of hazards on the job and also failed to warn of dangers they should have known about.

Our client’s son was a passenger in a day care van when the van was in a severe wreck. Their son suffered major facial injuries which left a permanent scar on his face. As a result, a lawsuit was filed to recover compensation for his injuries. The insurance companies tried to point fingers at each other to avoid liability. However, the lawsuit settled for the maximum amount available under the insurance policies. A guardian ad litem was appointed by the court so that the settlement of his claim could recover interest until he turns 18.

The Amaro Law Firm represented a doctor and his wife for extensive damages to their home from a hailstorm in Amarillo, Texas. The insurance company offered a meager sum of money to resolve their claim. The home was high valued and had a special tile roof. The entire neighborhood received new roofs, but our client’s insurance company did not want to pay for all of the damages to the roof, drywall, fence, and stucco siding. The Amaro Law Firm quickly filed suit for our clients and mediation was conducted soon thereafter. However, the insurance company still did not want to pay for all of the damages. After more litigation for a couple more months, the lawsuit was settled for several times the amount the insurance company offered these clients before we were hired. The clients were still able to get all of their damages repaired after attorneys’ fees and expenses.

Our client was hit head-on by a wrong way driver in Fort Bend County. The third party insurance company refused to pay for the full medical bills. After hiring the Amaro Law Firm, our client was able to recover for her injuries and medical bills.

The Amaro Law Firm tried a car wreck case in Harris County, Texas where a woman denied that she ran a red light before broadsiding our client. The trial was a he said/she said case. Our client suffered neck and back injuries in the wreck. After a 2 day trial, the jury sided without our client finding the Defendant was in a rush to work and ran the red light.

Our client was working as a truck driver one morning when he came upon a vehicle which unexpectedly slammed on his brakes on Highway 46 south of Houston. Our client was able to come to a safe stop without striking the vehicle because he had a safe following distance and was keeping a proper lookout. However, the 18 wheeler behind him did not do the same. As a result, the 18 wheeler rear clipped the back of his trailer and caused tremendous damages to both vehicles.

Our clients had damages to their home as a result of a hailstorm in Amarillo, Texas. The insurance company refused to pay them just and fair compensation to repair their home. The clients found the Amaro Law Firm. We hired our own adjuster to evaluate the damages and then filed suit immediately and brought the insurance company to reason within a few months to pay full and fair compensation for the clients’ damages so they could repair their home. The compensation was enough to repair the home after attorneys’ fees and expenses.

Our client’s husband was involved in a tragic 18 wheeler accident in Mississippi when his front tire blew out without any warning. He was operating an 18 wheeler transporting gravel. The blow out caused him to lose control and careen off the road into a tree. The tractor trailer exploded. A good samaritan was able to pull him from the vehicle. However, the burns and injuries were severe. Our client’s husband survived multiple painful surgeries before succumbing to them weeks later. The tires were retrieved and examined which showed they were defective. The case settled for a confidential sum.

Our client safely pulled into an intersection while in the course and scope of his job after stopping at a stop sign. However, another vehicle approaching the stop sign at the intersection did not follow the law and struck our client with great speed. As a result, our client lost time off work due to his neck and back injuries. After months of medical treatment and a lawsuit being filed, the Amaro Law Firm was able to settle his claim for a sum which covered all of his medical bills and expenses as well as compensation for his pain and suffering and impairment.

Our client was traveling on Ranger Hill Road south of Fort Worth on rainy afternoon when she came upon an a18 wheeler which had jackknifed on the road. The 18 wheeler completely blocked the highway. She safely came to a stop behind the 18 wheeler. A few seconds later, another 18 wheeler came around the corner at a speed way too high for a wet and curvy road. This second 18 wheeler never even applied his brakes before slamming into the rear of her vehicle and crushing it between his vehicle and the other 18 wheeler. The Amaro Law Firm was hired within days and immediately took steps to preserve the evidence so the trucks could be inspected. In the inspections, it was determined that the second 18 wheeler driver had drug paraphernalia in his cabin. The data was downloaded off the truck and the speed and brake data showed he never hit his brakes and was exceeding the speed limit. Shortly thereafter, the case settled for a substantial sum which paid for the client’s medical bills for her neck and back injuries, pain and suffering, and the severe mental anguish she suffered as a result of the wreck.

Our two clients were sitting a red light when a SUV suddenly and violently rear ended them. The client suffered neck and back injuries. Although the Defendant admitted he was not paying attention until it was too late, Allstate insurance company still tried to low ball our clients. As almost always with Allstate, a lawsuit had to be filed and litigated almost to trial before they finally caved and paid what they should have paid our clients in the first place. Our clients were able to resolve their lawsuit and get all of their damages paid.

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.

Our client was referred by a family member who we had represented in a trial. This client was in a car wreck in Beaumont, Texas where another vehicle rear ended him at a high rate of speed for no reason. Both vehicles were moving before the collision. The wreck was severe and caused significant injuries to our client when his vehicle was knocked off the highway. The insurance company for the Defendant was State Farm and they refused to accept full responsibility. As a result of the work by the Amaro Law Firm, the client received a settlement which covered all of his damages and injuries.

The trial lawyers at the Amaro Law Firm agreed to a commercial motor vehicle accident settlement that occurred on Memorial Drive in Houston, Texas, for a confidential sum. A construction vehicle known as a “Bobcat” pulled onto Memorial Drive without any spotters, flagmen, or barricades to warn passing motorists. Our client was unable to see the Bobcat until the last second, when the vehicle in front of her quickly changed lanes to avoid colliding with the slow-moving Bobcat. As a result, our client suffered severe injuries. The attorneys at the Amaro Law Firm were able to help her obtain fair compensation in the accident settlement before filing suit.

