$1,096,000 Auto Accident Settlement

Attorneys Erin Rogiers, Caleb Rackley, and Jessica Peisen along with their team received a settlement for $1,096,000 for an automobile collision that left a young client injured, requiring surgery to his back.

Our client was lawfully entering an intersection with the right of way, when another driver, working and driving a company truck, recklessly ran a red light, crashing into our client’s vehicle. This careless act resulted in severe injuries, requiring over two years of medical treatment and surgery.

The at-fault driver’s employer failed to provide any driving training whatsoever to their driver and showed no accountability—allowing the driver back on the road without any discipline on the same day of the crash.

This was not a case easily won. In response to the defendant’s lack of cooperation, our team went before the Court to successfully challenge their attempt to withhold critical evidence. We fought to make sure that all necessary information came to light.

Ultimately our team’s refusal to back down resulted in a successful settlement with Defendants and their insurance company agreeing. It was thanks to the countless hours and hard work our team dedicated to helping our client that they are now able to begin their road to recovery. Great work, team!

Six Figure Rideshare Settlement

Rideshares call for passengers to put their trust in drivers they have never met before in the hopes that they will arrive at their destination safely, but unfortunately, that does not always happen.

Our client, a combat veteran, was seriously injured in a collision while driving to work when a rideshare driver made an unprotected left turn in front of him, resulting in a T-bone impact. The crash aggravated our client’s pre-existing neck, back, and knee injuries, necessitating surgery and rendering him unable to perform his job duties.

Our attorneys Jorge Mares and Lance Kimbro were called into action to help this veteran. With the help of their team, they immediately began working to ensure that justice would be delivered. They created iron-clad arguments with unmovable foundations to help bring a settlement to our client for the very high six figures.

It is an honor to assist those who have served in the military. Their sacrifices on behalf of those of us at home are immense, and they deserve safety and security when they return. We are proud to have helped our client achieve the justice they deserve. Great job, team!

Seven Figure Product Liability Settlement

When our attorneys help our clients, they immerse themselves and fiercely advocate for justice, and for the past four years, Attorney Erin Rogiers has been fighting.

Erin is one of our product liability expert attorneys who has had extensive experience with proven results. The dedication she applied to this case is proof that her expertise was a key component of the family receiving justice.

Our client purchased a UTV from a local motorsports store for their family to enjoy together. At the store employees’ suggestion, the standard-issue seatbelt was replaced with a four-point racing harness. No instruction or warning about the harness of any kind was provided. They were driving the UTV, attempted to cross through a stream, and it became stuck in a puddle causing it to sink. Due to its complicated design and lack of any instruction, warning, or training, their ten-year-old son was unable to escape from the racing harness and, unfortunately, drowned.

Erin along with Attorneys, Mike Murray and Bailey VanNatta, as well as their team, put their heart and soul into this case to advocate for this family. They worked endlessly to ensure they had ironclad arguments and immovable evidence to help the family obtain justice for something they should not have ever experienced in the first place. Finally, after four long years, justice was delivered, and the defendants settled the case for a seven-figure settlement.

Through unyielding perseverance and unmatched work ethic, our attorneys were able to help the family begin their road to recovery. Although nothing will ever come close to replacing the life that should not have been lost, we are proud we were trusted to help hold the proper people accountable. We are so proud of everyone who helped our clients on this case, great job team!

What is Fraud?

Fraud is a tort and is generally conceptualized as a lie someone tells another in order to profit of the deception. Fraud was recognized by the judges of the old and has been defined by case law ever since its recognition. Grounded in this tradition, Texas has established its definitions and elements of fraud through case law.

Seven Figure Auto Accident Settlement

What do you do when the power goes out for traffic lights at an intersection? According to the Texas Transportation Code, the intersection is to revert to a four-way stop meaning that the first car to arrive has the right of way. If two cars arrive at the same time, the car on the left lets the car on the right go first.

Attorneys Rebecca Page and Bailey VanNatta along with their team dove deep into their legal research and built a strong case for our client who was involved in an accident when an intersection’s traffic lights were out. Their relentless work ethic and methodology for exploring every aspect of law was rewarded when they were able to settle with the defense for a high six-figure settlement for their client.

Finding an attorney after an accident who is not afraid to put in the work to ensure their client’s interests are upheld can be stressful. Attorneys like Rebecca and Bailey eliminate that stress because they do not back down from a challenge and are always ready to go to battle to help their client. Their diligent work helped this case efficiently move through the legal system so that their client was able to quickly obtain the justice they deserved. Keep fighting the good fight, team!
