At Shamieh Law, we know that a single moment on a Texas highway can change a life forever. For one of our clients, that moment happened on a morning many of us remember: when a thin layer of ice turned our roads into a hazard.
Our client was doing everything right, driving with the caution that Texas winters demand. But behind them was a truck driver who ignored the risks, speeding through the conditions until they lost control. The resulting rear-end collision was more than just a “fender bender”. It left our client with a life-altering traumatic brain injury (TBI) and severe spinal damage.
We Don’t Accept Excuses From Insurance Companies
When we took this case, the defense tried every trick in the book. They called it an “unavoidable accident,” blaming the weather as if the driver had no choice but to speed. They even tried to point the finger at our client, the very person whose life they had upended.
At Shamieh Law, we don’t let insurance companies hide behind excuses. We know that “unavoidable” is just a word they use to avoid responsibility. Our team went to work immediately to prove negligence even in the unfavorable weather.
A Race Against a Dwindling Well: Multiple Claimants in a Trucking Accident
As we dug deeper, we discovered a ticking clock. The defendant had limited insurance coverage, and because of the size of the accident, multiple other claimants were already lining up to take a piece of that small pool of money.
In this business, “waiting your turn” often means leaving your client with nothing. We knew that if we followed the slow, standard legal pace, the funds our client desperately needed for medical bills and long-term TBI recovery would be gone before we ever saw a courtroom.
The Shamieh Way: Relentless Advocacy
We don’t just “handle” cases; we fight them. To protect our client’s future, we turned up the heat:
- Aggressive Pressure: We didn’t wait for a settlement offer. We aggressively pushed the defense, dismantling their “unavoidable accident” theory with hard evidence.
- Demanding Priority: We forced the insurance company to realize they couldn’t stall. We demanded they turn over the remaining policy limits immediately.
- Securing Results: By being relentless, we successfully captured the full remaining policy limits before other claimants could drain the available coverage.
