The team worked very hard to make things right for me after my accident.They were always very responsive and attentive. They helped me get to the best doctors and get the treatment I needed. They were more than ready to go to trial to fight for me when the trucking company's insurance company were no...t cooperative. In the end they were able to get them to increase their offer more than 10 times what they offered at mediation.

I was a roustabout for a big oil and gas company in Louisiana and had been with the company for over 9 years. In April, 2012, I was doing a crew change and was dropped over 20 feet from the transfer basket and crane. I shattered my left ankle and ruptured a disk in my lower back. The company ...sent me to one of their doctors who did surgery on my ankle. The doctor told me my back was just sprained and that I should take tylenol. Less than 2 months later, I was still in physical therapy and in severe pain, but the doctor cleared me back to work. I tried to tell the OIM and human resources that I wasn't ready to work but they didn't listen. A friend told me I needed a lawyer and referred me to Ryan's firm. I could tell they knew what they were doing when we first met. The first thing they did was get me to a REAL doctor, who said that I definitely wasn't ready to go back to work and that if I had gone back, I may not ever recover. I went through 5 more months of PT and started to get my strength back. The company had only been paying me $35 a day and said that that was all that I could recover. Ryan told me that what the company was paying was required and that I was able to recover much more, like all my medical expenses, lost wages, and for my pain and not being able to get around and do the things that I used to do. After Ryan filed my case in court, the company offered a lot more but Ryan turned it down, because he told me that my case was worth much more than that. I was nervous about turning it down but I trusted him. He was right. 2 months later he got the company to settle the case for 5 times what they were trying to pay me the first time! The settlement covered all my medical expenses, plus my lost wages and pain and suffering. I am now fully recovered, all my bills are paid, and I was able to put aside money in savings for my family. These are the guys you want on your side if you are ever hurt offshore or in any other type of accident. Thanks again!

I contacted Fitts Zehl and several other lawyers in Houston and Dallas after my car was rear ended by a semi on I-35 outside Dallas. The driver must have fallen asleep because he hit me going over 60 mph and caused my car to flip over. I didn't hire a lawyer for several months because I figured... the truck company would pay for the damage to my car, which was totaled, and pay my medical bills. Was I wrong! I knew after talking to other lawyers that Ryan was the lawyer that I wanted to help me. I could tell he knew what he was doing and that he was going to help me recover everything I lost since the accident. Ryan told me not to worry and that they would make sure that I was taken care of. While the case was going on, his staff made sure that I got to the right doctors and was able to pay for my surgery and bills, since I didn't have insurance. They came to check on me at the hospital and helped me get back and forth to the doctors since I didn't have a car anymore and couldn't drive for 2 months after the surgery. Even though I was rear ended and was driving the speed limit, the trucking company was trying to blame me because they said that my brake lights weren't working. I couldn't believe it! Less than 6 months later, Ryan was able to settle out of court for an amount that I never would have imagined! The truck company paid for my car, all my medical bills, plus enough to take care of myself and my son for as long as I would ever need! I would recommend Ryan and his law firm to anyone who was seriously hurt in an accident!

I chose Ryan and his law-firm after my family and I were struck by a reckless driver. Ryan was really great to work with and helped us through the entire process. Nothing like this had happened to me before, and after my injury I was worried that I wouldn't be able to afford the bills. They did ...a great job explaining the entire process and what we could expect. Ryan and his law-firm stood by us through our trial and got our medical bills covered along with significant damages awarded in our favor. I felt like they worked really hard for me and my family.

A great group of guys. I was hurt on an oil rig and looked around for someone to help. A couple guys I work with recomended Fitts Zehl. I didn't know what to expect since I've never gone to a trial before, but my friends were right. Fitts and Zehl both answered any questions I had quickly during the ...whole proces. They also got me the damages amount we asked the jury for. I felt real comfortable. I can't tell you how lucky I am to have found these guys.
