If you or a loved one was injured in a vehicle crash, slip and fall, job-site or retail mishap, dog attack, or sexual assault, you need an attorney who will work hard to maximize your compensation. Our lawyers always investigate alternative possibilities for recovery, including third-party negligence, defective products, and business-owner liability. Even though we are able to successfully settle most of our cases for top dollar, we prepare every case for trial just in case we are not satisfied with how negotiations are going. You cannot expect this kind of dedication from a big law firm.
How Do We Do it?
So, how are we able to get better results than our competitors? It starts with our willingness to work hard. Other firms work on volume and use armies of claims adjusters to settle your case over the phone with the insurance company. If a claim gets stuck and goes to trial, the lawyer often sees the file for the first time on the day of the trial. We don’t work like that at Samples Ames PLLC. We tailor our approach to each case we get, applying our technical expertise in the law to every situation in order to maximize the results. We know how cases are won and have managed to help clients that other law firms have turned down.
Accidents do happen, but more often than not, what we call an accident is actually not accidental at all. For example, when someone runs a red light, texts while driving, or gets behind the wheel after having a few beers and causes a crash—it was no accident. At Samples Ames PLLC, we take this distinction very seriously. If another party acted in a negligent or willful manner and you were injured as a result, you have the right to pursue that party for compensation and we are here to help you do just that.
What Makes a Personal Injury Claim
In order to have a viable personal injury claim in Texas, the following must be true:
- You have suffered injuries. These can be physical, mental, or emotional injuries caused by a fall, vehicle crash, assault, or any other mishap. This also includes economic injuries, from unpaid medical bills to an inability to earn a living.
- Someone else caused these injuries. If you are the only one at fault in the cause of your own injuries, you do not have a claim. However, if you did nothing wrong and were injured because someone else acted negligently, carelessly, or willfully, you may have a case.
- The at-fault party has the ability to pay. You can’t get blood from a stone, as they say. If the person who caused your injuries has no insurance and no personal assets, you will not be able to get anything from them. However, most people have automotive and homeowner’s insurance. Commercial vehicles and places of business often have large insurance policies. Our personal injury attorneys will negotiate with the at-fault party’s insurers, or take them to court if necessary to get you the settlement you deserve.
The team at Samples Ames PLLC will pursue every avenue of compensation on your behalf. When you work with us, you can rest assured that we will fight for you.
