ALL HONORS & AWARDS

Work Injury Lawyer

Work injuries impact every part of a person and their family’s life. Despite this knowledge, many employers are only focused on their bottom line. Often times forcing their workers to return to work without proper medical evaluations, testing, or MRI imaging. In most cases, the employers will refer their workers to their designated doctors, whose loyalty is with the employer and not the injured worker.  

Thankfully, injured workers have a right to select their own doctor. If you are injured don’t suffer in silence. You have a right to get the medical treatment you deserve. If your employer tries to tell you differently call us today! We will get you the compensation you are owed and bring stability and comfort back into your life. During our initial call, we will explain your legal rights, identifying all potential injuries and damages, and discuss the next steps. To learn more, schedule a consultation today.

Truck Accident

Truck Accident

Trucks are an ever- present sight on Houston’s roads and highways. It is a rare business that does not rely on a truck to make deliveries, and many private homes see commercial trucks visit to deliver packages or provide services. As useful as these vehicles are, they do pose a threat to other travelers on the road. The massive size of commercial trucks makes them difficult to stop in an emergency. In addition, the drivers may face immense pressure to meet deadlines causing them to remain on the road for lengthy periods of time. These factors all contribute to a high rate of accidents. A Houston truck accident lawyer could help people who have suffered harm in collisions involving commercial vehicles. This includes proving that a truck driver was responsible for a crash, evaluating how those crashes impacted one’s life, and demanding appropriate compensation from drivers, insurance companies, and trucking businesses.

Car Accident

The roads and interstates in and around Houston are some of the most congested and dangerous anywhere in the country. Even doing something as simple as driving to work or running errands places people in significant danger when other motorists do not take proper care while behind the wheel. In fact, the law in Houston says that a driver who does not follow the rules of the road or is otherwise at fault for a crash has the obligation to provide compensation to all affected parties. This can include other drivers, passengers, and even pedestrians. A Houston car accident lawyer is here to help if another driver’s negligence has left you with injuries. A claim for compensation may demand payments for the costs of medical treatment, emotional trauma, and even lost wages. Reach out to an experienced attorney today to learn more.

The measurement of success is simple.

We measure our success strictly upon results we accomplish for our clients and the human caring relationship we have established. After an injury caused by another person or corporation, it is difficult, if not impossible to return to the life you had prior to the accident. While it is not possible to turn back time, a personal injury claim or lawsuit can help you achieve justice and full compensation and live the most positive future possible.

WHY GET A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY?

After an injury accident, it can be difficult to know where to turn for help, or even if you need an attorney. If you or a loved one suffered serious injuries, it is imperative that you have legal representation, as the amount paid in a settlement or awarded by a jury will reflect the professional skills of your attorney.

Attempting to settle without legal counsel is extremely dangerous, as it is standard procedure for an insurance company to attempt to settle a serious injury case for far less than it is worth. Willie Powells does not want you to be a victim twice – once of a negligent act, and once falling pretty to the tactics employed by insurance companies who want to pay you less than you are entitled to.

After an accident, should I just work directly with my insurance agent?
If you were involved in a minor accident and didn’t suffer any injury, you are probably safe – but if you were seriously injured, it is imperative that you seek legal help in negotiating the terms of your settlement.
How much is my case worth?
When valuing an injury case, many factors are considered, including the costs associated with medical care, the long term impact on your life and work, as well as the pain and suffering and emotional anguish – and reduced quality of life you experienced due to the accident. You must have a full, professional case evaluation to determine the value of your case – call us for a consultation.
What should I do after an injury accident?
If you were involved in a vehicle accident and were injured, you must seek medical treatment at once, and inform your doctor you were in a vehicle accident. Follow all doctor’s instructions carefully. If you were hospitalized as a result of your injuries, ensure you connect with a personal injury lawyeras early as possible after your accident. Never admit fault – while it is natural to feel guilty, the other party may be at fault. Speak to attorney Willie Powells first.
 
Can my case be settled out of court?
Many personal injury cases are settled, with no need for a civil lawsuit to be filed – however, you want to keep that option open. Should the insurance company fail to make a reasonable offer in a timely manner, a lawsuit can hold their feet to the fire. It is imperative that your Houston personal injury attorney is a trial lawyer for this reason alone.
