How to Pick a Personal Injury Attorney


Selecting the right lawyer for your case can be a daunting task. After all, the amount of money you receive depends on the ability of your attorney to effectively negotiate and fight on your behalf. This requires placing a vast amount of trust in the hands of your attorney, so choosing which one may make or break your case.
Why Do Insurance Companies Act in Bad Faith?


Insurance adjusters are paid to focus on their company’s bottom line, and it is not in the company’s best interests to make you a high settlement offer. It is common practice for insurers to employ a variety of tactics to minimize payouts or avoid them altogether. For example, an insurance adjuster might make a lowball settlement offer, hoping you will accept, so your claim can be put to rest with the lowest possible price tag to the company.
The Unforeseen and Poisonous Danger of Boating


Boating is an exhilarating experience and a favorite pastime for Texans. Taking out a watercraft is the ideal way to relax and share time with your friends or family. Unfortunately, boating also comes with a hidden danger: carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. To safely enjoy boating, you must be alert to the hidden dangers of CO poisoning and, if you do have the misfortune to be injured due to a negligent boat owner or operator, you may be able to recover compensation.
Internal Bleeding: Invisible Injuries


Accidents happen. A car accident, physical assault, or a slip or trip and fall can leave you injured and in pain. You may recognize the signs of a broken bone, a deep bruise, or a twisted ankle, but what you may not initially realize is that you have suffered internal trauma. Specifically, internal bleeding. Internal bleeding is invisible to the naked eye, but if left undetected and untreated, it can lead to permanent disability or even death.
When You Get Dealt a Bad Faith Hand



When you buy an insurance policy and pay your premiums faithfully, you expect to be protected in case of a covered loss. But when something happens, and it’s time for the insurance company to pay out, it may not go as smoothly as anticipated. Insurance providers are in business for profit and far more concerned with their own bottom line than about your health. In bad faith cases, insurers may fail to pay, devalue, or fail to handle a valid claim in a timely manner.
Phantom Pain: Amputation Injuries That Never Seem to Heal


Losing a limb is one of the most severe, life-altering types of injuries. Not only will you live with significant physical disability, but the pain and trauma associated with an amputation is horrific. You may assume that after your intense surgeries, your long physical therapy classes, and much needed time off of work, that your amputation injury would finally heal and you could try and move on with our life. Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case. You may be among the many amputation injury victims that develop phantom pain.
Everything You Need to Know About the Crime Victims’ Compensation Program


Because Marc Lenahan has been representing victims of crime for over two decades — terrorism, mass murder, DWI, child abuse imagery, homicide, criminal conspiracy, and too many others — we’ve worked closely with the good people at the Crime Victims Compensation Program over and over.
You may have never heard of the Crime Victim’s Compensation Program (CVC), but it is an incredibly important piece of Texan history and law. Started in 1979 by the Texas Legislature, the CVC is managed by the Office of the Attorney General. It was created with two primary goals in mind.
Pokémon Go Leads to Increase in Accidents
Seemingly overnight, the smartphone app “Pokémon Go” has taken the world by storm and has shot itself to the top of the app store, smashing records left and right as one of the fastest growing and most downloaded applications in history. Now, people everywhere are living out their fantasies of catching and training Pokémon in the real world, with many communities having sprung up throughout the country related to the app. Through the app’s clever use of GPS and augmented reality, players can find the iconic little monsters during their daily travels – making them appear as if they were right in front of players. While much of this is good fun and an excellent method of getting young people off the couch, like most things in life, it is not without its fair share of dangers.
An Overview of Concussion Injuries and Their Symptoms
One of the most common types of traumatic brain injuries is a concussion. Concussions occur when a person suffers a strong blow to the head or some other impact that causes the head to violently snap in any direction. While lighter blows to the head are often absorbed by the brain’s surrounding cerebrospinal fluid, harder impacts cause the brain to bounce around or twist within a person’s skull, damaging brain cells and prompting chemical changes in the brain.
Often occurring in contact-sports such as football and hockey, this type of mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) can also occur during vehicle collisions, construction accidents, and slip and falls. Despite their classification as a mild injury, concussions can have serious effects and must be treated immediately to prevent long-term damage.
