When manufacturers cut corners in the design or manufacturing of a product, serious injuries occur. Shockingly, some manufacturers weigh the cost of paying injury claims against the cost of implementing safety measures that would prevent injuries from occurring. If you or a loved one have been injured and you believe it is due to a faulty, dangerous, or poorly-designed product, contact us.

The driver of the second truck claimed he was presented with a “sudden emergency” and the insurance company fought not to pay anything. After CMZ obtained the “black box” from the truck and our client’s car, we were able to prove that not only was the second truck following too close, but that he was also speeding. And, most importantly, we were able to prove scientifically that our client would have been able to stop before hitting the load in front of him if not for the rear end collision caused by the second truck. We also obtained the driver’s log books and satellite tracking data to show the driver had routinely driven too fast and driven over his hours of service. The trucking company knew it and did nothing to stop it. But, the jury did.

The laws of negligence assign liability to anyone who acts unreasonably and carelessly, causing injury and harm to another person. In most cases, there is no need for the responsible party to have acted intentionally, so long as their actions represent a deviation from reasonably “prudent” (i.e., careful) conduct. To learn more about negligence, personal injury, and wrongful death in Texas, please contact Chandler Mathis & Zivley today: 877-739-7744.

Maybe. An award of damages does not necessarily translate into hard cash, especially if the person who caused your injury does not carry insurance or is underinsured. If you prevail in a trial, the other side may pursue an appeal which could stay satisfaction of a judgment. Additionally, you may have to take further legal steps actually to collect the money. For example, if a defendant against whom you have won a judgment does not pay it, you may have to initiate collection proceedings. If the defendant owns property, you may be able to foreclose on it.

The young boy literally choked in his father’s arms. The food manufacturer attempted to blame our client’s underlying medical conditions and other factors as the cause of his untimely death. More shocking was the assertion that his life had little to no value because of those underlying conditions. The parents of this young man fought to make this company admit its mistake and change its marketing and labeling practices so this would not happen to anyone else.
