Undefeated Houston Personal Injury Lawyers

If you were injured due to someone else’s reckless or careless actions, attempting to resolve the legal issue on your own can be a costly mistake. Hiring an experienced Houston personal injury lawyer is crucial to securing the full compensation you deserve for your financial, physical, and emotional recovery.

Statistics show that individuals who hire a personal injury attorney are 3.5 times more likely to win their cases compared to those who go it alone.

Here are just a few of the advantages to hiring an experienced legal team such as the undefeated trial lawyers at Zehl & Associates.

1. Our Houston Personal Injury Lawyers protect you from insurance companies.

After an accident, the responsible party’s insurance adjuster may promise to “make things right.” But in reality, they’re only interested in downplaying your injuries to avoid paying you and your family the compensation you deserve. Don’t let them pressure you into providing a statement or signing medical releases, as these could be used against you.

Instead, you should hang up the phone when a “claims rep” calls and contact an attorney right away.  

We stop insurance companies from taking advantage of you by:

  • Combating all the tactics insurers use to minimize payouts 
  • Preventing you from making statements or signing anything that could be used against you
  • Handling all negotiations, so your family can focus on what matters most
  • Finding key evidence they don’t want us to access to prove your case
  • Advocating for your best interests and doing whatever it takes to maximize compensation
  • Refusing any offer that fails to provide the full compensation possible for your injuries and losses

By devoting our full resources into each and every case, we quickly level the playing field and lift the weight off of our clients and their families. 

2. We understand how to maximize your recovery.

Legal procedures are complicated, and so are the rules that cover civil lawsuits and claims for financial compensation for injuries sustained in accidents.   

You deserve a legal team well-versed in the Texas Civil Practices and Remedies Code and capable of holding any at-fault party accountable in the eyes of the law, regardless of what happened or who caused you harm. 

At Zehl & Associates, our team specializes in some of the most complex cases in all of personal injury law, including oilfield accidents, truck and 18-wheeler accidents, work injuries, and wrongful death.  We understand what is required to prove fault and liability and to achieve record-setting results in each, unique case.

Once hired, we quickly get to work: 

  • Investigating: We assemble the best and brightest lawyers, engineers, and safety experts to independently investigate the circumstances of your accident and obtain all the evidence needed to determine what happened and how it could — and should — have been prevented.
  • The Best Doctors: We get you access to the best doctors and medical providers so that you can get the medical care you need and deserve.
  • Deposing Witnesses: We depose witnesses and other parties with insight into or information about your case.
  • Filing Claims: We file your claim and supporting documentation with the local court and/or insurance company within the two-year statute of limitations.
  • Handling Negotiations: We take care of negotiations with the insurance company and/or other parties, so you and your family can focus on what matters most.
  • Supporting Clients Around the Clock: We are here for clients 24/7, and stand by you every step of the way, so that you have the advice and guidance you need to make the best decision for your family.
  • Preparing Every Case for Trial: As trial lawyers, we begin preparing your case for trial immediately and will never accept a settlement offer unless it fully compensates you for all your injuries and damages.

We cannot be outworked, outmaneuvered, or intimated, no matter how big the company or their team of lawyers.

3. We connect you to the best medical treatment possible.

Your health and recovery are our top priorities. We connect you with leading medical professionals who specialize in treating your specific injuries to ensure you receive the best possible care. This is essential not only for your recovery, but also for building a robust personal injury case.

What we do:

  • Make sure you get the best possible care to help you recover more fully and faster.
  • Gather thorough medical documentation to support your case and show the extent of your injuries and the necessary treatments.
  • Assemble top medical professionals to provide expert testimonies that strengthen your claim.
  • Ensure your medical bills and reasonable living expenses are covered while your case is pending.

Additionally, our team will identify any provisions in your insurance coverage that can help with medical costs during this period. We also negotiate with insurers and medical professionals to manage your bills and prevent them from going to collections.

4. We prevent critical mistakes from happening.

The legal process for personal injury claims is complex and fraught with potential pitfalls. Mistakes can seriously harm your case and reduce the compensation you receive, which is why it’s so important to hire an experienced legal team who knows how to fight for you.

How we protect your legal rights:

  • NO Missed Deadlines: The amount of time you have to file a personal injury is strictly enforced by courts and varies by state (in TX, the statute of limitations is two years). We ensure all paperwork is filed long before the deadline and immediately obtain evidence needed to prove your case.
  • NO Improper Documentation: Accurate and thorough documentation is crucial. We make sure all evidence and paperwork are properly prepared and submitted.
  • NO Damaging Statements: We guide you on what to say and, more importantly, what not to say to insurance adjusters and other parties.

By managing your case with precision and attention to detail, we prevent errors that could undermine your claim.

5. We correctly value your injury claim and demand full compensation.

After an accident, the insurance company knows how much you deserve.  But they’re hoping that you don’t fully understand how much your case is worth or what legal rights you have. Beware: You should never take a fast insurance settlement. You should immediately consult a lawyer who knows how to accurately determine your case value.

Our lawyers calculate your case value by determining your financial losses and non-economic damages.

We examine multiple factors, including:

  • The type of injuries you’ve suffered
  • Whether you’ll make a full recovery or suffer a long-term disability
  • Your medical treatment costs
  • The income you’ve lost during recovery
  • Whether the injury will impact your future earning potential
  • Damage to your quality of life and ability to enjoy life
  • Your physical pain and mental trauma
  • Whether shared fault is a legitimate issue in your case

From there, we exhaust every avenue to make sure we recover the full compensation you deserve.  Typically, the defendants agree to pay our demand and the case is settled. But if they refuse, they know they must face us in the courtroom, where our lawyers remain undefeated.

6. We handle your claim as quickly as possible.

Timeliness is essential in personal injury cases. The sooner your claim is resolved, the sooner you can receive compensation and move forward with your life. We work diligently to ensure your claim progresses efficiently through the legal system.

Our approach:

  • We streamline our processes to avoid unnecessary delays.
  • We maintain regular contact with all parties involved to keep your case moving forward.
  • While we prepare every case for trial, we also do whatever it takes to secure a full settlement as soon as possible.

Our commitment to handling your claim quickly means you spend less time waiting and more time focusing on your recovery and future.
