Why You Need the Best Texas Personal Injury Lawyers After an Accident

Undefeated Texas Personal Injury Lawyers

“I know I need an attorney with experience, but isn’t it too expensive? I don’t think I can afford it.”

This is one of the most common concerns we hear from those who need an experienced personal injury lawyer the most — accident victims whose livelihood and well-being are on the line. But the truth is, hiring the right lawyer doesn’t cost you money and helps secure your future.

Hiring an inexperienced lawyer or one without the resources to take on large companies can end up costing you far more in the long run. Only the best law firms, law firms with a track-record of substantial verdicts and settlements, have what it takes to hold corporations and insurers fully accountable and recover the maximum compensation possible.

At Zehl & Associates, our undefeated Personal Injury Lawyers have recovered Billions for our clients, including some of the largest verdicts and settlements in Texas and U.S. history for victims of truck accidents, oilfield blowouts, refinery explosions, maritime disasters, and other catastrophic events against the largest companies in the world.

Here’s why our experience and resources matter — and how we use them to stand up, fight, and win.

Why Are a Law Firm’s Resources & Reputation Important to My Personal Injury Case?

When you’re going up against a billion-dollar corporation or insurance company, they will stop at nothing to avoid responsibility and pay you as little as possible for your injuries and losses. Your lawyer’s reputation and resources can make or break your case.

Studies show that accident victims who hire personal injury lawyers recover, on average, 3.5 times more than those who don’t. But those results don’t come from just any lawyer — they come from firms with the resources to take cases to trial and a track record of winning.

Here are just a few reasons why your lawyer’s resources and reputation are critical:

No Upfront Fees — You Don’t Pay Unless We Win

Hiring a top-tier firm shouldn’t add to your financial stress. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we advance all costs of investigating and litigating your case and only get paid if we win. We also make sure your bills and reasonable living expenses are covered while your case is pending.

Access to the Best Medical Care and 24/7 Support

Recovering from a serious injury takes time, treatment, and peace of mind. We connect our clients with the top medical specialists in the country and provide 24/7 support so you can focus on what matters most while we handle everything else.

Thorough, Relentless Investigation

Corporations and insurers often do everything they can to hide the truth and avoid responsibility. Our attorneys, investigators, and support staff work around the clock to gather evidence, secure witness statements, and preserve critical records — before they can be lost or destroyed.

Nationwide Network of Experts

Over the last two decades, we’ve built relationships with the nation’s top engineers, accident reconstructionists, forensic specialists, and industry experts. Their testimony helps us prove exactly what happened, who’s responsible, and the full extent of your damages.

A Track Record That Commands Respect

Companies know who we are, what we stand for, and that we will never back down in pursuit of justice and full compensation. That reputation means they take our cases seriously from day one — which puts our clients in the strongest possible position for a record-setting recovery.

How Much Does a Lawyer’s “Expertise” Really Matter?

The short answer: It’s everything.

Our goal at the end of the day is to ensure our clients and their families are protected and that they never have to worry about how they’re going to pay their bills in the future.

To deliver record-setting results, we rely on our expertise in complex, high-stakes cases — truck accidents, oilfield accidents, refinery explosions, and catastrophic work injuries. And with decades of experience taking on Fortune 500 companies and a deep knowledge of federal and state safety regulations, we use our expertise to build the strongest possible case and recover the maximum compensation — whether through a settlement or at trial.

Here’s how our experienced personal injury lawyers deliver for our clients when it matters most:

Handle Every Aspect of Your Case

From day one, we take over every detail — investigating your accident, identifying all at-fault parties, filing claims and motions on time, and managing all communications with insurance adjusters and defense lawyers. You’ll never have to wonder about the status of your case or deal with stressful calls from insurers — we handle it all.

Go Above and Beyond for Clients

Our clients are more than just cases. We make sure you have access to the best medical care, help coordinate appointments, and ensure you don’t have to worry about bills while your case is pending. There’s a reason why so many clients say “Zehl took care of everything.”

Anticipate Problems Before They Occur

Our attorneys know the tactics that companies use to discredit your injuries, shift blame, or delay or deny your claim. We stay ahead of them at every turn — filing motions to preserve evidence, protecting you from surveillance and social media traps, and making sure your rights are fully protected.

Secure, Preserve, and Use Critical Evidence to Win

Winning record-setting verdicts requires more than simply collecting documents — we know which evidence matters most to your case and how to keep it from vanishing. We obtain and review medical records, take depositions, and work with expert witnesses to prove how the accident should have been prevented in the first place.

Never Settle for Less Than Maximum Compensation

We take the time to learn about you, your family, your work, and how the accident changed your life. Then we calculate, quantify, and demand every dollar you’re owed. We will always refuse any settlement that doesn’t fully compensate you for all your injuries and losses. And if the company refuses to pay what your case is worth, we take them to trial, where we have never lost a case.

Prepare Every Case for Trial

Companies know which firms will actually go to trial and which will fold. Our record-setting verdicts and settlements send a clear message: negligence has consequences. As a result, many of our clients’ cases resolve for record amounts long before trial.

Help You Plan for the Future

Even after your case is resolved, we continue to support you. We connect you with financial planners and trust specialists to make sure your recovery takes care of you and your family for years to come.

How to Avoid Choosing the Wrong Lawyer — and Make Sure You Have the Best

Not all personal injury lawyers are created equal. Hiring the wrong attorney can cost you far more than legal fees. It can mean missed deadlines, undervalued claims, destroyed evidence, and pressure to accept far less than you deserve.

But how do you know if a firm truly has the experience and resources to fight for you?

Look for these signs:

Track Record of Success: Check verdicts and settlements. Are they recent, significant, and relevant to your type of case?
Trial Experience: Firms that regularly take cases to trial know how to negotiate effectively and aren’t afraid to stand up to large corporations, insurance companies, or teams of defense attorneys.
Specialization in Catastrophic Injuries: Does the firm focus on the types of serious injuries you face, such as burns or traumatic brain injuries? You need a team with a deep understanding of the medical, legal, and technical issues involved in your unique case and a network of leading medical and safety experts to help prove what happened.
Commitment to Clients: How do they make you feel — supported, informed, and confident every step of the way? The best lawyers don’t just handle your case, they treat you like family.

At Zehl & Associates, we meet all of these criteria – and more. Unlike high-volume firms that rush cases, we limit our caseload so we can devote our full resources and energy to every client. From the moment you hire us, you’ll have a team fighting for your future and making sure you’re protected every step of the way.

As our track record demonstrates, we don’t just win — we set records.

Billions Won: How Zehl & Associates Makes a Real Difference in High-Stakes Cases

When you call Zehl & Associates, you’re not just hiring a lawyer — you’re gaining a full team dedicated to securing your future. Here’s what that looks like in practice, based on one of our clients’ experiences:

When Garry reached out to us, he was facing a life-altering injury. His knee had been fractured in over 35 places after a serious 18-wheeler accident on Highway 115 in Kermit, Texas, and the trucking company refused to take responsibility.

Garry knew he needed a team capable of holding the trucking company fully accountable. From the moment he called, our attorneys and support staff took immediate action:

Access to Top Medical Specialists: We connected Garry with leading surgeons and physical therapists in Houston to ensure he received the best care for his ongoing treatment.
24/7 Support and Guidance: Our team was available around the clock to answer questions, coordinate appointments, and handle insurance communications.
Record-Setting Results: In just 14 months, we secured a settlement that far exceeded Garry’s expectations.

This is the difference working with an experienced, well-resourced firm makes: you’re not just another case number. You have a team that manages every detail, anticipates challenges before they arise, and fights relentlessly to protect your future.
