Such a conflict is entirely beneficial to the insurance company no matter the outcome. A liability dispute causes many accident victims to simply give up which is certainly to the benefit of the insurance company, and those who do not give up will only drag the case out for a long period of time which is beneficial to the insurance company in its own right. An experienced liability dispute attorney is crucial for success.


So How do Insurance Adjusters Work?

Even if the insurance adjuster knows beyond the shadow of a doubt that their client is at fault, they will certainly take advantage of any technicality they can to assign some portion of the blame on you. That is standard operating procedure.

Of course, the outcome of such a protocol is that accident victims unfairly suffer. Our experienced Houston car accident attorneys can help remedy a liability dispute by investigating the insurance company’s cited reason for the liability dispute, such as damaging witness statements or the defendant’s statement that counter is at odds with your own, and uncovering any flaws within the official reason for the denied claim.

What often happens is that we unravel the basis of the insurance company’s assertions which forces them to reevaluate the case. In many instances, we uncover new information that completely destroys their liability accusations and that will either result in a reversal of their position, or reveal the unethical methods they are using to deny your claim which can later be exposed in front of a jury. As you can imagine, when facing such harsh allegations of unfair practices, the insurance company is going to be more inclined to accept liability.

If your claim is being wrongfully denied, our experienced liability dispute lawyers of Houston can help get your case back on the path to success.

$300,000.00 Recovery - Commercial Vehicle Accident / Work Injury (Facial Fractures and Head Trauma)
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.
