Posted on May 16, 2024December 12, 2024 by Schuyler Donaldson

Partner, Jorge Mares is a consistent player in the personal injury world and sets the tone when it comes to resolving high stakes cases. It is common to see Jorge and his team settle numerous high stake cases in the same week. In fact, recently, Jorge settled not one, not two, but three cases in the same week – two of them six-figure settlements and one seven-figure settlement.

He started off settling a trucking crash case with Attorney, Julie Matsen, for a multiple SIX FIGURE recovery for a surgical recommendation case.

His second settlement was for another trucking crash case where Attorneys, Travis Headley and Sommer Hazel, assisted him in settling a very controversial multiparty dispute for a high SIX FIGURE recovery.

But that is not all, Jorge, joined by Travis Headley and Kelsey Abbey, worked diligently to help his clients put a devastating crash behind them by resolving their case for an astounding SEVEN FIGURE recovery.

These results for Jorge’s clients are a true testament to his work ethic and dedication to his clients. He has helped numerous individuals recover what they deserve in their pursuit of justice. His results exhibit exactly why he is not only one of the best at Guerra LLP, but also in the personal injury world.

Oilfield Accident Settlement

Posted on October 11, 2023December 12, 2024 by Schuyler Donaldson

Texas is the top crude oil-producing state in the US as of 2022 with 42.5% of the country’s production. This industry is inherently dangerous and has, on average, well over 100 accidents each year according to the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement.

Our client was assembling an oil rig under the direction of the company’s employees when he tragically fell into an open ‘cellar’ – a hole approximately 10 feet deep under the oil well itself – due to negligent guidance and lack of safety precautions. Despite being a contracted employee, the company who hired him was held liable for our client’s injuries.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The settlement underscores our firm’s relentless pursuit to hold negligent contractors accountable when they fail to ensure a safe working environment. Their negligence in not covering the open cellar, a basic industry practice, led to this unfortunate accident.

Attorney Lance Kimbro and the rest of the team, worked tirelessly to achieve this settlement that provides our client and his family the compensation and closure they rightfully deserve.

Great job team and keep on fighting the good fight!

Trucking Accident Settlement

Posted on September 6, 2023December 12, 2024 by Schuyler Donaldson

Neglecting to maintain 18-wheelers and train drivers can have catastrophic results. While traveling up a hill, an 18-wheeler driver lost power to his tractor-trailer. Rather than pulling over, the driver decided to reverse his vehicle down a hill. To make matters worse, the driver backed his trailer in such a way that it blocked the oncoming lane of traffic. Our client was a passenger in another tractor-trailer that crested the hill and could not avoid colliding with the trailer obstructing their lane of travel. The resulting high-impact crash caused our client significant, debilitating injuries.

Through our team’s dedication, it was uncovered that both the tractor and trailer were in violation of safety standards, and the brakes on both were not properly maintained. Additionally, the defendant driver’s employer had not properly trained the driver on emergency maneuvers when power and brakes fail.

Our attorneys Jennifer Neal and Chloe Shrode along with their team ensured these companies were unable to escape their lack of diligence and held them accountable. After turning over every stone for this out-of-state accident that occurred in Georgia, our client received a settlement to aid her with the aftermath of these debilitating injuries. Way to be diligent, team!

Distracted Trucking Driver Accident Settlement

Posted on August 25, 2023December 12, 2024 by Schuyler Donaldson

Our client, a 24-year-old young woman, was traveling northbound on Highway 281 when a tractor-trailer driven by a distracted driver drove through an intersection with the highway without stopping or yielding. This lack of caution, unfortunately, resulted in the tragic death of a young woman who had a bright future ahead of her.

Attorneys Shalimar Wallis and Kelsey Abbey along with their team came to the aid of the client’s family to help them achieve justice in a situation that should never have happened. Their unrelenting tactics resulted in the case settling and although that does not replace the life that was lost, it helped hold the proper party accountable for this tragic occurrence.

We are proud and thankful to have an unwavering team that arises to any challenge in the pursuit of justice and steps in immediately when justice needs to be delivered. Great job, team!

$2 Million Workplace Accident Settlement

Posted on August 16, 2023December 12, 2024 by Schuyler Donaldson

While working in a closet, our client stepped on a piece of foam that was covering a hole in the top floor causing him to fall through to the bottom story. The previous crew that was working in the closet had removed an A/C return unit and failed to properly provide a warning about the hole in the floor. In fact, all they did was cover it with that piece of foam which gave off the impression there was not a hole in the floor.

Our attorneys Jorge Mares, Ana Diaz, and Oscar Quiroz along with their team helped our client obtain the justice they deserved after they sustained life-altering injuries to their head, neck, back, shoulder, and elbows. Our team helped prove that the previous crew was negligent in their actions and in doing so, created a dangerous condition for our client. At the end of the day, the defense had only one choice but to settle and award our client the entire $2,000,000.00 that their client had. We are so happy that we could be there for our client and help him after such an unfortunate, but preventable, incident. Great job, team!

Remember, injuries can happen anywhere, even professionals cut corners. If you’re hurt at a job site, please make sure you hire attorneys that know how to maximize your recovery!
