I'm in need of an attorney to help me through an injury claim. Several hospitals and insurance companies involved. Thanks for your help. Bonus points for humorous responses.

Happy to help if I can.

But generally look for folks who are board certified in personal injury law. Not that there aren't great personal injury lawyers who aren't board certified. But it's a great way to weed people out. Also, look at the websites of any recs you get... If they list other practice areas along with personal injury (eg immigration, family law, criminal law, etc...), look elsewhere.

I'll ask our guy that's on the defense side of that. He knows who's actually good/effective (not billboard lawyers).

I would think billboard guys have to be good enough to afford it.

Push and win baby.

I've spoken to one, and they are in other areas as you mentioned. Why should I avoid them?

Can you post your email? I'll give you the lowdown.

that's a volume game. They get a big line of credit and run those marketing campaigns. Goal is to get enough "low hanging fruit" car wreck cases that settle pretty quick and catch some breaks on higher dollar injury cases. Also, they refer a lot of stuff out and simply get a referral fee.

The guys that are truly good at picking a jury and trying a case get their best referrals from their own professional network.

Isn't the Texas Hammer the first call? I mean, you aren't a true Houstonian if you aren't calling his office first.

If it were for myself, I would probably call Rob Ammons. Buzbee and Mo Aziz are good but doubt they take a simple auto-pedestrian, but an associate at their firms may take it.

Yeah, I was going ask that because I've heard that the billboard and TV lawyers are more like referral businesses than traditional lawfirms. I guess it makes sense for small firms or solos to work with them as sort of a way of pooling their marketing resources, with one caricature mascot in the commercials.

Depends on the firm. Adler refers out tons of auto cases he gets called on

Daspit, and Pusch & Nguyen are handing the cases they get calls on. At least the car wrecks.

Almost a full page in and no mention of "ambulance chaser"

Tough industry for me to respect. While there certainly is a need for this expertise, the chicken **** stuff over shadows that to me.

Dealing with some of today's biggest insurance companies after their customers have claimed full responsibility for an accident is what is chicken chit. Not to mention the smaller insurance companies that don't return calls or emails about a claim. Texas Department of Insurance is worthless to help also.

I'll gladly hand the next case off to an attorney before I'll deal with it myself again.

Totally get it. I'm just more poking fun at the stereotype of some fat poor lady claiming major back and neck issues after a tap rear ending at a neighborhood red light and the ilk that reps this type of behavior. Likely going for emotional trauma payout as well…
