Zehl & Associates Injury & Accident Lawyers

Getting your car smashed by a big rig truck is a pretty harrowing experience. I am lucky the injuries weren't any worse, though it was bad enough for me to have to call the ambulance. I couldn't go back to work, and my back and neck were feeling the effects. My car had to be towed, so it was definitely not a minor accident. My friend was my passenger, and it was her idea for me to call Ryan Zehl, since she knew that he was one of the most reputable car accident lawyers in Houston. He had beaten the Greyhound bus company in last year's trial, so I thought her suggestion to call him was a really good idea. If anyone knew their way around personal injury law, it had to be him if he could beat one of the biggest bus companies in America. My friend was less shaken up than I was after the accident, and was able to take photos with her cell phone. We filled out a police report, and we took down the names and numbers of witnesses to make sure everything is covered. I was still worried about coordinating everything at work, since I work 2 part time jobs. While I was too injured to work, I couldn't afford to be fired either. Ryan took care of all the paper work so both my employers knew about the injuries and the doctor visits. He also made sure that I and my friend wouldn't be billed for any medical treatment. He also took care of her paperwork with her employers, as they want to make sure that the injuries are legitimate and that any treatment would go under the truck's insurance company rather than out of their workers comp insurance. Ryan told me that I had to be aware of injuries that may take a while before it manifests, since not all injuries are apparent right after the accident. This can be pretty scary, since I don't have health insurance and neither does my friend. The doctors they sent us to took meticulous records and diagnosed everything that might lead to health problems down the road due to the accident. I got a very quick and large settlement--I'm sure they've heard of him after the Greyhound case. more

My car was completely totaled after I got rear ended on the freeway. I was on my way to work when I had to slow down because the right lane was closed off. Apparently the car behind me didn't expect it and couldn't slow down on time and slammed into my car. I wound up hitting my head on the windshield, so the cops and ambulance had to come to the scene. My wife had to leave work to visit me at the hospital, and we were both really worried because even though we both had car insurance, neither of us had health insurance. Fortunately, my brother heard I had gotten into a car accident and recommended Fitts Zehl, who is one of the most reputable accident attorneys in Houston. He told me that they were very experienced in dealing with these cases, and that they would take care of everything. Fitts Zehl did in fact take care of everything, and I didn't have to see one bill from the doctor or take any calls from the insurance. They handled everything like they said they would, and I even got compensated for lost time at work. I got a completely new car, and I didn't have to worry about paying even one bill. I've heard horror stories where the insurance company lagged, even though the accident was completely not your fault. But all they care about is paying as little as possible, so it doesn't matter whose fault it is. With Fitts Zehl, I didn't have to waste time making my case to the insurance so I could just worry about getting better and getting on with my life. I was able to get back to work, and all the injuries I sustained were treated quickly without any runaround from the insurance company, so that's a huge relief. I got all the doctor documentation I needed for the missed time at work, so there were no issues with the HR department (thank god). If you want a good accident lawyer who will fight to get you the best settlement, I would say that you can't go wrong with Fitts Zehl. They made sure the insurance company didn't walk all over me, and everything was resolved very quickly. more

The team at Fittz-Zehl is amazing! They helped me resolve my personal injury law suit quickly and aggresively. Everyone who worked on my case has been a huge help to my family during this time. more

I hired another lawyer to resolve an employment claim regarding unpaid overtime, but the attorney refused to listen to me. I was referred to Fitts Zehl by a friend and they reviewed my case and agreed to represent me. In a matter of weeks, the other side made a very favorable settlement offer and we resolved the claim. I would hire this firm in the future. They did a great job. more

I was recently in a car accident and was referred to a lawyer through a friend. He was COMPLETELY unresponsive. I even went to court by myself. I at least expected him to send an assistant? So I quickly realized that lawyer was not for me. I asked around to see who knew a personal injury attorney. My ex boyfriend recommended Fitts Zehl. They have since been working with me and I'm very pleased with their level of professionalism. more

I have been fortunate to use these guys on two occasions. I needed an hurricane Ike attorney. After several months of fighting with my insurance company over my hurricane Ike damaged roof, this law firm made it right. More recently, my son was involved in a car accident. Thankfully these Houston personal injury attorneys were able to assist my son. If I ever need an attorney again (I hope I don't) I will call these business and personal injury attorneys in Houston. more

Several months ago I was involved in an accident*** it wasn't my fault but I was hurt.

They were a great firm to work with! more
