Michael took a case where it seemed like there was no light at the end of the tunnel and he did the unthinkable and got everything dismissed. I would tell anyone to use Grossman Law Office. They worked very hard to get everything taken care of and I couldn't be happier.

How the claims process works

Many Houston car accident victims ask our attorneys for an explanation regarding the car accident claims process.

Theoretically, if you are the victim of a car accident, there is a clear and concise claims process that you will be subjected to.

  • Driver A causes a collision with Driver B.
  • Driver B contacts Driver A’s insurance company.
  • The insurance company sends an appraiser to assess the damage to Driver B’s vehicle.
  • A rental car is provided while the investigation is ongoing.
  • Driver B’s car is repaired or Driver B is given a check in the event of a total loss.

The reality of the situation usually does not match this theory. Most car accident victims in Houston will experience some trouble or difficulty during the claims process, particularly when there is an injury involved. If your experience dealing with an insurance adjuster is anything other than what is described above, you are likely falling victim to the classic insurance adjuster bag of tricks and can benefit from the use of an attorney.

Our Houston car accident injury attorneys can assist you by intervening at what ever step of the claims process you are at in order to ensure that the adjuster gets back on track.

Our firm launched an investigation, the findings of which served as the basis for a subsequent lawsuit. We were able to determine that the defendant's accusations of contributory negligence on behalf of he driver of the vehicle did appear to be valid and plaintiffs conceded as much. However, the plaintiffs were adamant that the contributory negligence did not entirely overshadow the negligence on behalf of the defendant truck driver.

Through physical evidence and an admission of liability that our attorneys were able to importune from the defendant under oath, we were able to show that the defendant had indeed pulled into the path of the decedent's vehicle, which was of consequence irrespective of the decedent's own contributory negligence, and that icontact.com
