We firmly believe that one of the pillars of society is the family. Therefore, since inception, the legal firm of Manuel Solis has had a dedicated office that defends families in cases related to immigration matters. Our attorneys have extensive experience in obtaining permanent residence, citizenship and asylum for families, and in dealing with matters related to U visa, VAWA and deportation.
After Texas experienced some of the most violent storms seen in a long time, we started to see many people who were suffering because of problems with claiming from insurance companies. Many of these people were defenseless against large corporations that denied them their rights. It was for this reason that we decided to open a branch office that specializes in insurance claims.
When a person experiences this type of natural disaster, or any other major accident, the most important thing is for them to take care of themselves and their family and not to have to worry about medical bills, compensation and documents. Unfortunately, without the help of a lawyer, many people end up on the losing end of aggressive insurance companies that try to dodge their responsibilities. This is how our accident-focused branch was born. Its aim is to defend accident victims, so that they can focus on a quick recovery, knowing that their interests are in safe hands and that a specialist is working on their behalf.
An injury caused by a motor vehicle accident may not be apparent for days, or it may be obvious and require immediate medical attention. There are also certain injuries that can cause lifelong suffering, such as an injury to the head or brain. In addition, even after healing physically, you may experience emotional trauma and anxiety following an accident and this may continue for years.
The legal specialists at the Law Offices of Manuel Solís can help you negotiate with your insurance company by commissioning an independent medical study and tests that ensure an understanding of the real damages as a result of injuries suffered during an accident — both those that are immediately apparent and those that may surface in the future.
If you had an accident while working, you may be entitled to have all the related medical expenses paid. And you might also be able to claim compensation. However, navigating the complicated bureaucracy of insurance companies is very confusing for those who do not have the necessary experience. This is where we can help. Our specialized lawyers can help you with the entire process, which will allow you to focus on the more important matter of your recovery.
A medical condition caused by an illness or an accident could become worse if you do not receive professional treatment from the doctor or the hospital treating you. Or you might suspect that the death of a loved one was due to a bad decision or action taken by the doctor or hospital where the loved one was treated. If you believe that you or your loved one did not receive professional treatment from your doctor or hospital, and that you suffered damages as a result, we can study your case to determine whether you have the right to claim compensation for your suffering.
