We will leverage our experience in aggressively fighting for the settlement you deserve. These are some of the settlements our attorneys have recently won:
The defendant, driving an 18-wheeler, was driving 65 mph in rain and sleet with his cruise control on when he hit a disabled vehicle. Our client’s teenage daughter was a passenger in that disabled vehicle. Tragically, the impact killed this young, promising college student. The law requires truck drivers to reduce their speed in adverse weather, and industry standards make clear that commercial drivers should not use cruise control in adverse weather.
Our client was traveling on I-20 in Midland, Texas. Traffic ahead slowed, and our client came to a stop. The defendant driver, operating a utility truck for a medical supply company, was distracted by his cell phone and rear-ended our client at 72 mph. The force of the impact caused a catastrophic three-vehicle wreck, and our client's vehicle flipped, landing on its roof. Additional investigation revealed the driver had a history of driving over the posted speed limit while on the job. The company, which monitored the utility truck via GPS, knew or should have known its employee habitually sped while on the job—driving all over West Texas and Eastern New Mexico. Our client sustained a traumatic brain injury with a large scalp laceration and injuries to his neck, back, and shoulders. Our client underwent multiple spinal injections and surgery on both shoulders.
Our client was traveling on the highway, and traffic was slowing to a stop. Our client was rear-ended by a tractor trailer that failed to control its speed. The impact pushed our client's vehicle into the vehicle in front of them. Our client suffered neck, back, and head injuries.
Our client was a passenger in a vehicle that rear-ended another vehicle. Our client suffered a fractured neck, resulting in emergency surgery. During recovery, our client's head and neck were immobilized in a halo brace for four months post-surgery.
Our client was traveling on Northwest Highway 12 when the defendant, driving a Ferrari, made an unsafe lane change across three lanes and struck her car. The impact caused our client's car to spin uncontrollably. Following the wreck, she was transported via ambulance to the hospital, where she underwent back surgery. Subsequent surgeries followed, including low-back surgery and neck surgery. The long recovery and the trauma from the event were overwhelming, and our client developed depression and anxiety.
In the early morning hours, our client's vehicle had a flat tire. She was traveling on the highway, so she safely moved to the far-right lane, reducing her speed as she attempted to pull over. Suddenly, an 18-wheeler ran into the back of our client's vehicle. The investigation showed that there was no attempt to brake. The wreck destroyed the back end of our client's vehicle. Shortly after the wreck, our client developed a brain bleed, which led to permanent cognitive issues and ongoing impaired function on the right side of her body.
Our client was driving south on US-75 near Spring Valley in Dallas when a box truck driver failed to control his speed and rear-ended her vehicle. The defendant claimed he was not negligent because a car ahead of him moved out of the way at the last minute, which did not allow the defendant enough time and notice to prevent the wreck. Our client sustained injuries to her neck and back, which required multiple spinal injections.
The defendant ran a red light and crashed into our client, who had the right of way. Our client sustained significant neck and shoulder injuries.
Our client was driving for Uber when another driver ran a red light and struck the front of his vehicle. The passengers in our client's vehicle left the scene in another Uber. Our client left the scene and did not seek care at the emergency room. When he finally received proper care, he required a neck and a low back surgery. His pain and injuries prevented him from working the hours he previously worked, reducing his income and creating a financial hardship.
The driver of a commercial truck was driving 65 mph in the right lane of I-35. There was heavy rain, and he should have reduced his speed by a third, given the hazardous road conditions. The truck driver either began to change lanes when unsafe or experienced trailer sway due to his speed and weather conditions. He left his lane and made contact with our client’s vehicle, sending our client into a concrete divider and out of control across the highway. Our client had many pre-existing medical conditions. Unfortunately, the client's injuries were so severe she required a two-level neck fusion and lived with ongoing increased pain in her low back and shoulder before we got to trial. The insurance company for the trucking company offered $25,000 at mediation and offered a top-off of $75,000 after three years of litigation. The client’s medical bills totaled approximately $400,000. Shelly Greco and Victor Rodriguez tried a week-long trial against the out-of-state motor carrier in Tarrant County, Texas. The insurance carrier ultimately tendered its $1M policy limit to resolve the case on the eve of closing arguments.
Our client was traveling on northbound I-35 when traffic stopped, causing our client to stop as well. The commercial pickup driver towing a trailer failed to control his speed and rear-ended our client at a high rate of speed, causing our client to hit the vehicle in front of her. Our client required neck surgery to resolve her pain and injuries.
Our client, who was pregnant, was at a stop sign on Greenville Avenue when a commercial van rear-ended her. The trauma and injuries from the wreck provoked an early labor and delivery. In the months following the wreck and early delivery of her child, our client struggled to recover from her injuries while caring for a newborn. She eventually required several spinal injections.
Our attorneys are always willing to go the extra mile for our clients. In these settlements, our attorneys fought for our clients to get them a higher amount that the policy limit in their cases. We’re not afraid to fight the insurance companies to make sure our clients get everything they deserve.
Our client was on Northwest Highway, waiting to turn right into a restaurant. The defendant, who was weaving and speeding in traffic while not paying attention, rear-ended our client.
Our client was the second vehicle in a four-car wreck. She required shoulder surgery, and her surgeon recommended a full shoulder arthroplasty. The defendant hired a biomechanical expert and a doctor to give the opinion that our client's shoulder injury could not have been caused by the wreck. The insurance company paid $25,000 over the policy limits without having to go to trial.
Our client was a passenger in the vehicle that was sideswiped. The defendant contested liability, blaming a phantom vehicle that suddenly swerved in our client’s lane. Unfortunately, our client required neck surgery as a result of this collision. Germania claimed the neck surgery was not needed and refused to pay for it. As such, we tried the case. The jury put 100% liability on the defendant driver and compensated our client for all of her medical bills—including the neck surgery—plus pain and suffering.
The defendant struck our client, a police officer, as she was directing traffic. She injured her lower back and hip. The liability insurer denied there was an injury but ultimately paid twice the policy coverage amount.
According to the police report, our client was turning left on a blinking yellow light, and the defendant ran a red light. However, the police report erroneously placed our client at fault. After reviewing the body cam footage, it was unclear why the officer who wrote the report placed any fault on our client. Witnesses at the scene stated the defendant had intentionally run the previous red light, weaving around traffic before striking our client at the next intersection. The defendant even admitted to looking down at his cell phone while entering the intersection. The body cam footage and evidence collected by our Rapid Response Team were crucial in proving our client's case.
The defendant failed to yield to oncoming traffic when turning left. Our client, who was driving straight through the intersection, was hit.
The defendant was stopped at a red light, in a turn-only lane next to our client. Rather than turn left as required, the defendant made an unsafe lane change in order to go straight and crashed into the driver’s side of our client’s vehicle. Our client injured her neck in the collision and ultimately underwent surgery because of her injuries. Before filing suit, State Farm rejected our offer to settle for its policy limits. That left our client no choice but to file suit, which resulted in State Farm paying more than five times its policy limits.
Our client pulled into the intersection and was waiting to turn left when the defendant crossed multiple lanes of traffic and struck our client's vehicle while she was in the protected turn area. The defendant was speeding and collided with our client's driver's side area.

