I delivered a load of hay and a couple of bales got pushed down on top of me. They were very patient with me, worked with me, they filled me in on details, they stayed in communication, and they let me know what was going on. The atmosphere of the people was very friendly, very likeable, VERY LIKEABLE, and no pressure. Mike was exquisitely very, very nice, very friendly. They looked out for my interests.

Workplace Accident Case
Dallas Subrogation Attorney
The Other Insurance Company is Taking Forever! Is Subrogation an Option For Me?
Subrogation is a process through which an insurance company can seek reimbursement for payment it made on a claim. Subrogation is possible when a victim in an accident files a claim through their own insurance company. The insurance company will typically pay for the damages in the accident but the insurance company will then seek reimbursement from the party responsible for the accident.
Subrogation exists because sometimes a defendant’s insurance company can be slow to process a claim. For instance, if a person is the victim in a car accident, he or she needs a replacement car quickly. If the defendant’s insurance company is handling the claim too slowly, the plaintiff might file a claim through his or her own insurance company to speed things along. The insurance company would then seek reimbursement through the defendant.

Can I file an accident claim against the defendant?
A loading dock worker suffered serious including numerous facial fractures and minor brain trauma when an 18-wheeler back into him, crushing him against the loading dock. The plaintiff's employer was a subscriber to Texas Workers' Compensation coverage, thus a claim was rightly filed against the third party trucking company whom the truck driver operating the reversing 18-wheeler worked for.
The plaintiffs asserted the position that the trucking company in question was liable on the basis of respondeat superior and negligent retention. The defendants argued that the plaintiff was the sole proximate cause of his injuries by virtue of the plaintiff putting himself in harms way. They maintained that the plaintiff simply walked behind the reversing tractor trailer as it pushed back toward the loading dock.
It was later determined through deposition testimony that the truck driver had indeed instructed the plaintiff to stand behind the trailer in order to determine the vehicle's proximity to the dock. Once this fact came to light, the defendants agreed to mediate whereby the case was satisfactorily settled.

A young worker was negligently trained to operate a piece of machinery. During a routine cleaning procedure, he suffered a serious hand injury consisting of numerous deep lacerations across his palm. The defendants claimed that he was a contract laborer and therefore owed no legal duty. Through litigation, our attorneys showed evidence to establish an employer-employee relationship thereby creating a non-subscriber work injury cause of action.
