I was on my way to work and came up to a stop sign. I saw two cars coming from the opposite direction. Right after they passed, I went to turn—and out of nowhere, a one-ton work truck, a service truck with two beds, tried to pass me in a no-passing zone while speeding. It smashed into my truck, messed it up badly, and left me dizzy with smoke everywhere.
In my mind, I was in the right. I found out the company’s name and called. The guy told me, “There’s no accident report showing fault, and until we have that, we’re not giving you anything.” I told him the driver shouldn’t have been speeding or passing, and he just said, “I’m sorry, that’s how it works.” They didn’t want to help me. That’s when it clicked—I needed a lawyer.
I never thought an injury could affect me so much mentally. Losing my ability to work physically weighed heavily on me. It was scary to think—if I didn’t win a case or get compensation, what would happen to my family?
Once I got a lawyer, I knew he was on my side, fighting for me. That helped me win the mental battle too. I could call or email anytime, and we stayed in touch. We even became friends through the process.
A lot of people say lawyers and doctors are messing up the world, but not here. With Zehl & Associates, it felt like a good old hometown experience. Even though they’re a big company in a big city like Houston, they made me feel like I was being taken care of by a small, hometown firm.
I would definitely recommend Zehl & Associates. The first consultation is free, and they work on commission—if they don’t win you money, they don’t take anything. Nothing comes out of your pocket. If I had tried to fight this on my own without a lawyer, I would have lost.
In the end, we came out really good, and I’m well satisfied.