Our client was driving on McKinney Avenue in Denton when the defendant pulled out of his apartment complex, striking the driver's side of our client's vehicle. The defendant blamed our client for not having her headlights on because it was overcast. Our client went to the hospital complaining of hip pain, and she developed neck and back pain over the next few days. Unfortunately, our client was in a second wreck just three days later. The defense counsel argued that her injuries were not related because she did not complain about her neck or back at the hospital. Our client continued to treat her pain with pain medication. The insurance company offered $12,000 before trial, and the final verdict was $68,000.
Our client was traveling south on I-635 in Mesquite when he slowed for traffic due to another wreck ahead. The defendant didn’t believe that our client needed to stop when he did and blamed him for the wreck. Our client received several lower back injections to treat his persistent back pain. The insurance company paid $15,000 over the policy limits without going to trial.
An industrial business transporting lightweight insulating materials failed to use the necessary tie-downs to secure its boxes in the back of a pickup truck. As a result, a box flew out of the back of the truck diving at highway speeds. The box hit our client, who was behind the truck on a motorcycle. The impact of the box caused the motorcyclist to lose control and impact the center concrete barrier. Our client suffered a brain injury. Our client required multiple facial surgeries as well as back and shoulder surgery.

Our client had worked in sanitation for 19 years prior to the wreck. After the wreck, he was no longer able to do his job and could not work. He ultimately required neck surgery, and his physician has recommended him for low back surgery.
Our client was traveling on the interstate in an 18-wheeler when the defendant 18-wheeler failed to yield to our client coming out of a stop sign. The defendant and client collided with each other.

