In the past, insurance companies were paying more reasonable amounts for accidents caused by their insured. Because of the sluggish economy, many insurance companies are using the delay tactics to stall cases and get the settle for less. Our law firm does not fall for that trick.
When you come to us for your personal injury case or vehicle accident or wrongful death or any other form of negligence by a another person against you, we take the time required to get you the maximum amount of money that you deserve.
When you have a auto accident or car wreck, the insurance company of the person that caused the accident will appoint an adjuster for the case. It is important to know that, the adjuster's job is to reduce, as much as possible, the amount of money that you may be entitled by law. They do this by taking their time to settle and by down talking your accident.
That is why you need an experienced law firm to handle your case. Our attorneys have handle and worked with insurance companies for many years. Let our experienced work for you if your case involve a personal injury, broken bones, lacerations, wounds or scaring of any part of your body.

Wrongful death in police brutality cases
During our time helping people in Texas litigate their disputes against the police departments, we have found that, in many instances, police brutality leads to wrongful death of the victims. In these cases, there may be criminal charges involved but also, there are civil liabilities that attach with the wrongful actions of the police departments.
To handle a wrongful death case against the police department, a violation of constitutional law (by the department itself) has to happen; otherwise, the individual cop would be personally liable for the actions, which would create the criminal liability spoken off above, but would leave the family members stranded without compensation.
Our law firm has successfully litigated numerous cases against police departments, including wrongful death cases. We are here to help the little people against the big gigants, that no one else is helping.
When you contact us, your case would be personally reviewed by Mr. Baez and would be handled with respect and dignity by our staff. Although many other attorneys will see the case through, if needed, Mr. Baez will take your case to trial. See what others are saying about Mr. Baez here.

The operator must give his/her name, address, and vessel identification number in writing to any injured person and to the owner of any damaged property. Failure to render aid in an accident resulting in death or serious bodily injury is punishable as a Parks and Wildlife felony.

Would your claim be subgrogated?
In order to understand the question, first the subject has to be defined. Subrogation is the substitution (or subrogation) of one person in the place of another with respect to a claim, demand or right against a third party, so that the substituted party assumes the rights of the other, or (stands in the shoes of or replaces) the other, with respect to a claim against the third party.
The doctrine of subrogation is based on principles of equality and good conscience and is generally used as a means of placing the ultimate burden of the debt on the person who should originally have it. Subrogation may be established by law (contract) or founded upon equity (facts).
For the most part, the doctrine of subrogation has been utilized by insurance companies who are obligated under their policies to pay their insureds for property damage or casualty losses which the insureds have sustained. A person's right to be subrogated to the rights of another generally arises when that person, acting pursuant to some obligation, pays the debt of the other.
In those situations where the damages appear to have been caused by the negligence or fault of third parties, insurance companies have traditionally exercised their right of subrogation to pursue claims against the alleged wrongdoer.
Because of subrogation, the insurance companies can "stand in the shoes of" their insureds and bring suit against the wrongdoers. Because the wrongdoers who caused the injuries are the persons who should bear the burden for such injuries, insurance companies' subrogation rights have generally entitled them to recover.
Our law firm constantly get calls from individuals who should have been affected under the doctrine, but are unaware of these facts until is too late. If have been injured as a result of some one's negligence, contact our law firm for a free initial consultation.

Raptiva and the FDA
Yesterday, the FDA announced the voluntary withdrawal of Raptiva from the US Market by its manufacturer Genentech. According to the FDA, there have been three confirmed and one possible case of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) in people taking Raptiva; three of those people died.
Sources tell us that PML is caused by a virus that affects the central nervous system. PML usually occurs in people whose immune systems have been severely weakened. It leads to an irreversible decline in neurologic function and death.
If you have taken Raptiva for more than three years, you may be entitled to compensation. If you have suffered form PML symptoms, which may include unusual weakness, loss of coordination, changes in vision, difficulty speaking, and personality changes, you may be entitled to compensation.
There is no known effective treatment for PML. Raptiva was approved by the FDA in 2003. It is a once-weekly injection for adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. The drug has been on the market for 6 years.
Contact The Baez Law Firm, P.C., so that we can go over your case.
