I was working offshore as a pump operator, doing a plug and abandonment job. We were in the process of plugging the well, but there was still pressure on it. A valve blew and knocked me into the water. When I woke up in the hospital, I had lost my leg. From that point on, my life has been completely different.
I knew I’d had a very serious accident, and while I worked for a good company, I also knew they weren’t going to step up and take care of me and my family the way I had taken care of them. I realized I needed someone to fight for me. I contacted several law firms, but when I called Zehl & Associates, it felt different. They were sincere about my accident. When I looked them up online, everything I read—the reviews, the success stories, the praise from their clients—confirmed they were with you every step.
Zehl & Associates did so much for me. Mr. Ryan Zehl was upfront about everything—what he thought I should get, how long the case might take. They made sure my bills were paid, that my kids still had the best Christmas and birthdays. They supported me financially, spiritually, and emotionally, checking in on me and my family every day. Whenever I needed something, it was just a phone call away. They even made sure that when I traveled to meet with them, I was comfortable, with good hotels and great meals.
The outcome was more than three times what I expected. Their hard work and determination, day in and day out, was unbelievable. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the result.
I would recommend Zehl & Associates to anyone. No matter the injury—small or big—they are the best. They were prepared to take my case all the way to trial, and in fact, that’s what they wanted. They didn’t just want to settle quickly—they wanted to fight for me. That gave me 100% trust that they truly had my best interests, and my family’s best interests, at heart. I love them. I love those guys.