An 18-wheeler ran into the back of our client without attempting to brake, destroying the back end of her vehicle.

Our client was driving south on US-75 near Spring Valley in Dallas, Texas, when a box truck driver failed to control his speed and rear-ended her vehicle.

Our client sustained injuries to her neck and back, which required multiple spinal injections.
Our client was traveling on South Garland Avenue in Garland, Texas. The defendant was driving a box truck in the scope of his employment. He was using his handheld device and failed to see the car ahead of him slowing down. The defendant changed lanes to avoid the slowing vehicle and collided with our client, flipping his truck. Unbeknownst to his employer, the defendant was driving on a suspended license at the time of the wreck. Our client suffered injuries to his lower back and neck and required multiple surgeries.
Our client was traveling to a local shopping center. A tractor-trailer failed to yield and turned in front of her, causing a bad collision. Our client suffered a knee injury that required surgery. The truck driver would not admit that he failed to yield and tried to blame our client.
A gravel company failed to keep its truck in safe working condition. As a result, when its driver started out on his 5 a.m. trip and saw the light indicating the dump was raised, the driver didn’t think it was raised and didn’t do what he knew he should have done to ensure it was in the proper position. As the driver started to pass under an overpass, the dump rose up (or according to the company was already raised) and crashed into the overpass, leaving debris all over a pitch-dark highway and separating the end-dump from the tractor. As our client drove down the highway at highway speeds, he hit the debris left on the roadway, lost control, and bounced off the rear of the dump truck. The driver blamed the company, and the company blamed its driver. Our client suffered a head injury and back and neck injuries.

Clients were passengers on a Bus heading to Trucking School in the dark, early morning hours. An 18-Wheeler turning from a private driveway blocked the road due to difficulties managing the tight turn. The Bus Driver failed to see the stopped 18-Wheeler ahead in his lane even with his headlights and crashed into the 18-Wheeler's Trailer causing injuries to many of the Bus passengers. Client 1 sustained significant low back injuries requiring multiple spinal injections and eventually, a spinal fusion surgery. Client 2 sustained injuries to his head, neck, and low back, which required emergency room and chiropractic care.
Initially, the Bus company refused to accept any responsibility for the crash, while the 18-Wheeler company only wanted to take partial responsibility. After suit was filed, depositions of both drivers were taken which revealed that both drivers were negligent in causing the crash. At mediation, both agreed to share responsibility and ensure our clients were made whole.

The defendant driver had never been trained by his employer to steer to the right in this situation. In fact, the defendant received no formal training from his employer.
Our client was traveling on Westmoreland Road in Dallas when an uninsured driver ran a red light and T-boned his vehicle, which knocked him unconscious.

The lane to the right of their vehicle was also a left-hand turning lane, which was occupied by a tractor trailer. When the light turned green, they both began left-hand turns. Unfortunately, the 18-wheeler’s trailer began to cut into our client’s lane. This is known as “off-tracking,” where the trailer does not follow the same path as the tire on the truck but instead makes a sharper turn, often encroaching into the adjacent lane of traffic or even onto sidewalks. The trailer’s rear tandem set of tires struck our client’s car and nearly ripped off the front right wheels of his vehicle.

The driver of the box truck following behind her failed to bring his truck to a stop and rear-ended her vehicle. She suffered injuries to her neck and low back, which required injection therapies. We were able to show the insurance company that commercial truck drivers are required to maintain following distances that will provide them sufficient time and distance to bring their trucks to a stop without rear-ending the vehicle in front of them. This commercial truck driver failed in that regard.
We represented both the driver and her passenger in this case. Our clients were driving on the interstate when they encountered a wreck ahead of them, along with first responders that were at the scene. Our clients began to slow as they approached the site of the wreck and first responders, and they were struck in the rear by an 18-wheeler. One of our clients suffered injuries to her neck, while the other client had low back injuries. Truck drivers are required to look at least 12 seconds ahead of their vehicles when they are driving on highways, so that they can see upcoming hazards like an accident scene. That is supposed to provide time for the truck driver to create a plan to avoid any such approaching hazards, whether it be slowing down, changing lanes, or both. In this case, the truck driver failed to make a proper visual search and was following too closely.
