I never dreamed that I would end up needing a lawyer, but I did. One night, while riding my bicycle, I crashed into a concrete post that was placed right smack in the middle of a bicycle path. Despite using my light, the post just blended into the pavement making it impossible to see. The impact shattered the bones in my face, broke my forehead, and knocked out four teeth. I also lost my sense of smell among other things. These injuries required that I undergo multiple surgeries and incur hundreds of thousand dollars in medical bills.
After I got out of the hospital, I returned to the accident location to figure out what happened. I confirmed what I had previously thought. The concrete post was nearly invisible to see at night. It was very unsafe, and the accident was definitely not my fault. Not knowing who to call, I got in touch with my family lawyer, Patricia Brown. She referred me to the Robson Law Firm whose sole practice is representing injured people.
I called Chris Robson and he personally came out to meet with me at the accident scene. Mr. Robson immediately realized that the engineering firm who designed the concrete post didn't include any warning devices such as reflective tape on the post or lane markings on the bicycle path. Had the engineering firm simply designed it with reflective tape, the concrete post could have been seen easily at night from hundreds of feet away.
Despite what I thought was hands down a negligent design of the concrete post, the insurance adjuster for the engineering firm only offered to pay a fraction of my medical bills as a settlement. Chris Robson warned them that their offer was like a poke in the eye, leaving us no choice but to go to trial.
Chris Robson and his associate Jeremy Thompson tried the case in Williamson County. The trial lasted four days, included seven witnesses, and hundreds of exhibits. My lawyers proved the truth so well that the jury awarded me $2.3 million.
My attorneys knocked it out of the park. The accident, of course, was life changing all by itself. But so was the jury verdict. I was able to pay all my medical bills and have enough money left over to retire!! The only way this could have worked out better for me is if I never had the accident to begin with.
Chris and Jeremy did an excellent job. I can't thank them enough.
Sincerely,
