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.
But please understand that nothing on this website is meant to provide legal information about your specific case, create an attorney-client relationship, or imply that the results of your legal case will be the same as some other case.
Mark was employed by a tree trimming company. Mark was on top of a building in Houston, Texas pruning trees when the roof collapsed, causing him to fall 20 feet to the ground. Mark sustained a brain injury as well as various orthopedic injuries.
The building was owned by Hodges Southwest, Inc. This company had insurance with The Travelers Lloyds Insurance Company.
Mark hired Vujasinovic & Beckcom to investigate his case. Through their investigation, V&B lawyers determined that immediately after the fall, the company gathered all of the evidence, threw it away, and fixed the roof. V&B attorneys determined that Mark had a valid claim for "spoliation" of evidence, which means the destruction of evidence in order to cheat somebody out of a valid claim. The lawsuit was filed in Harris County, Texas.
V&B lawyers worked up the case, which was defended by lawyers hired by the insurance company. V&B attorneys filed a motion with the court requesting the company be penalized for its improper destruction of evidence. The penalty would be that the jury would be instructed to assume that the evidence, if it had not been thrown away by the company, would have been favorable to Mark's case.
The day before the hearing on the spoliation motion, the insurance company agreed to pay the maximum limits of the insurance policy, in the amount of $1,000,000.
Result: $1,000,000
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.