Our Houston trial lawyers were able to our client get a settlement for a car accident in Brazoria County that occurred at an intersection without functioning traffic signals. Workers erected temporary stop signs at the intersection. However, a driver disregarded the stop sign and broadsided our client. The accident caused severe injuries to his neck, back, and leg. Our legal team resolved the claims for full insurance policy limits in a quick and efficient manner. The client used the accident settlement funds to pay for his medical bills and received compensation for his injuries with the balance.

The truck wreck lawyer team at the Amaro Law Firm was able to swiftly resolve a severely injured client’s case prior to a lawsuit being filed. Our client was a backseat passenger in a vehicle being driven by his friend and was asleep in the backseat when his friend pulled into oncoming traffic, thinking a commercial landscaping company truck was going to turn. The truck broadsided our client’s vehicle and severely injured his spine causing him to spend nearly two months in the hospital. Unfortunately, there was minimal insurance available and the landscaping company disputed liability. However, the effective representation of the legal team at the Amaro Law Firm was able to resolve the case for a sum which would provide for resolution of all hospital and insurance liens, continued medical treatment, and a trust for future economic needs.

After more than one year of litigation, the trial lawyers at the Amaro Law Firm were able to resolve a car wreck case and reach an accident settlement for the total insurance policy limits. In this case, the insurance company hired lawyers to deny that insurance coverage should apply to the wreck because the driver was not “named” in the insurance policy. The driver actually fled the scene of the accident and was later found and arrested for DWI. The lawyers were able to demonstrate that the owner of the vehicle negligently entrusted the vehicle insured under his policy to the driver who had previous wrecks where he fled the scene and was arrested for DWI.

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.

As it clearly was dangerous in the way the AC equipment was being hauled in the back of the truck, another AC company truck was following in case the AC unit fell out of the first truck. The AC company trucks stopped after the unit fell out and our client was able to stop without hitting anyone. However, another driver was not able to stop without hitting our client. The impact was so hard that his vehicle was totaled and pushed into the AC truck.

The other driver settled prior to trial but the AC company refused to make a reasonable offer. The jury awarded our client a verdict in his favor.

The Amaro Law Firm attorneys represented several clients regarding property damages they suffered from a pipeline explosion in their neighborhood. Our legal team and experts worked for several years to prove that the pipeline caused the damages to their homes.

The trial lawyers at the Amaro Law Firm tried a commercial dispute case between two former business partners. One partner incorporated a new business and allegedly stole his other company’s business to the detriment of his “partner.” After a three week trial, the jury agreed and found the defendant partner liable for his wrongful conduct.

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 insurance lawyers at the Amaro Law Firm helped our client recover a substantial sum from a car accident settlement in Laredo, Texas. The client’s worker’s compensation insurance carrier wanted to keep all of the money for medical bills they had paid on her behalf.

The Amaro Law Firm trial lawyers achieved a substantial car accident settlement in which two of our clients were clipped by another car that failed to yield the right away and pulled in front of them.

The cases each settled for a considerable and confidential sum.

The trial lawyers at the Amaro Law Firm represented a pedestrian who was struck by a vehicle in Downtown Houston. The driver claimed she was blinded by the sun and thought the light was green.

Although the insurance company had only offered a low ball sum at first, the client had all of the hospital and medical bills covered through the settlement and received compensation for her pain and suffering.

This case was referred to the truck wreck attorneys at the Amaro Law Firm from a law firm in Sugar Land, Texas.  In a very unfortunate 18 wheeler accident, our client was a front seat passenger in a vehicle which was broadsided by an 18 wheeler on Highway 59 outside of Rosenberg, Texas.  The attorneys working on the case were able to quickly investigate the facts, interview witnesses, thoroughly research the truck driver and trucking company’s safety and driving histories, and secure other relevant evidence before it was destroyed.  Fortunately, the opposing counsel and the trucking company wanted to avoid litigation and a lengthy lawsuit so they opted for an early mediation at which time they offered a substantial settlement subject to strict confidentiality of the terms and details of the settlement.

October 2012. $126,698.00 actual damages from verdict after a trial in Harris County on a premises liability lawsuit. Defendants never offered anything to Plaintiff before trial. Plaintiff was employed as a nanny for over 6 years when she fell down a staircase without a handrail. Plaintiff sustained a comminuted fracture near the top of the humerus of her dominant right arm. The injuries required surgery and resulted in permanent impairment to her right arm. Plaintiff sued the Defendants for premises liability, alleging that the staircase was made of polished wood with no carpeting or handrail, creating an unreasonably dangerous condition and causing her fall. The Defendants denied premises liability and that the stairs were unreasonably dangerous without a handrail.

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.

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 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.

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.

In December of 2010, our client was in a collision with another driver who pulled into her path of travel. The vehicles were towed from the scene of the wreck and the other driver was cited for failure to yield right of way.

Fortunately, the client was suspicious and requested our firm to review the language in the release. It was determined that the release only promised to pay whatever this insurance company unilaterally deemed to be “reasonable and necessary” medical bills resulting from the car accident up to the amount they offered. After hiring our team, our car accident lawyers in Houston were able to make sure our client received just and fair compensation for her injuries and to make sure all of the medical bills were paid.

The insurance company hired an engineer who wrote a report stating that the home had foundation problems and standing water under the home which caused the door jams and the interior damages as opposed to the shifting of the home from water intrusion and vibrations from the wind. After hiring our firm, we were able to recover compensation which assisted the client in repairing his home.
