We designed this website to provide information to consumers, injured people, and their families. Our goal is to level the playing field between consumers and insurance companies and expose the tricks, traps, and techniques they use to cheat injured people out of their legal rights. We also let consumers know about legal news, including verdicts and settlements and other interesting legal information.

Case Results

Day laborer who suffered brain injury when struck in head by log obtains settlement

Johnny was working as an independent contractor day laborer for Ramrod Enterprises.  Johnny was working at the company's timber facility in Conroe, Texas, when an employee of the company operating a backhoe with a large log attached to it caused the log to hit Johnny in the head.  Johnny sustained a brain injury.

Ramrod Enterprises had liability insurance with Hanover Insurance Company

Johnny hired Vujasinovic & Beckcom to handle his case.  V&B lawyers filed the case in Harris County, Texas.

The company lawyers argued that Johnny was a "borrowed servant" of Ramrod Enterprises.  If this was true, then Johnny's case against the company would be barred by the Texas Workers Compensation Act because the company had workers compensation insurance and Johnny would be considered to be an employee of the company.  Employees of employers who have workers compensation insurance cannot sue their employers. 

V&B attorneys defeated this defense.  V&B lawyers obtained the file from the company's workers compensation insurance company, which showed that this insurance company did not pay any workers compensation benefits, which in turn contradicted the company's defense. 

The company lawyers also argued that Johnny was to blame for his accident, but V&B attorneys disproved this defense.

V&B negotiated a settlement for Johnny at mediation.

Result: $4,000,000

Above are representative settlements and verdicts pursued and won by Vujasinovic & Beckcom P.L.L.C. Please note that every case is different and these verdicts and settlements, while accurate, do not represent what we may obtain for you in your case. Nor does it mean that we win all of our cases - we don't. Our clients tell us that knowing that we have achieved significant results, both by settlement and by jury verdict, is one factor that many of them used to decide to hire us. You certainly should ask any prospective attorney whether he or she has obtained significant verdicts and settlements but the decision to hire an attorney should not be made on this factor alone. We would be more than happy to discuss any of these cases, and many others, with you.
