High profile Houston truck accident attorney Greg Baumgartner has been retained as Houston trial counsel in a truck accident case involving California residents represented by a prominent Southern California personal-injury law firm.
The plaintiffs, an elderly couple were rear-ended by a dump truck while stopped at a stop sign. The insurance company for the truck driver has taken a hard line with the plaintiffs and has offered very little to resolve the case. The couple sustained neck and back injuries and their car totaled.
The truck accident lawsuit will be filed in Harris County and a jury requested.
More and more often, insurance carriers are taking hard lines on auto accident claims and truck accident cases. Often offering very little in the way of pain and suffering or for human damages. Much of this is due to the recent radical tort reform that Texas passed five years ago. Some of it is from the take it way from me approach the insurers use with computer program valuations.
The tort reform package in Houston resulted in insurers treating victims and their families with disdain, while having no impact on reducing premiums.
Fortunately, Texas has not done away with personal injury lawsuits altogether. Victims of another person's negligence routinely comment on how unfair Texas tort reform is to the innocent party once they are injured in an accident.
The Baumgartner law firm is routinely referred truck accident cases from plaintiff and defense lawyers in Texas and across the United States. If you have a Texas semi truck accident case you would like to refer to the Baumgartner law firm at please contact Greg Baumgartner.
