Auto Injury Claims Attorney - Dallas, Texas

Valentina R.

My life changed forever on a sunny afternoon when a commercial delivery van ran a red light at the intersection of Southern Avenue and Dobson Road near Fiesta Mall in Mesa, causing a violent collision that left me with multiple spinal fractures, traumatic brain injury, and internal injuries requiring extensive surgeries at Banner Desert Medical Center. As a self-employed plumbing contractor serving East Valley communities, my inability to work quickly created financial devastation on top of my physical trauma, and the delivery company's insurance adjusters began pressuring me to accept a settlement that wouldn't even cover my existing medical bills. A physical therapist recommended Car Accident Advocates' Mesa office on South Dobson Road, and attorney Lisa Martinez immediately recognized the inadequacy of the initial offer given my specialized trade and the severity of my injuries. Her investigation team secured traffic camera footage from the Mesa City Plaza that clearly showed the delivery driver running the light while on his phone, establishing clear liability, while also obtaining company records revealing the driver had previous distracted driving incidents. What truly distinguished Car Accident Advocates was their comprehensive understanding of how my injuries would permanently impact my plumbing business – they brought in vocational experts familiar with the physical demands of tradespeople in Mesa's construction industry to document exactly how my spinal injuries prevented me from performing essential job functions, while their financial analysts calculated both my immediate business losses and projected lifetime earnings reduction. Their connections with specialists at the Barrow Neurological Institute proved invaluable, as these experts provided thorough documentation of how my TBI and spinal injuries would permanently limit my ability to crawl under houses, lift heavy equipment, and perform the physical tasks essential to my trade throughout Mesa, Gilbert, and Chandler. Throughout my intensive rehabilitation at Banner Baywood Medical Center, their Mesa office location near Superstition Springs made it convenient for my family to consult with them, and their dedicated case manager, Tony, regularly attended my medical appointments to ensure comprehensive documentation of my treatment plan. When the delivery company's insurer finally acknowledged their driver's clear negligence, they offered a settlement that truly accounted for my permanent disabilities, lifetime medical needs, substantial business losses, necessary work modifications to continue partial operations through hired help, and the financial impact of transitioning from hands-on plumbing work to a more limited supervisory role. For any self-employed tradesperson suffering career-threatening injuries in Mesa, Tempe, or anywhere in the East Valley, Car Accident Advocates' specialized expertise with small business owners and their unwavering commitment to securing appropriate compensation for skilled contractors makes them the definitive choice for representation.
