Renter injured on Landlord's property

I was renting a house when my landlord decided to try and do some outdoor plumbing work on his own.  My landlord dug several large holes in the yard and told me that he had filled in all of the holes.  Unfortunately, he forgot to fill in a hole on the side of the house.  When I walked on the side of the house to get my dog, I stepped into the deep hole and fractured my heel bone.  My doctor had to completely reconstruct my heel.  My landlord refused to report the claim to his homeowner's insurance company.  He told me I should have been looking where I was walking.  He blamed me for the accident.  My medical bills exceeded $50,000.00 and the bill collectors were contacting me.  A friend advised me to contact Gonzales & Gonzales.   Mr. Gonzales came to my home and explained my rights.  He was able to identify my landlord's insurance company and he made a claim for me.  What started out as a nightmare, turned out to be a blessing.  I was able to pay for all my medical bills and made a huge down payment on my own home.  If you are injured on someone else's property, please contact Gonzales and Gonzales.  They can and will help you.

Motorcycle Accident with Serious Head Injury

I was a passenger on the back of a motorcycle when a car rear ended the motorcycle.  Unfortunately, I was not wearing a helmet and I hit my head.  I sustained a serious head injury and was in the ICU for over a month.  I was in a coma for two weeks.  When I finally awoke, I learned that I had fractured my hip, legs, ribs and right arm.  My father contacted Gonzales & Gonzales for me and I will be eternally grateful to him and Gonzales & Gonzales.  The law office not only recovered policy limits from the driver who rear ended me, but also policy limits from the driver of the motorcycle on which I was on. In addition, Gonzales & Gonzales, recovered underinsured limits under my own policy, as well as underinsured limits on the motorcycle driver’s policy. I also found out I was entitled to recovery under the personal injury protection provision of my own policy.  I had no idea that there are so many different policies and provisions under which a seriously injured individual may recover.  Thank you Gonzales & Gonzales for making sure I got every penny I was entitled to recover. 

Car Crashes into Barber Shop

I was a patron at a local barber shop and had taken my two young children with me.  While I was getting my haircut, an elderly gentleman accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brakes and crashed into the barber shop.  The vehicle went approximately 20 feet into the shop hitting my two young children.  My 3 year old son broke his jaw and left arm.  My other son broke his leg and sustained a severe laceration on his arm.  I contacted Gonzales & Gonzales and they visited my family at the hospital.  Gonzales & Gonzales helped us understand our rights and explained that any money recovered for the children would be placed in the registry of the court for the children's benefit.  Both my children now have a substantial amount of money in the court registry which I believe they will use for college when they turn 18.  You see, Gonzales and Gonzales not only recovered against the man who crashed into the barber shop, but also recovered from the landowner's insurance carrier as the land owner had failed to comply with city ordinances by installing car stops in its parking lot to avoid such accidents.  Thank you Gonzales & Gonzales. 

Minor Parking Lot Accident

I had a car accident in a parking lot and the other driver admitted fault.  However, when I tried to get the insurance company to pay for my medical expenses, the insurance adjuster just told me that the accident was minor and that he didn't believe I could have been injured.  He said he would pay for the property damage, but that I would have to pay for the hospital bill.  I was surprised as the adjuster had originally been very nice to me and told me I should not get an attorney as he would treat me fairly.  I quickly learned that I needed an attorney and contacted Gonzales & Gonzales.  This law office ensured that the insurance carrier not only pay for my medical expenses, but carrier also paid for my lost wages and pain and suffering.  A lot of attorney's didn't want to help me when I told them that the accident occurred in a parking lot.  I can honestly say Gonzales & Gonzales cares about justice and people and I believe that is why they accepted my case. 

18-Wheeler Accident with Serious Brain Injury

I never imagined that my life would be completely changed by a serious accident with an 18 wheeler.  The insurance company accepted liability right away, as it was clear that the driver had driven into my lane and hit me head on.   After much investigation, Gonzales & Gonzales also learned that the driver had been under the influence of cocaine and was speeding.  Gonzales & Gonzales explained to me that although liability was very clear, we still needed to prove damages.  I thought the fact that my medical bills exceeded $300,000.00 should be enough, but it took Gonzales & Gonzales retaining the best medical experts before we could truly prove that I had been seriously injured.  A video of a day in my life was created and a neurosurgeon created images which explained how my brain had significantly changed.  From the outside, I looked normal.  However, my family and I knew that I was not the same person.  Gonzales & Gonzales also explained that there are Federal laws which regulate 18 wheelers.  Gonzales & Gonzales made sure that all investigative reports from both state and federal agencies were obtained before deciding the value of my case.  Today, I still require much home care and assistance.  I am thankful that the recovery obtained by Gonzales & Gonzales allows me to have the care and assistance I need and deserve.
